Duke, Please Repent! chapter 231

43. The Duke and the Demon of Darkness (6)

The door, which had been closed with a bang as the customer ran out, opened again before the sound had disappeared.

“Who is that person?”

The new entrant immediately asked a question and closed the store.

He was wearing a deep black hood

However, it was immediately recognized by his voice that he was a serpent.

I’m just a guest.

In response to my cheerful reply, Serpens walked on the hood, and asked why the customer was running while crying.

I wish Serpens had come a little sooner.

“Did something happen again?”

I heard the guy’s question translated to mean ‘Have you ever had an accident?’

He said he believed in me, and he believed in me at all.

It wasn’t a human attitude.

However, if you catch the pods, the same words as last time, ‘I have no doubt that you will have an accident’ are sure to come back.

Don’t hurt yourself by touching it, and pretend you don’t know.

“The customer who just left left this with me. But there is no one who can evaluate jewelry . Serpence knows how to look at jewelry, right?”

“To some extent.”

Serpens spoke softly, as if nothing had happened, and held out his hand.

To say this guy like that means he’s at the level of an expert. I coldly put the brooch on the palm of his hand.

How do you feel? It’s a fake, right? He tried to get 280 of this, but he caught me.

Hmm… .

Whether or not I was joking around, Serpens looked closely at the brooch, turning it around and shining it into the light.

Expert force flows.

It’s not the best, Jimin 一, it’s a prize

A ruby of the same rank.

Yeah? It’s strange. Did the guy who left it say it?

It’s not badly maintained, and the jewelry and metal frame work is pretty good. It doesn’t look like it was touched by a Dwarf, but it’s the work of a human Jing-in with considerable skills.

Is this real?

okay.

I leaned back to the hood I was wearing because of the customer, and looked closely at the brooch in his hand.

Looking back, I don’t know.

‘It’s been like that since I saw the god Seongseok made by Serpence the other day… ?’

I didn’t feel any pink.

“How much is this?”

“If you look at the auction price, I think it will be traded between 3 million and 4 million. Considering that this place is a pawnshop, if you set the price .. at least 2.5 million?”

“No, why did that child leave after receiving 150,000 ass while entrusting him with this?”

Serpens didn’t say anything.

all.

They just look at me like a thief.

“Why are you looking at me like that?”

Ask your conscience.

Saying so, Serpens took my hand and placed it on my left chest.

Because that kid said it was a fake with his own mouth?

“You must have driven it like that.”

It’s not?

“Be a little more calm about your actions.

Why not take some time to reflect?”

When I think about it, it seems that things went that way.

When I asked Eugenes and Winston, I meant to ask what they look like, not if they are real.

The answer to the question of whether it’s real is that I don’t know, so it sounds like I said it’s not real.

‘My scary brother and sister threatened their lives and told me it was fake, so I had no choice but to nod my head!’

It’s enough for the customer to run away crying

I understand.

As I nodded with that thought in mind, Serpens moved my hand to the opposite chest.

” what are you doing?”

Looking at his face, it seems that he doesn’t have a conscience there…?

Aww! Our duke, you’re done with mischief!

It doesn’t seem like it’s here either.

Serpens, who had given up on finding a conscience, removed my hand that had rested on my chest and placed a brooch on it.

I left the 3 million dollar bill with 150,000 Ars, so I’ll come back soon. Keep it separate.

Preload!

I tucked the ruby brooch into my subspace pocket.

Next time we meet, I must explain and apologize.

“Still, umm well done.”

Yes? What?

Since we hit the price like that, if there were rumors, no one would come?

However, it’s not bad in the end.

I mean, if I had opened a real pawnshop, I would have rolled it up.

Serpens decided that no more customers would come, so he locked the shop door altogether.

Then let’s even clean the warehouse!

Even?

Do you think we were just looking at the store without doing anything?

Serpens expressed his doubts.

What do you do when you just sit blankly? Put it away quickly and roll around

is better Now, Serpence is here too, so let’s help! Everyone go, go!

I took the broom out of the subspace pocket, put it in Serpens’ hand, and headed to the warehouse.

I didn’t forget the broom of the store, which stood at an angle at the entrance of the warehouse, and I took it with me.

Me and Serpens with broomsticks swept the floor, while Eugesie and Winston moved the cabinets that had leftover teeth to the edge.

Serpence was the first to use the brush, so he carefully looked at my actions.

He swept the floor vigorously.

He swept the same spot over and over again with a will not to leave a single speck of dust on the floor.

It puts a smile on my face as a child who has just entered elementary school and is brushing hair for the first time after school.

“By the way, what are you going to do with Euges?”

“What do you mean?”

“A bed, there must be a room the owner used here, wouldn’t it be more comfortable to sleep there?”

Well? The room that such a person used is that

Because I don’t want to use it… .

Eugene, who moved the last cabinet, leaned his back against it and gave a worried expression.

I understand. When I heard that I also had to use the former aide’s room after my death, it was no joke.

‘By the way, my room was cleaned by the maids.’

Did a guy who lives in a place like this sleep there knowing what he was doing alone in his room?

