The Reincarnated Saint Aims For The Friendship End!

An official came, so I handed over Dwango.

The bounty was 500,000 dolancs.

Yatta.

“Dulcie, is it okay if we divide the bounty money equally?” I asked.

“Eh… Makoto-sama, please take it all,” Dulcie replied.

“No, we defeated him together, so split it up,” I said.

I smiled and Dulcie looked confused.

I don’t know why, but Anne-san was smiling with an expression going, “Umu.”

It seems that the bounty money can be received at the headquarters of the Order of Peace tomorrow.

I’ll have Dulcie fetch it for me.

“Dulcie, well done, you’re so strong,” Anne said.

“No, I’m a defensive type, so I’m not good at offensive missions,” Dulcie said, blushing a little and looking embarrassed.

Cute.

I stretched up a little and patted Dulcie’s head.

Dulcie stares wide-eyed at my affection.

“Iiko-iiko,” I said.

“Ah, um, thank you very much…”

Anne-san is still looking at me and Dulcie with a smile.

The three of us wandered around downtown and entered a cafe that looked good.

It’s pretty nice, and the price is reasonable.

The two intelligence maids seem to have gone into hiding somewhere again, and I can’t see them.

“Give me the lunch set B,” I said.

“I, I’ll take C,” Corinna said.

“I’ll also take the B set,” Carol said.

""

The lunch plate was pork saute for A, chicken for B, and fish for C.

Even if I say fish, it’s a river fish because the sea is far away.

Mogyu-mogyu, ah, this place is good.

They season them very well.

“Delicious, isn’t it?” Carol said.

“Why are you sinking, Corinna-chan?” I asked.

“I get depressed when I spend a lot of money…” Corinna replied.

“I will make you a lot of money,” I said.

“Do you want me to pay?” Carol asked. “You have helped me with various things such as the ledger, Corinna.”

“It-It’s fine, that’s a Yoriko’s duty, so I’ll pay for myself,” Corinna said.

“It’s a yoroshi’s duty to treat their yoriko, but it’s fine if you feel sorry for me, Corinna,” Carol said.

After all, the sense of money is different depending on birth and upbringing.

Maybe it’s because Carol has been earning money since she was a child, so she doesn’t seem to have any resistance to spending it.

Since Corinna-chan only had a small amount of pocket money, it seems she doesn’t like spending money.

I had a part-time job in my previous life, and I lived alone, so I don’t spend money unnecessarily, but I can afford to pay for things I need.

“After we eat, I’m going to the slums, but what about the two of you?” I asked.

“The slums? What are you going to do?” Corinna asked.

“I’m thinking of going to ask the Oyaji who seems to be the head of the slums about the bounty that someone put on me and Carol,” I replied.

“Well, House Pottinger is involved, too, so I’m coming with,” Carol said.

“I suppose it can’t be helped, if I go out with you, Makoto, we’ll end up going places I’ve never been before,” Corinna said.

“Thank you, Carol, Corinna-chan,” I said.

Yoshi-yoshi, let’s eat lunch quickly.

After eating, we head to the slums.

The slums aren’t within the royal capital.

It’s outside the walls.

Inside the high walls surrounding the royal capital, no matter how poor the area is, it’s a downtown area.

The slums are outside the royal capital, and various public services are inadequate.

Poor people from all over Appleton come to the royal capital to make a name for themselves, and when their dreams are broken, they become residents of the slums.

As the outer garden city of the royal capital, it has spread considerably.

Go to the east gate of the royal capital and present the adventurer’s guild card.

Since Corinna-chan doesn’t have a guild card, they’ll ask her to provide other documents.

“Is it okay for three school kids to go to a slum? It’s much worse than you think,” a middle-aged guard with a large build warned us.

“Thank you, but I do well enough with the temple’s work,” I said.

“Ah, someone from the temple, you said? Then you should be fine. Itterasyhai,” he said, sending us off.

The area immediately outside the gate is already the slums.

It smells so bad.

It smells of pee and rotten garbage.

“It stinks,” Carol said.

“It stinks,” Corinna said.

“Is this your first time in the slums, Carol or Corinna?” I asked.

“I’ve never needed to be here,” Carol said.

“It’s not a place I want to come to much,” Corinna said.

The three of us walk down a dirty alley.

The lowly paupers look at us and grin.

“Oh, Ojou-chan-tachi, lookie here…”

“What is it? I’m going to beat it out of you,” I said.

The poor Nii-chans smiled wryly.

“Ah, it’s the Holy Seijo-sama, I’m so sorry,” Nii-chan said.

“You’re not with the Temple Knights today, are you?”

“I came to see the Oyaji, where is he?” I asked.

“At this time, of day, it’s probably at the Keikan-Tei, isn’t it?”

“Has he been drinking since noon again, that Oyaji?” I asked.

“He’ll be happy to hear the Seijo-sama has come. Oyaji loves you, Seijo-sama.”

“I hate that Oyaji, though,” I said.

Talking to the paupers was useless.

As we were walking, Anne and Dulcie appeared.

I feel like they can’t escort me if they don’t show up soon.

In the middle of the eastern slum is Keikan-Tei.

It’s a dirty, dingy, smelly tavern.

When you open the swinging doors like a Western movie, it’s full of bad guys.

“What the hell, this is no place for little brats like you…”

The macho man who tried to accost us was kicked away by the Oyaji who came up from behind him.

“It’s Seijo-sama, dumbass,” Oyaji said. “So if it isn’t you, Seijou-sama, how are you today?”

“As usual, the slums are dirty and smelly,” I said.

“Well, you are in the slums, right? Kakaka,” Oyaji cackled.

This middle-aged man is the Oyaji we’re looking for.

He organizes the eastern slums.

He’s shirtless and drunk.

There are scars running all over his naked back and stomach.

“Oyaji, just now, Carol and I were attacked by a bounty hunter, do you know anything?”

“Someone attacking Seijou-sama, you say…” Oyaji said.

A cold look popped up in Oyaji’s eyes.

Hmm, at this point, Oyaji doesn’t seem to know.
