Guild Boss's Ambition

"President Ehard, I'm really sorry! I'm really sorry!"

After the priest left, the girl Sophie suddenly bent down and apologized to me with formal aristocratic etiquette. However, she really needed to reflect deeply on her rash behavior just now. If I had not been curious and came over to take a look, and let her fall like that, who knows whether the weapons in those boxes would have stabbed her six times?

I warned with lingering fear: "If someone dies, the price of our guild's property will drop..."

"Ugh...I'm sorry."

Seeing the merchant girl drooping her head, I suddenly felt reluctant to blame her. However, for the sake of the daily safety of the Stone House as a whole, I still had to stand firm on the president's position: "Luckily I passed by this time. You may not be so lucky next time. No matter how strong you are, you still have to remember to be cautious and focused when carrying dangerous objects. You must never walk while doing something."

"Thank you, President Ehard, for your teachings."

Hearing this, Sophie bowed to me politely, behaving properly like her elder sister.

This time, I suddenly remembered the extraordinary strength that Raftan had displayed that day, so I asked half-jokingly, "By the way, why are both of you sisters so much stronger than ordinary people? Did you grow up eating brute force spinach?"

"No, no, no, we sisters are just ordinary descendants of barbarians." Sophie replied with a subtle expression.

“Oh—”

After hearing Sophie's explanation, my curiosity was aroused: "Then why don't you and Raftan have the ancient lines that barbarians are born with? Or are you mixed-bloods?"

The merchant girl touched her cheek and smiled proudly: "Yes, my father and Raftan's father are both pure humans, and our barbarian bloodline is inherited from our mother. Don't think that barbarians are ugly. My sister and I have beautiful eyes and soft hair because of our mother's excellent bloodline!"

Girl, are you really a man to praise the looks of your family members so shamelessly?

I looked at the young merchant who was sincerely apologizing a second ago in silence, resolutely ignoring her unusually strong sense of racial superiority, and pointed at her store: "By the way, your business doesn't seem to be that good?"

The merchant girl Sophie looked bitter and sighed, "Alas - let alone the customers outside the Stone House, I can't even attract the adventurers in your Stone House. I've only done a few small businesses since I opened the shop. I don't know what went wrong that made them turn around and leave immediately after just one look at me."

Before I could answer, the priest who had completed his mission earlier came over.

He asked us hopefully, "Is this a recycling center? Recycling or something?"

“Basically everything,” Sophie replied.

"So, how much money can these four black fox skins get?" asked the priest.

Sophie examined them for a few seconds and said with a sweet smile, "These black fox skins are collected quite well. I can buy them back for fifteen silver coins. What do you think, big brother?"

The priest was stunned and said, "But the leather shop always charges me eighteen silver coins."

After hearing what the priest said, Sophie quickly corrected him and said, "Then I will also charge you eighteen silver coins."

As a result, the priest nodded and agreed to the deal, and kept the black fox skin.

And from this transaction, I also saw some clues to the problem.

I asked Sophie, "If I remember correctly, eighteen silver dollars is the average price of black fox skin in the leather market, right? If you buy back the fur at this price and the price fluctuates, won't you lose money?"

Sophie nodded vaguely and said, "I have to buy it even if it means losing money. There are too few adventurers who have noticed the recycling center. Although I can bring them all kinds of conveniences here, they are used to selling their loot in other fixed places. If I want them to change their original habits, I must work hard to win every customer flow."

"So she noticed it herself?"

"You're a little smarter than I thought..."

"But I still don't know enough about the adventurer industry."

I opened my hands to her distressed face.

She looked at me suspiciously.

I put on a smile that I thought was handsome: "Give me twenty silver coins and I'll help you with temporary business consulting."

"President Ehard—"

The merchant girl looked up at me with a twinkling gaze and said, "You are still as stingy as the legend says! You can get a share of the profits of my recycling center, but you still charge me such a trivial consulting fee? Do you still have a sense of honor as a knight? Where is your compassion? Are you a devil without blood or tears?"

Ah──

I was scolded harshly by a venomous tongue──

But──

Gold coins must be collected.

I put on an honest and kind smile and replied with a fake smile: "I'm sorry, it seems that our ancestors also had blood with the dragon clan. So, I will give you a total of 20 silver coins as consulting fees. Of course, you don't have to agree to it."

Finally, she reluctantly took out two strings of silver coins from her wallet and gave them to me.

All I gave her in return was that short revelation.

I pointed at my nose and said with a smile, "Come and buy advertising from us. As long as you are willing to pay Stone House, I will let Hai Lao and his men promote your recycling center in front of every adventurer. Please believe me, even if you place more advertisements in the newspaper, in the end, they may not be as effective as a word from our guild's poster girl."

"(Beep!), give me back my silver coins!"

"It was clearly a transaction between us both. Girl, why do you look so cheated? And aren't you an elegant earl? How can you swear so rudely? Hey, hey, hey, don't play with the knife! Calm down! Calm down! Ah, no! I'm sorry!"

Amid the knife attack from the businessman Sophie, I fled the scam scene in embarrassment.

Of course, I didn’t return the silver coins to her in the end, and she will definitely buy advertising from me in the future.

5. The author can’t think of a title (Blanny)

(Branny Erhard)

"Thank you teacher for your guidance."

