Chapter 131 - I'm Jealous of Nanapon's College Life

It seems the guild staff had a rough day yesterday because of that brat.

"What happened to him?"

"That’s why I came today. It was quite a scene. As soon as his parents arrived, they started hitting him and yelling at him. It was chaos."

Wow. I kind of wish I could have seen it, but it must have been tough for Yoshino-san and the others who were there.

"Hmm, well, I don’t really care."

"What do you want to do? You’re the victim, so we’ll leave the decision up to you."

"I’m not interested. You guys handle it."

I couldn’t care less about a brat like that.

"Alright. We’ll take care of it. By the way, his parents want to apologize to you..."

Not again.

"Give me a break. Tell them I don’t want to be involved. I don’t want to do anything else that doesn’t make me money."

"Understood. We’ll proceed with that in mind."

I was taught that if you do good things, good things will come back to you. Nothing but bad things have been happening, though.

"Is that all for this topic?"

"Yes. We’ll handle the rest. On another note, do you know that Claire’s auction is over?"

"Was it yesterday? She was in a really good mood when I saw her at noon."

For once, she didn’t complain about the ramen, and she even gave me her seasoned egg.

"It went for fifteen thousand dollars. That’s around two million yen."

Two million yen for something like that? I mean, the effect is amazing, but it wears off in twenty-four hours.

"Was it because of the novelty?"

"Probably. Your appearance on that TV show was great publicity. It’s being watched all over the world."

I went on the show to promote Item Bags, but it ended up promoting Translation Potions too.

"Well, as long as it made money, it’s fine. Headquarters is going to buy some too, right?"

"About that, two million yen is a bit..."

Well, it is expensive.

"How much?"

"500,000 yen..."

A quarter of the price.

"You’re really planning to charge 1 million and pocket 500,000, aren’t you."

"No, I’m planning to pocket 250,000... Nanapon, here’s some money, go do some shopping."

"No way! And what are you planning to do!?"

"You really are a cheap woman. Are you planning to sell your body for 250,000?"

I’m honestly shocked.

"I wouldn’t go that far! It’s just a little adult discussion!"

"Then it should be fine if I’m here, right?"

"...It might be a bit much for a child."

"Ugh... that’s a turn-off..."

Nanapon is completely grossed out. I’m a little grossed out myself.

"Fine, 500,000 is fine. You don’t need that many anyway, right?"

"Right! Five it is!"

Yoshino-san’s face lit up with a huge smile.

"Five, huh..."

My profit is 2.5 million yen, and Yoshino-san gets half of that, 1.25 million. Yoshino is taking quite a bit, but I never planned on making much money from Translation Potions anyway, and if I can’t sell many, I don’t really care. 2.5 million is pocket change.

"Then, sign here."

Yoshino-san took out a document and a pen and prompted me to write.

"You’re not in your killer outfit today."

No cleavage-baring today, huh.

"It’s Saturday, so I’m off today."

"So this doesn’t count as working on a holiday?"

"No, I’m getting paid for it."

If I were as shameless as her, I probably wouldn’t have gotten sick at my old job.

As I thought about how I envied Yoshino-san, but also how I could never be like her, I signed "Eleanor Ocean" on the document.

"There, there, you can touch my boobs if you want."

"Idiot. I’d do more than just touch them."

There’s no way I’d stop at just touching her boobs.

"Too bad, you’re a woman."

"Nanapon, can I change back to Okita-kun?"

"What am I about to be subjected to... No way. By the way, I’m telling Asakura-san right now."

"Idiot! Stop!"

I’m going to cry! Me!

"More importantly, the auction for the Level 3 Healing Potion has been approved."

Now is not the time for that!

"Nanaka-san, come over here."

I ignored Yoshino-san and beckoned to Nanapon, who was fiddling with her phone on the sofa.

"That smile is scary... I’m just kidding."

Nanapon seems a little creeped out.

"Just kidding, huh... Good. I was about to snap your phone in half."

"I said it’s scary... and please change back to Eleanor-san."

Nanapon is really creeped out.

"Don’t you dare tell Kaede-chan. So, what about the auction?"

After warning Nanapon, I looked at Yoshino-san.

"I said the auction for the Level 3 Healing Potion has been approved."

Finally, the main event.

"I wonder how much it will go for."

"Who knows? I really can’t say for this one."

Apparently, none have been found in the last few years.

"I’ll look forward to it."

"Yeah. What about adventuring?"

Adventuring, huh. Of course there's Nanapon, but adventuring with Yoshino-san and Lin-san is fun, and I want to level up.

"Hmm, with the auction coming up, I think I’ll talk to Satsuki-san first."

I might attract some strange attention again.

"I see... Well, let me know."

"Right. Tomorrow is Sunday, so I’ll go see Satsuki-san on Monday."

She seems busy, but I’ll have Kaede-chan make an appointment for me.

"Got it. Nanapon, you want to come adventuring with us too?"

Yoshino-san asked Nanapon.

"I’ll think about it. I need to go to university for a bit."

"You’ve been skipping too much."

Is she going to be okay?

"The university told me that too. And my mom got mad at me."

Of course they did. Even if you cheat, if you don’t attend classes, you’ll fail your courses and have to repeat a year.
