Incidentally, the two vigilantes, a man and a woman, were said to be Ganz and Olette, respectively.

Ganz is the son of Gandra, the appraiser.

Olette is Ganz's wife.

They are the leader and deputy leader of the Kilkenny Western Neighborhood Watch, and had recently been making various requests to Burgess in connection with a band of thieves.

They had previously partnered with Burgess and were married as a result of that relationship.

I didn't know they were associates of Burgess' husband, to whom my son owes a great debt of gratitude. I'm really sorry for the trouble I've caused you!"

It was actually Burgess who broke the ice between father and son, between Gandra, a stubborn father with a strong sense of duty, and Ganz, who hated his father...

Cupid Burgess.

At first, he made fun of her in various ways, but she seemed to adore him quite normally.

He promised me a big discount. No more bowing. Mr. Gandra."

Gandra tried to bow even more, but I told her not to...

As for today, I was to have the "Great Merchant Grill's Letter" appraised as scheduled.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Then, a few minutes later.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

We received a certificate for "The Great Merchant Grill's Letter" with Gandra's signature.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

The regular price for "item appraisal" at this store is 100 mana, but I got an 80% discount, so it's 20 mana.

Profit!

It seems that Gandra is also good with people involved in kirket auctions. It seems that Gandra is also known for her goodwill toward people involved in the Kirkett Auction, and she sometimes undertakes to appraise items for them.

In other words, an item certificate with Gandra's signature on it is like having the endorsement of the Kilket nobility.

The "Great Merchant Grill's Letter" with Gandra's certificate of authenticity.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

This is just my guess, but it was likely to be worth about 50,000 mana.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

That's outrageous!　According to my estimation, it would easily fetch 100,000 mana!　If you combine it with the over 50 pieces of jewelry of Grill's wife, it's not a dream to exceed 1,000,000 mana!

If that's the case, we'll make a killing.

As for the other relics, he said he would ask for their official appraisal and polishing at a later date. We decided to pull out for the time being.

In addition to the discount on the appraisal fee.

It was a great deal for us to have Gandra, the appraiser, on our side.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

It would also give us a foothold to sell our relics at the central auction.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Preparations were slowly coming together.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I couldn't stop being excited, even though I was too old to be excited.

A few days later.

Loloi and I were selling relics at the wagon square as usual...

"Cupid Burgess's party. It seems that they have conquered the Earth Ruins following the heroic party.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"They've teamed up with an unknown man who claims to be a former member of the Brave Party."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I heard something like that.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

The merchants around us were talking about it.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I heard that old Gandra, the appraiser, had authenticated the 'Great Merchant Grill's Letter.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Such stories were already beginning to circulate as rumors.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

A real treasure hunter has come out. You guys are already out of business.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I'll miss Loloi, but wouldn't it be wise to close up store sooner rather than later?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

The business associates who had lined up the wagons teased me and Loloi with such comments.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I was not malicious and did not listen to their teasing, but...

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

A few hours later, they came at me with a bloodthirsty look on their faces.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

You!　You're Albus, the former member of the brave party?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

And Loloi usually called me that.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I used to do business with a sign that said "Albus's Moo Moo Yaki.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

My name itself was already well known among my business associates.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

And apparently, the name "Albus, a former member of the brave party" came up in the rumor mill, and my name was connected to his.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

My business associates were asking me and Loloi what was going on with their eyes glazed over.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

The business associates were all wide-eyed as they listened to me and Loloi tell them what was going on.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Even for Burgess, the all-time Cupid. Spring has finally sprung!

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

...That's a lie."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Or Burgess is just assuming it.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

'...?　...... Loloi's partner is. It's Albus here, isn't it?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Loloi, who is currently in a party of two with me, responded.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"......"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"......"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Just a moment.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

The stares of my business associates hurt.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

That's a misunderstanding.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I digress for a moment...

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

It's true, for a change, that spring is coming to Burgess.

And so it goes.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

The relics we're selling have a solid foil that says, 'It's the real deal.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

People began to crowd in front of my wagon store every day to see and buy the relics sold by the "treasure hunter who conquered the Earth Ruins.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I'm just a merchant. The treasure hunter is Loloi over here.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Whenever I said this, I received a variety of reactions.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Such a petite girl!　Are you kidding me?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

But I heard she beat up a big appraiser five times her size with her skinny little arms.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Rumors began to circulate, and even customers began to show up just to see Loloi.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Is that the treasure hunter girl who smashed the bedrock at the site of the underground labyrinth collapse with her bare hands and beat four of the labyrinth's demons to death at the same time?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I heard that Albus the merchant has a hell of a monster as his bodyguard."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

......"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Rumors were always a tail ender before you knew it.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Anyway. The relics that used to sell only a few a day now sell at least 10 a day.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

And then...

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I was asked, "Don't you have anything more valuable?　Please show me."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Some customers even began to come to me and say, "We are still waiting for an official appraisal.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Many of them are still waiting for official appraisals. And I'm sorry, but I don't have any artifacts that could be classified as high grade or high grade. I intend to put them up for auction.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

The gazes of the other merchants in the wagon square were no longer the same as they had been a few days before.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

It seemed that our relic sales were starting to go in the right direction.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

'The relics (romance) of Loloi!　They are going to sweep the world!

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

By the way, Loloi was very excited about this trend.
