Chapter 24.2

“Ah! These are pajamas made of Mavestas silk!”

I couldn’t help raising my voice in surprise by what I saw in the tent.

It’s the finest of all the fabrics used by the royal family that’s hard to find.

It’s a silk fabric with fine details, high heat retention, and it has excellent texture against the skin.

I expressed my desire to purchase it without even looking at the price.

“Wait, Louie-chan…That’s expensive. Did you see the price tag?”

He said, so I looked at the price tag, it was 300,000 Lutz.

That’s the average monthly salary of a commoner.

“That’s great! I would like to buy it!”

I have enough money to spend anyway!

If you’re just a person working in the infirmary in a base, you’re brave to use your money like this, but I have gained royalties on products made from the theory that I’ve developed.

It was an amount that I thought I would never be able to finish in my lifetime, so I stopped looking at the money in the envelope after that.

I’m a researcher, so I’m not interested in counting money…

But at this moment, I thanked Heaven for the money I had.

“Ah, ah! There are pillow covers and sheets made of Mavestas silk! This too!”

“Louie-chan, I’m sorry but…”

I was interrupted by a harsh tone.

“I had a prior contract for that. Rather, I collected them because it’s been ordered by someone. I’m really sorry.”

“Ehhh…!!”

‘Dunnn!!’, I could hear that sound effect flying over my head.

But, but, they’re the best pajamas and they are made of such fine silk that I rarely get to see!

I can’t sleep without wearing this!!

“I didn’t think such high-end products would be popular at a base like this. It’s expensive and…Don’t make a face like that~”

Am I making a really sad face right now?

He gently stroked my head to comfort me.

“Louie-chan…I would want to sell it to a beautiful person like Louie-chan too though.”

He lightly hugged me and patted my head even more.

I was still disappointed when the tent cloth opened and light came in.

I heard familiar footsteps along with it.

“Royford…Oi! What’re you doing!”

“Ah, Caesar-chan.”

Caesar?

I turned back to the blonde-haired knight.

In the black light, Caesar, whose veins were popping out, rushed in with strides, and pulled me.

“Oi, don’t touch what’s mine.”

“Ah…Oh my~~~~ So that’s what it is.”

Royford clasped his hands together and laughed understandingly.

“These pajamas! And the anklet too! So that was it~~!!”

“Shut up. Do something about that tone of yours.”

Anklet? The one he bought for me?

…Which means, he bought the anklet from this man?

I didn’t go out the last time the dealers came by, so I can’t confirm whether this tent was here or not, but…

“Louie-chan, Caesar and I were classmates at school in the royal capital~ I was in the trading department while he was in the knight department, but our parents didn’t know each other.”

Royford said, laughing cheerfully.

I see, I thought they seemed close, so they knew each other.

“This rude man bought an anklet from me so…He even requested for a good one! I thought something was wrong with him!”

“So he’s with such a beautiful person…Even I feel happy right now!”

Royford continued to speak with high tension as Caesar smacked the back of his head.

“Of course, you ordered these silk products as gifts for Louie-chan as well, right?”

He nodded as he smiled and said so.

Hearing those words, I subconsciously felt happy.

“R-really? Those are presents for me?”

Even though I felt so hopeless just now, I couldn’t help but be happy now.

I rejoiced with a huge smile on my face.

“A-ahh. Of course. I was thinking of giving something to you…”

“I’m so happy! Thank you so much! Love you!”

I hugged him without thinking.

“Tsk…! No, I’m glad.”

I could see Caesar blushing for a moment there.

I was surprised and a little flustered.

When I was a child, Harris did the same thing, he bought books and sweets as gifts for me.

I was so happy that I forgot, but above this not being our room, we’re in public…

“There he is! Captain Caesar! There’s a dispute going on in the opposite direction!”

The knight who rolled up the tent called Caesar.

On a day like this, it seems like there are not only exciting things but also troublesome things.

“Ahh, I’m going now. Royford! Charge it to my house.”

“Alright~”

As Caesar waved his hand to Royford in acknowledgment, he followed the knight and left the tent.