I don’t like it either

If only three minutes are not uncomfortable

I want to sleep here too, is it okay?

yo. This?

I’m fine, so will Serpence… Winston?

It doesn’t matter as long as Eugenes-sama isn’t uncomfortable.

Despite my promise, Euges looked at Serpens with concern.

Serpens received the attention, returned the broom to me and nodded at her.

Only after confirming the appearance, Eugese thanked us.

Then the cleaning is over and it’s decided that everyone will sleep here, so let’s take out what we’re going to put out in advance, right?

Actually, I’ve been waiting for this time now.

The moment when Eugene and Winston pulled out the bed and Serpense’s nose was flattened.

He has to realize that I wasn’t the one who was really lacking common sense 1, who was talking about common sense on a fictional day.

‘There is a subspace pocket that can be carried on the bed!’

Carrying a sleeping bag in there means voice calls and

It’s like using only text messages.

I can’t believe that a serpent my age could be such an analog human being.

Ah, true! Sion, did you bring your sleeping bag?

Yes? Spit, what?

Of course! Knowing that, I even bought Zion’s stuff.

Eugene smiled triumphantly and pulled out two sleeping bags from his pocket.

Euges, I’m disappointed.

Ah… did I do something wrong?

yo. This? It’s not that Zion looks insignificant or anything like that, it’s because there seems to be a corner where he’s a little fussy… .

It’s not like that. I’m very grateful for your caring for me, but…!

Thinking about it, maybe it was normal.

There is a fact that I overlooked, but after getting the subspace pouch in [Master of the Holy Sword], the main character and party still insisted on sleeping bags.

I wonder why you don’t carry a bed with you in terms of that gong

Let go and forget it!’

One filial piety that has not yet been fully used has been blown away.

“I did I do something wrong?”

No. It doesn’t take a day or two for Zion to behave abnormally, isn’t it? Don’t worry about it.

“Is that so?”

Yes, it is.

Serpens smiled and spoke to Yujis about my aphorism.

It’s like an ugly guy.

Winston? Did you bring it? The bed.

” you mean the wrong sleeping bag, didn’t you?”

Wow, really!! Everyone is disappointed!

Eugene and Winston were bewildered at my reaction.

In the meantime, Serpens alone quietly smiled the victor’s smile.

How could not one of them think of bringing a bed?! Serpence, though, I thought you two would have brought a bed!

Unless there is a verse in the Luxmea Doctrine that says that overnight stays must be done in a sleeping bag.

Maybe the two of them often sleep outdoors, so it might have become a habit to pack a sleeping bag every time?

It seems plausible. So, he must have never thought of the idea of bringing a bed.

It’s unusual for you to think of bringing a bed to a place like this.

No? Because this is a common idea?!

I don’t know, but readers of fantasy novels with subspace pockets must have questioned it at least once.

am.

‘Why don’t you put a bed in it even though it has a subspace pocket!’

It’s really incomprehensible.

If the current situation was being serialized as a novel like [Master of the Holy Sword], everyone would have left comments that sympathize with me.

All readers must have agreed that it is natural to carry a bed.

…Zion.

Serpens gently patted my back in pain alone.

When he raised his head to see if he could comfort him, he could see the victor’s smile on his face.

I was even more engulfed in a sense of defeat and turned away from that smile and lowered my head.

But did he even expect that?

As if waiting, Serpence’s palm was waiting there.

Oh, I see! I’ll give it to you on your own! Let’s not show it!

I grumble, the subspace of the problem

He pulled out two filial piety cards from his pocket and placed them on the palm of his hand.

…Wait, things are different.

Yes? Can you?

He looked closely at the shard of paper on his hand.

The word filial piety was written in large letters, and below it was written ‘I will filial piety’ in Serpens’ handwriting.

And his signature on the back.

It is undoubtedly the right to filial piety that Serpens gave me-.

“Is this right?”

. Isn’t that what you wrote and gave to me?

Yes?! If that’s the case, then I’ll be hyo, eup…!

He quickly covered my mouth. It’s completely become a habit.

I let him go once and then I removed his hand.

“If that was the case, it would have been given a different name, wouldn’t it?

I didn’t calculate this situation, but this time I’m going to put on a victor’s smile

It seemed it was his turn.

“The two of you always feel like that ?”

I turned my eyes away at the hoarse voice. We can see Winston covering his mouth with a hand that looks like a pot lid and slyly asking Eugenes a question.

He must have thought a lot about asking a question, and even now when he asked the question, his expression was not serious.

Isn’t that right? It seems like you’re taking a little more seriously because you’re in front of Winston-sama now.

“Are you uncomfortable?”

Oh, no! It isn’t.

Winston waved his hand and took a few steps back.

‘Do you think you are being bullied?’

In the future, I’ll have to add more conversations.

When I first saw him, I thought he was a chatter because he talks a lot.

At that time, I was so smitten by evil that I vomited out what was inside, so naturally, my words became longer.

Having been around him for a long time, I could see that he had a reticent personality.

But being reticent doesn’t mean it’s okay to look away.

‘How can Winston melt naturally, and Serpens can recognize him?’

I’ll have to think about it seriously.
