Patron ....... When you say patron in this case, do you mean like a mistress contract?　That's a lot of tough stuff for a 21 year old virgin to do: .......

'Why did you suddenly start talking like that ......?　Maybe you should offer that sort of thing to your own guests?

　My opinion. But Elepippi is in the mood to put a hatena mark on his head and say, "What is he talking about?

What's a ...... customer?
No, it's ......, so, well, you know, are you a good friend or something?
...... Huh?　...... Oh. I see.

　Oh, that makes sense. Elepippi claps her hands together as if to say "Oh, that makes sense.
　What's the meaning of this?　I guess I was a real-life kind of dumbass kid.

"...... I'm not a streetwalker. I was in that place to do what you wanted me to do.

　And then a quick problem statement.

　So, was it: ......?
　...... It's true that I had a history of being the only one of several prostitutes in the room at that time who didn't seem to be sleazy and easy to talk to. ...... It was at that point that the guidance began.
　I'm sorry for treating you like a whore and making you put your arms around her or something. ......
　I'm sorry that I thought my vocation might be that of a prostitute. ......!

So why do you want to be a patron?
...... I'm an actress. I'm an actress, but I'm struggling to make ends meet. I'm a freaking life.

　Living life and living life: .......
　I see. No wonder you were an actress, if you were an actress, that you have acting skills and need patrons ......?

　Let's talk to Rebecca at ...... about this kind of thing, let's do that.

'Huh?　Hmmm. Well, yeah ....... You're right, if you can do that much theater, you must really be an actress ....... There's a theater in Elishe, too. But if you're a stage actress there, it shouldn't be so hard to make a living.
Yeah, how's it going?
"...... I'm still only getting an offshoot of ....... I don't get paid much, and my house isn't wealthy.

　So even though you're talented, the reality is that the reality is tough.
　You're still young in terms of age, and the theatre company?　But I guess a seniority-based society has been formed. Or the ones above them are not good enough to see.
　Of course, it's possible that the other guys are better and more flowery.
　Either way, he said, life is impoverished .......

'I see ....... You can't have a vocation and still have it.

　Life is tough. There's such a thing as a blessing compared to Earth, so some parts of it will be easy ($3 million for getting a spirit stone!　(What a thing), but still, it doesn't seem to be something that you can get by with a vocation, and even if you have a 5x growth rate, it might not actually be an advantage, since all your rivals with the same vocation are like that.
　But Elepippi's answer was not what I had in mind.

...... My vocation is not to be an actor. I don't think there's a single person in Elishe who has the vocation of an actor ....... It's a rare vocation.
...... Yeah.

　The topic of vocation is a sensitive one, and that was a bit of a misunderstanding.
　Basically, it was said that people in this world make a profession out of what comes out of their vocation, so I assumed it was that way.
　After all, as long as there is a vocation of a con man (that's me), any vocation with a bad image is possible, and the possibility that Elepippi is such a vocation is undeniable .......

　I'm not sure if she sensed the awkwardness of the situation or not, but Elepippi took my arm and leaned in close and whispered in my ear, " is a bad vocation.
...... It's not a bad vocation, it's just a bit of bad luck. It's just a bit of bad luck. ...... Let me tell you something, young master. ...... My vocation is ............
　Yeah, it's erotic.
　If it is done for the purpose, but if it is natural, it is very troubling. Is this what is called genie?

　However, it's difficult to judge how much to trust this kind of self-reporting.
　But I've decided to trust Erepippi - Erepippi's vocation.

...... So, if I were to become a patron, what would I get in return?

　Patron of a prostitute has a hint of lewdness to it, but when you say patron of an actor, it has a different connotation. I suppose it's simply a way of supporting them and therefore assisting them, or if they become famous, they'll promote the store, or something like that.
　Either way, I don't know many people over here. She's a bit strange, but she's definitely beautiful, and depending on the amount of money, I might be able to become her patron.
　It's a good thing that we've met under the guidance of a good friend.

　But for some reason, Elepippi looked up at me and teased me with her bushy hair and didn't respond to my questions.
　Are you practicing your acting to tickle a man's heart?　Virginity is easily tickled, so give me a break.

The ...... quid pro quo is that ...... of course ...... body.
What did you say?

　And a no-go look up.
"No? And she's even making a cute request to me.
　Wow, women are scary!　I'm scared because it's not at all bad!　If it hadn't been for Rebecca, I would have easily taken it on.

'It's all very tempting, but no, it's too much of an act. Well, if you're in so much trouble, you can have it at my place. We'll pay you.

　I say no, but I'm ready to secure it. I have a reputation for s*xuality.
　Well, frankly, if I can make it erotic, of course I want to make it erotic!　
　Even though I'm already surrounded by Deanna and Marina and all that, somehow it's like living a celibate life!
　I don't know if it's easy to say SUEZEN, OK, after a lucky encounter.

"...... business?　But I'm afraid my vocation is the thing: ......
No, I don't need a vocation.

　Frankly speaking, there is no need for a vocation in sales. Of course, if I had a vocation, I might be like a supermarket salesman and become the number one seller in all the branches. We're still the one and only store, and it's a street market. If I said I needed a vocation, I'd be laughed at. ......
　Oh, that's right. I've been in the young master mode for a while now, so people think I have the right stuff for the store. If you show them the store, they might be disappointed.

