Bid farewell to the cold snowy days, but it's the rainy season again. Although it won't rain heavily, the lingering raindrops in the sky are still kissing passers-by and causing people endless troubles.
It's already half past nine in the morning, and there is still silence in a certain room behind a shop on the edge of Rika Town. In this room, the curtains are tightly drawn, blocking the little light outside, making it dark and silent. The room is not large in size, and there are not many furnishings in the room, with white walls, white ceiling, and simple floor tiles.
The big furnishings are just a bed, a single bed, and a simple clothes hanger beside the bed.
At this moment, on the single bed placed against the wall, a young man was facing in, soundly asleep. He seemed to be sleeping soundly, and he murmured to himself from time to time.
The thin quilt covering him was printed with countless small animals, either angry or laughing, very cute. The protagonist in the center was Crayon Shin-chan and his puppy. It was quite funny to cover a young man.
This is the only thin quilt Romon can find in the space, because it has suddenly become a bit hot and stuffy these days, and he fell ill after practicing swordplay in the rain yesterday.
He was closely monitored by Nick and others, and he was prohibited from practicing again until his condition was completely recovered.
Druid's Healing Spell can treat wounds, but it is ineffective against this type of cold. There are also spells to treat such diseases, but those are the privileges of priests. Romon didn't want to go to Temple, so he had to drink simple medicine and wait for recovery.
And because he had just passed the winter, the quilts Romon could find were relatively thick. After drinking the medicine, he was sweating all over, so he had to find this thin quilt from the space.
In that world at that time, in order to rush to a remote place in Tibet, he hurriedly asked someone to buy him a cold-proof bedding. As a result, the other person got into a mischief and randomly bought him such a childlike one.
When he found out afterwards, he could only smile bitterly. Unexpectedly, when he came here from that world, this prank quilt came with him. And those friends who pranked him would never be seen again in his lifetime.
When he first took out this quilt, it aroused the curiosity of Nick and others. However, fortunately, people in this world did not know Shin-chan Shiro. They only thought that this quilt had bright colors and cute patterns, and it matched his identity as a young man.
If he were his former friends, they would laugh to death knowing that he actually covered himself with such a quilt. Unfortunately, he will never see them again...
After feeling sad, it's time to sleep in the dark.
Romon has been sleeping soundly since yesterday afternoon until now. But at this moment, a cry of surprise came from the next door. The sleeping person frowned, turned over, pulled up the quilt, and continued to sleep.
Another burst of muttering sounded. Because the speaker was next door and the wall was not too thick, all those sounds got into Romon's ears.
"These two guys!" Seeing that the other party didn't seem to give up until they woke him up, Romon finally opened his eyes helplessly, sighed, and then jumped off the bed.
When folding the quilt, when he saw the pattern of the quilt, Romon twitched the corner of his mouth, shook his head with a wry smile, and then folded it honestly and put it neatly.
Until he got dressed and walked out of the room, he was still in a state of half-asleep and half-awake.
"Good morning, Romon." The two people who were talking greeted him.
"Hello, Nick, Fafier." Romon also said hello.
He walked into a room that was smaller than the one he just walked into, only about seven or eight square meters. The furnishings in the room were also very simple. Apart from a set of tables and chairs, and a small sturdy cabinet, there was nothing else.
There are two doors in the room, two at the front and back. One door is connected to the lobby outside, and the other door is connected to the back, where he sleeps.
The walls of the room are snow white, and in a vase on the table, a bouquet of flowers is exuding a charming fragrance.
At this time, because it was raining outside, no customers came to the door, so Nick, the store manager, did not stay outside, but stayed in the room that Romon affectionately called the store manager's office.
There is a ledger on the table.
The account book was now open to the last page, with an astonishing number written on it in a childish handwriting.
The existence of a pile of silver coins seemed to confirm the authenticity of the numbers. They were piled in a large box, shining with an alluring light.
Silver coins. A pile of silver coins. A pile of silver coins.
In front of this box, there were three teenagers standing. One was tall and tall, the other was tall and tall, and the other had a slightly pale face. It was a sickly white color.
The three people looked at the pile of silver coins in the box with intense eyes. For a while, no one said anything.
"Nick, please do the calculation again, are there really so many silver coins in a month?" Fafier paused for a while and suddenly said. This is the tenth time he has asked the question after getting the exact number.
Nick gave him an idiot look and said, "Idiot, does this still matter? One thousand two hundred silver coins are right in front of you, and you don't know how to use your eyes to see it."
