Jikuu Mahou chapter 385: The weight of debt
The President almost did the whole procedure of giving a Japanese sword to me.
I didn't think that I needed such a troublesome procedure for the possession of a Japanese sword.
「Nii-chan, you got a great sword, didn't you? Show me!」
Aya wants to see the Japanese sword while jumping around happily. Just don't let her touch it.
「Not good!」
I quickly put it in my inventory.
「Nii-chan is stingy! It's not going to decrease. It's a little better! Hey, just go ahead～」
It's fun to look ahead.
「Go ahead!」
「Mou, Nii-chan, you are opinionated. You don't like girls!」
If I'm popular with a girl only by showing it, I'll show it how much is needed.
「By the way Nii-chan, what are you going to do?」
「What do you mean?」
「Are you going to fight with that sword?」
「I'm not going to use it! It's a national treasure!」
「Then, you just keep it?」
Umm, that's too wasteful～.
「Then, you want to show it to Masamune」
「That sounds good! Comparing notes to see what Masamune thinks about it」
～～～～～～～～～～
Next Saturday, Aya, Elena, Hilda and I went out for a moment to Masamune's place.
「Hello～」
「Ou, Seiji. Do you want to reforge your sword again?」
Masamune, the last time I let him reforge my sword, he was dying as he worked for ten days non-stop, I wonder if he has already forgotten about it.
「Today, I got something I wanted to show to Masamune」
「What?」
「This」
I took out the Japanese sword with its sheath and pulled it out.
「Unaa!」
Masamune raised a strange voice and solidified.
「...... Wh, What's this!?」
After a while, Masamune who finally recovered from his frozen state had been staring at it so as not to touch the Japanese sword.
「It is a sword obtained from a friend. I thought you'd like to see it」
However, Masamune didn't listen to my story at all.
「400 years, no, 500 years have passed!? Moreover, this is made without the use of magic technology at all!? And this is steel! In spite of this, such a beauty, for such a long period of time, it has continued to be taken care of without fail!」
Do you know just by looking at it, Masamune?
-----
It's been almost an hour.
All the while, Masamune sees the Japanese sword from various angles.
Aya got bored and took Elena and Hilda and went outside to play.
「Emm～, How long are you going to watch?」
「Aa～, just a little bit」
He's like a kid who's got a new toy.
-----
I have nothing to do, and I'm just waiting for Masamune's attention.
Tontonton.
The vibrations of something.......
What is this? Oh, yes, it is the vibration of the twin magic stone which I got from Laila. Do you have something to do?
「Masamune-san, I've done some errands」
「Ah, yes」
Masamune makes an empty answer.
Well, he'll be fine for a little while. I moved to Laila's place.
----------
「Laila, let's make a stride. What do you want?」
「Se, Seiji, you're here!」
Laila has her cheeks blushed and fidgets shyly. What? Did I just come when she was about to go to the bathroom? Let's finish this conversation quickly.
「So, what is it?」
「A, uh....... The king said he wanted to see Seiji, so I was asked to call you」
「I see, I'll go after this」
When she had enough sense to go to the restroom, and I was going to return immediately, Laila pulled the hem of my clothes.
「Wa, Wait」
「Hmm? What is?」
「I, I'm going, too」
「To the king?」
「Yes」
She wants to go to the castle bathroom.
----------
I took Laila and returned to Masamune's place. Masamune is still gazing at my sword and doesn't realize that I'm back.
「Ah, Nii-chan is back. There's Laila」
As usual, Aya and Laila aren't close.
「The king wants me to come because he has something to do」
「Father?」
He's the father to Elena～.
「So, Masamune-san. I'll go home soon, so I'll get my sword already～」
「Hua! Wa, wait, just a little more」
「I've heard that before」
I ignored Masamune and put the Japanese sword back in the inventory.
「Ah...... 」
Masamune was taken aback and was disappointed that his toy vanished. Indeed, I can't afford to lend this.
-----
I took everyone to the King's Place.
The destination is between the audience of the castle.
The king is surprised at the sudden appearance of us. And, only Laila knees down to the king.
「E, Elena! You finally came back!」
The king found Elena among us who appeared suddenly, stood up from the chair between the audience and hugged her.
Elena had a troubled face, so I forcibly tore the king off.
「Hey Seiji! What are you doing!」
「That's my line. Until the debt was repaid, Elena wouldn't return and stay with me」
「Huhahaha. It is only now because of that that I can talk like that」
The King laughs fearless.
「By any chance, was the prospect of debt repayment?」
「Exactly!」
Is it because of such a thing that you purposely called me?
The king commanded his men to carry many crates.
「200 million gold...... 」
When I counted, there were 200 million gold coins.
「The debt is solved. I'll get Elena back」
「Hmm? Wait a minute!! 200 million gold is missing」
「Wh, What is it～?」
The King is shocked. You're a fool, and you think you can deceive me?
200 million were lent, but the return should have been twice as much namely 400 million. I searched the video of the [Tracking beacon] at that time so that everyone can see and I played it greatly.
『I tell you to pay 200 million gold today』
『200 million!? Do it today!!? After the gold that the nobles who are sending troops is collected. No, still 200 million is very....... what happens if I can't collect it』
.......
『Emml, I have 200 million gold』
『Ha!? Do you have it? What do you mean?』
.......
『I'll pay back the doubled amount later. The deadline is 30 days』
『Un, Understood...... 』
※『Chapter 121: The weight of gold coins』A reference.
At the end of the film, the king took off his gaze.
「Did you remember? I'm sure you promised the doubled amount. And the original deadline is 30 days. 30 days is longer over right? If it's true, we're going to take the excess interest? The repayment deadline is now over ninety days. If you calculate this in...... the debt should be inflated to 1 billion gold. I'm too kind, so you only have to give me 400 million gold」
The King is trembling as he hears it.
He is getting sad a little. Well, he'll get what he sews.
The 200 million gold that the king prepared for me, I quickly put it in my inventory. The king managed to stand up with his trembling feet and approached Elena while smiling with a sorrowful expression.
「Elena...... I'm helpless. What kind of life are you doing now? Does that demon Seiji bullying you」
I'm the devil! I never bullied Elena.
「Father, feel safe. I live happily until now. Seiji-sama is very kind too」
Hey, look!
「Also, Aya and Hilda are there to」
「Aya was that Seiji's younger sister? And who is Hilda?」
「You didn't tell your father about Hilda yet」
Elena summoned Hilda.
「Hilda is my sister」
「King. It is my first time to see you. I'm Hi, Hilda-san」
Hilda introduced herself to the king.
「Elena...... , si, sister...... that...... 」
Hmm? The King's appearance.......
「I don't remember anything like that!」
Somehow, the king began to get angry.