...... Hey, Jiro. Are you sure you're going to be okay with hiring me so easily?　If you're not an apprentice, you'll have to pay me well, too!

　Rebecca's concern is also understandable. If you're an apprentice, you can be forgiven for the tears of a salary sparrow, but there's little merit in hiring someone without going through a guild.

''No, it's not that kind of stubbornness, it's more like a part-time job. It's like a part-time job, especially nowadays when it's often left to a single person, so there's no limit to the number of people you can hire. The best thing about it is that it's always better to have someone with a talent, and more importantly, they're ...... beautiful.

　Yes, there are some merits to this case. This case has quite a bit of merit.
　The CEO of a black company said that you should pay double the salary for a beautiful new hire.
　And how valuable a beautiful woman who can act is in the business: ....... It's one thing to have a beautiful woman who can act, but it's another thing to have a beautiful woman who can act.
　But if you have a business meeting in the future, you can ask her to go with you for a business meeting or something like that, she's a powerful ......, oh, but in that sense, she's a cheat-grade powerful high elf-sama!
was already there.
　It's like you're only ruling one country in the game's Three Kingdoms, but you already have Zhuge Liang, and you've pulled in yet another warlord (and armed forces, too).
　What is this analogy?

...... And I hate to say this, but can I trust you?
Of course. I have my reasons.
'Really?　I don't mind if you say you like Jiro. Aren't you confused by that girl's s*x appeal?

　Rebecca's argument is also most valid. And I'm sure there's a feeling that I want to try to be misled by that s*xy scent.

''No, it's that girl's calling.
'Vocation?　Did you hear that?
Yes. Yes, because that was the most reliable one for me. That's the only reason, so it's not an exaggeration to say that I just want to trust you.

　Rebecca-san cowered at my words. It seems that even with that kind of explanation, she was able to understand it to a point.
　Well, it's not like I'm going to trust her 100%. I'm going to make sure that I hold the parts that should be held in check.

　I explained the outline of the job to the still skeptical Elepippi.
　I'll be paid by the hour (I explained it to him because we didn't have a concept of an hourly wage).
　If you have a rehearsal or play, you can take a day off.
　If you really don't have the money, you can borrow your salary in advance at .......

'Are you sure you want to go to ......?　Young master.
'I'm not a young husband. ...... It's not nice, it's just a matter of getting you to work.

　It's more of a "Are you sure?" thing that you said about paying with your body in the first place.　Geehee. I'll be serious, okay? I was like, "You want to come and see it?

"If you have time to spare, you want to come check it out anyway?　And if it's not a good fit, you can say no.
...... Yeah.




　◇◆◆◆◇




　The three of us go back to the shop.
　It's a shop, or a stall, or a stall .......
　I thought I'd get to see Elepippi's "it wasn't supposed to be this way" face, but she's completely unapologetic.
　d*mn, it's so well acted.

　Marina was waiting for me at the store. Apparently Deanna hadn't come back yet.

'Oh, Lord which one and Tycho which one!　Welcome home!　How was it?　You have found the race, sir?
I'm home. I found the race.
Thank you, Lord. Now you can give Orica a gift. Oh, but can you sell it to Marina at ......?
'Of course. That's what we're here to find out.
It's a pleasure, sir!
You know a funny word, don't you?

...... young master, who is that person?

　Oh, yeah, I should introduce you.
　Deanna's not here, but this is practically like the final interview.
　And if you have an aversion to the Turks, you're not going to be able to hire us for a bit.

"Oh, that's Marina. "Oh, this is Marina, my protective slave. And that's Etoi. And the other one's my apprentice. This is my apprentice, and they are both going to be working part-time from now on, Elepippi. Treat them well.

　A quick introduction and before Marina and Etowah could open their mouths, Elepippi stepped forward.

'Ha, nice to meet you!　Elepippi, I'm 17 years old. Best regards. ...... Yoloy nice!

　That ......?　Isn't this a bit intense?　I'm surprised that he's 17 years old, but I'm also surprised that he has the sensitivity to praise a Yoloi all of a sudden.

I was surprised that he was 17 years old, but I was also surprised that he had the sensitivity to praise a Yoloi all of a sudden.　Marina is a slave of the Lord!　And he is the knight who guards the Lord and the princess. Yoroi was bought by the Lord. He is Marina's treasure. It's also a weapon. This is Marina's axe and spear. This is also bought by the Lord. It is Marina's treasure. Marina is a slave, but she is allowed to ride on a horse. This is Marina's treasure. And this hairpiece...

　No!　This is nothing to be ashamed of!　It's only natural for the Lord to buy equipment for his own slaves. ......

'-- knight.'

　Elepippi gives Marina a passionate look that includes longing. This is .......

'Hey young master. She's a knight ......?
You're a knight.
We are the knights, sir!
What?
...... Are you a knight?
"We are a squad of knights consisting of only Tycho and his mate Marina.
What?

　Wow. Before I knew it, the Knights had formed a squadron!
　And it seems that Rebecca is the captain. I asked her about it and she seems to be not crazy about it. It's not exactly Marina's outburst, is it? ....... Well, it's true that they both have a knight's vocation, so there's nothing wrong with that: ...... But ......

　Elepippi's eyes light up even more at Marina's knightly remarks. And then he speaks out as if impressed.

'Oh, I want to be included!　No, let me join the Knights, senior!

　Wow.