"But, I don't believe my eyes!" With a silly smile, Fafier scratched his head. Then, he turned to Romon and said, "Romon, is it appropriate for me to hold this money?"
Recently, he has been busy studying martial arts, so Fafier has not come to the pharmacy many times. Although the pile of silver coins in front of him almost dazzled his eyes, as a kind person, he still felt that he should not take so much money.
Romon also roughly understood the situation at this time. His boss was really incompetent, and he even forgot that today is the day for the end-of-month summary. The exclamation just now was made by Fafier, because Nick reported an astonishing number, so it shocked him.
He patted Fafier on the shoulder with a smile, and Romon said, "Didn't I tell you last month and the month before that? You also contributed a share of the money to open the store, so the profits from the store should naturally be yours, and you don't want your mother-in-law's. You are such an adult, and you are still acting like a little girl, coquettishly, what do you look like?"
The Fafier he said also contributed a share of the money refers to the incident involving Thieves' Guild. At that time, the two people worked together to earn the spoils. Although Romon also gave Fafier some money afterwards, most of it was still taken by Romon.
Romon and Fafier mentioned that there was still some money in the loot, which could be used as their initial accumulation when opening a store in the future. Fafier just laughed at that time and did not take it seriously.
Now, Romon has opened a pharmacy, and as expected, he has given 20% of the profit to Fafier, which can be regarded as fulfilling the promise at the time.
And Fafier always felt that he had taken a lot at that time, so he always felt that he was a little guilty of taking the 20% profit. The two people had discussed this matter more than once. Fafier took the share of the first two times.
However, because the income of the pharmacy was not too high at that time, Fafier felt that it was okay to accept it. However, this month, Romon's Potion Shop was almost making a fortune every day, and if the 20% profit was divided, it would be two hundred and forty shining silver coins!
This is equivalent to the annual income of a medium-sized town citizen. Therefore, while Fafier lamented the high income of the pharmacy, he also felt that the money was a bit hot to hold.
However, Romon's laughter and scolding made him blush. Yes, a person who has experienced life and death is still so fussy about money. She is indeed a mother-in-law. So, he nodded and no longer hesitated.
Use three bags to put the divided silver coins in them, and then hand two of the bags to Nick and Fafier respectively. Romon had strong confidence on his face. "Let's work together. In the future, our income will be more and more."
"Yeah! Let's work together!" The hands of the three good friends instantly covered each other.
Today is the day when the salary is paid. Romon handed the small bag of silver coins to Luo Laike who was working outside. Luo Laike took the money bag and was silent for a moment. Then, without saying anything, he continued to work.
Romon sighed secretly, this boy was actually very smart, but it was a pity that he ended up like this due to family reasons.
Shaking his head, Romon turned around and returned to his room.
At this moment, Luo Laike, who had been working with his head down for a while, suddenly raised his head. He looked at Romon's back with a complicated expression on his face.
"Romon, you are recovering from your illness, please practice less." In the forest, Fafier kept advising.
However, Romon, who had not practiced for two days, seemed to be revitalized on this afternoon after the rain, and used the sword in his hand to beat the cold wind.
After hearing Fafier's words, he wiped the sweat from his head, put away his sword posture, and then sat next to Fafier.
"Did Nick tell you? The tax officer came to make trouble again this morning. I heard that this time he suspected our store of tax evasion and wanted to review our financial books." Fafier said.
"Nick said it." Romon got angry when he thought about it.
"It's strange, he seems to be very arrogant recently, and he seems to have some basis for it." Romon didn't know about the lord's incident, so he was very annoyed by the tax officer's recent provocations and felt strange.
He pays one-fifth of the tax every month, which is a lot of money. Moreover, he is already Second-Level Druid. In the foreseeable future, he will become stronger. This person has no power at all like a tax officer. Even if he is from a noble family and is an official, he shouldn't be so arrogant, right?
"However, even if he is really arrogant, I am not afraid of him."
Romon's current information is very limited, and he has no idea about the tax officer's actions. However, after the store has made a lot of money and his influence among adventurers has expanded, Romon has already made a plan to kill the tax officer within these few days.
In fact, when he took away Thieves' Guild last time, he already had some criminal evidence about the tax collector and the priest.
However, the evidence is not comprehensive, and if this evidence is used to convict the criminal, the criminal will be fined at most. No matter how serious it is, it will only be deprived of the existing official position. However, in this world, even the territory is privately owned. Depending on the relationship with the lord, even if it is deprived of it for a while, he will be in office again in a few days. This is of course not what Romon wants to achieve.
If you want to take action, you must make the other party irrecoverable.
