I was called into Mitra's room after cleaning up after the banquet hall.

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

The room was not overflowing with dolls as it had been sometime ago, but only ten wooden dolls that I had just made were lined up on the desk.

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

I'd sold almost all of them in the last two months.

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

The rest are still in my warehouse.

'Mitra...what is your errand?'

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

I asked, numb to the fact that Mitra had not said anything.

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

You know what it is, don't you?

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

What is it?

"......."

In front of my wondering eyes.

Mitra suddenly took off her clothes one by one.

Mitra suddenly took off her clothes one by one.

"Wait, wait, wait..."

"Albus-sama, you have been planning to do this from the beginning, haven't you?"

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

The skin is translucent and white.

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

I looked away involuntarily.

The first thing to do is to make sure that you have a good idea of what you want to do.

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

The first thing to do is to make sure that you have a good time with your family and friends. And now Clarice can live as she pleases without any worries. All of this is thanks to Albus-sama.

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

Sure, if she marries me here, then she really won't have to worry anymore. Then she really won't have to worry about it anymore.

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

The mansion is now mine.

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

So, Mitra would like to make it hers in a more proper way.

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

And also, she would like to have one of her servants to help her with her purchases.

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

Please take care of it for me.

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

Saying that, Mitra came even closer.

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

The most important thing to remember is that you can't just take a look at the person you're looking for.

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

Are you serious?

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

Yes...I am serious. Come on, Mr. Albus. Please ...... do as you please."

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

Arcana's face floated a little...

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

And then it was scratched away.

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

That's not what this is about.

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

This is not about that.

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

Okay.

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

Okay.

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

Did you expect me to say ......?

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

What?

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

Yes, this is not about Arcana at all.

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

This is not about marriage.

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

It's about my pride and joy.

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

"Get dressed quickly, Mitra."

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

I said that and turned around.

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

I'm the one who owns the house, and if you want it, you'll have to marry me. Did you really think I would do something like that, like buy someone (Mitra) with mana?"

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

If I did that, it would be no different than Jimmy Radiak's tactics.

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

I had no intention of doing that from the beginning.

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

The only reason I've made it this far is...

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

It was only because I wanted to live up to the expectations of Burgess, Clarice, and Leroy.

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

And because the theater business in this mansion was also becoming a form that would lead me to further success as a merchant. I was able to bite at such a high price.

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

Albus is probably right. I thought that Albus would probably play with me like a slave when he bought the mansion,....... The most important thing to remember is that the best way to get the most out of your money is to be honest with yourself.

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

What?

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

Mitra thought I was that kind of guy!

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

I thought it was fine with me too. And I (I) thought it was all right. I think Albus has the right to do so. Rather, I am willing to give you as much of my body (such as this) as you want."

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

And what would Mitra get for it?

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

Peace for herself (Mitra)" and "Freedom for Clarice.

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

Not bad terms for a negotiation.

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

And perhaps it is not correct to say, "I thought I would do that.

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

It is more correct to say that Mitra herself thought she should be the one to do it.

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

I'm not going to do that. I'm not going to do that."

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

Indeed. The first time I saw this, my reason almost blew up for a moment, but I held it in!

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

Tomorrow, we'll go through the formalities to make this mansion jointly owned. Originally, we were told that 1/3 of the sale price of the relics belonged to Clarice, so of course she has that much right. However, the garden will remain my property.

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

Yes.

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

If you get it, get dressed quick."

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

Ever since a moment ago, I've been having trouble keeping my eyes open.

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

If I'm not careful, my reason will go away again.

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

My instinctive part (lower body) had already started to assert itself in various ways.

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

I was glad that Mitra could not see it.

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

I understand.

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

Without saying anything more, Mitra groped through the clothes scattered on the floor and began to put them on in turn.

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

'I don't quite understand, Master Albus.

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

After putting on all the clothes again, Mitra said something like that.

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

'Yeah, even I still have no idea what Mitra is thinking.

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

Perhaps there is a sense of resignation at the heart of Mitra. The fact that she treats herself like a thing and thinks that she deserves to be played with by me after I bought the mansion is nothing but a resignation to all of that.

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

But why is Mitra in such deep resignation? I couldn't figure it out.

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

I don't know how much of a burden being blind and having to depend on others for survival must be on one's mind...and I don't know.

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

I don't know.

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

Well, that's how it is between strangers, isn't it?

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

It is not easy to truly understand someone who is in a completely different situation. Or perhaps it is impossible.

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

That's why I don't understand Mitra.

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

And that's fine.

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

I don't need to understand everything about the person I'm involved with.

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

I don't need to understand everything about the person I'm involved with. You really do do everything that you say without thinking about it.

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

Don't buy it. Don't buy it. I don't buy it at all.

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

I (I) did not believe your words that night when you said that the slave was a person. Perhaps it was just hypocrisy on your part.... When you actually have power and there is someone in front of you whom you can treat as such, you would not bother to treat him as a human being..."

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

So now I was being tested by Mitra?

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

No...

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

No, no.

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

Mitra really wanted to enslave me.

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

That I would do so, or something like that, is probably just an excuse.

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

Even when I told her I was going to buy the mansion.

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

For Mitra, it was just a change from Jimmy Radiak to me. She probably thought that nothing had changed in terms of what she had to do.

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

I promised you earlier. Tomorrow, I will take everyone to the House of Lords' sub-branch to finalize the ownership of this mansion.

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

I promised again and stood up.

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

Yes.

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

I could hear a hint of confusion in Mitra's voice.

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

Perhaps she had never thought that I would refuse to humiliate Mitra and promise to jointly own the mansion without asking for anything in return.

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

Or maybe it was the fear that I had nothing to offer in return...

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

But I never really intended to ask for anything in return.

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

The wooden dolls at Mithras are wonderful. They are already an integral part of the Mistria Theater's bottom line. So, in exchange for the mansion, I'd like you to continue to sell them exclusively to me.

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

In other words, it's an "exclusive contract.

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

Sales of Mitra's dolls currently amount to about 60,000 mana per month.

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

If we further increase the variety, increase the number of performances, and extend the hours of sale. If we increase the variety of dolls, the number of performances, and the sales time, we expect to be able to continue to sell up to 120,000 mana per month.

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

The speed of production is also sufficient since there is still plenty of time to spare.

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

If I can keep it as my own personal merchandise for a long time to come, then this is a mutually beneficial business deal.

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

I'm not going to let something that's nothing more than a little girl's plaything go to waste..."

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

Mitra should have more confidence in his own skills.

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

What?

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

...okay?"

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

Finally, he said.

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

After confirming Mitra's small nod, I left the room.