"Well, remember to be safe on the way back."

In the evening, I said goodbye to Teacher Isabella and took Lian'er, who had just woken up from a nap, home. Normally, with her restless personality, she should have run off to play with Xiaolan or Xiaoban at this time. However, this morning, Xiaolan and the other dog ran off on a mission without any warning, and when Sister Meng'er talked about this, she was like a lioness with her fur standing on end.

She kept saying that she would spank Xiao Lan in public as a punishment.

Looking back now, I also feel that it would be a scene that I look forward to.

And when I returned to the stone house, Lian'er no longer needed my care.

Everyone in the Stone House was very nice to her, and she quickly got used to the guild environment.

There would be no danger even if she was allowed to run around the house and play by herself, and at dinner time at 6:30, she would automatically and consciously appear in front of our table. Of course, children are children after all, and sometimes she would accidentally lose her sense of proportion, causing all of us to worry about her and run around for her.

And once upon a time, Sister Meng'er was also so willful.

Crack!

I returned to my dormitory alone.

First, I watered my Clivia out of habit...

Then take off the clothes you have worn before and go to the bathroom to clean yourself.

“!!!!!!!”

"Surprise!"

A blue-furred fox girl was lying in a bathtub without water, and greeted me cheerfully.

I closed the door in a second, rubbed my eyes, and looked towards the open window.

"..."

Obviously, judging from the initial situation at the scene, there are two main possibilities for the situation just now.

The first is that my room was illegally invaded by some shameless clown.

The second reason is that I am old and my eyesight is blurry.

I thought about it for a long time in front of the bathroom door.

"Actually, you don't have to take a bath in your own room, right?"

I calmly let go of the door handle, holding my change of clothes, and walked to the dormitory door.

Bang!

A blue-haired fox girl jumped out of the bathroom at the speed of light.

"Why are you running away? ViVi, I've been waiting for you for a long time!"

With tearful eyes, she opened her arms to block my way.

Although it looks like a cute furry baby, this notorious creature in front of me is obviously a poisonous apple. I don't think anything good will come from being associated with her, but since she has appeared in my room by herself, it is a sudden disaster. If I insist on avoiding her, it will probably only backfire in the end.

To be cautious, I just asked casually, "Miss ViVi, what are you doing in the bathroom of my room?"

"Wait for you to come back and take a bath together──"

"..."

I had no idea how to respond to this weird clown. I had only met her once, but she acted very familiar and relaxed. Although her actions seemed harmless, there was a sense of weirdness in them, so weird that I had no idea what motivated her behavior.

I stared at her with calm eyes.

Since I can't guess the answer, I'll just wait for her to announce the answer herself.

However, her expression changed and she looked at me with the same calm gaze.

Me: Stare—

She: Stare—

Me: Stare─────

She: Stare─────

Me: Stare──────────

She: Stare────────blink

"Ah! I lost! I actually lost in such a childish game!"

Looking at the blue-eared fox girl kneeling on the ground, I felt like I had won something, but also like I had lost something. But no matter what, I was gradually becoming impatient with this uninvited guest. Even though she was the main adventurer of our guild, it didn't mean that she could come and go in my room as she pleased. This would make me feel very insecure.

"Miss ViVi, if there is nothing else, could you please leave my room?"

"not good."

She rejected my cold order to expel her without a second thought.

It was so refreshing that I didn't expect it.

I had no choice but to use more solemn words.

"Please leave immediately, sir."

"Sister, I am homeless now, please don't chase me away! Wuuwuwu──"

This time, the foxy clown pounced on my feet and rubbed them like a canine, emitting bursts of wailing that were unique to the beastmen. I was stuck in this situation, and I couldn't bear to kick her away, but it seemed inappropriate to shout for help. I was left hesitant and at a loss as to what to do.

However, the facts tell us that as a woman, you cannot be soft-hearted.

The foxy clown rubbed all the way, and even rubbed all the way under my skirt, and even breathed hot air on my private parts while saying something that made me laugh and cry: "Hey, where is this place? Why did it suddenly get dark? Where are you, Miss Blanny? ViVi knows she is wrong, don't lock me up in the small dark room!"

everyone.

I solemnly reiterate this once again.

I hate clowns.

Especially the clown from the orc tribe.

Bang!

I bent my right leg and kicked the bastard under my skirt with all my strength!

A gust of wind caused by the strength of my legs blew up the hem of my skirt.

Unfortunately, the foxy clown still held my left foot tightly.

Even though she was kicked by me, she was still playing some kind of situational game with ease, and continued to speak incomprehensible dialogues in front of that embarrassing position: "Oh, I see the light! Oh, it's dark again! Giving light and hope to sinners in despair, and then ruthlessly taking it away, Miss Blanche, you are naughty."

"..."

Anyone who has walked through mountainous areas should have some memory of the annoying fruit of Xanthium sibiricum. It has a large number of barbs that can easily get caught on animal fur and human clothing, and is not easy to pull out.

At this moment, the rogue fox clown is simply a disaster-level cocklebur.

I looked at her coldly as she kept twisting her body under her skirt, thinking about how to get rid of the trouble.

"But, if we think in a normal way, can we really get rid of this strange thing?"

"Besides, I have a dinner date with Sister Meng and the others later, so I have to hurry up..."
