“Goodbye lady, I hope you have a safe trip!”

 

The owner of the store bowed his head and said loudly as he saw me off to my carriage. After greeting him back, I got into the carriage.

Instead of a lighter bag, there were a total of nine small bags of 50 gold coins in a heavy bag.

So, a hexagonal platinum ring was worth 100 gold per piece. So 1 ring was of 100 gold coins, so the money in the bag was 950 gold in total.

As a result, the owner added 300 more gold coins. In Korea, it would be 30 million won. But He tried to scam me so I’ll make sure to report it……

I thought about it for a while, but I stopped thinking about it.

Anyway, I got the fair price and got a huge amount of 950 gold coins.

 

‘So now What am I going to do with this money? I’m going to buy some groceries and daily necessities, repair the crumbling orphanage, oh and I’m going to buy some clothes for the kids. Because I saw the clothes they were wearing, they looked too big for a child’s body. And……’

 

I was lost in my thoughts. As the list increased, the gold coin’s bag felt lighter.

A large amount of 90 million won came in, that meant there were so many things where Sielra wasted the money on.

 

I let out a sigh. After I sell some of my dresses, I will have some money left so now I need to think about how to live with that money.

 

‘But it will only be for a limited time then it will be finished.’

 

I couldn’t go out and work and the amount was limited, and the money will be used for daily essentials every day.

Starting with the children’s food expenses, they have to change their clothes because they’ll grow day by day, and if they’re sick, we would have to take them to the doctor.

They said that raising a child usually costs 100 million won, but since there are a total of five children in the orphanage, it will cost 500 million won.

 

“We’ve arrived at the market.”

 

At the moment when I was sighing with my endless worries, I heard the coachman’s voice that we had arrived at the market.

Again, the door opened and the driver reached out awkwardly, but I ignored it and got off.

I made sure that I didn’t lose my gold coin’s bag and looked around. A small exclamation burst out.

The size of the market was enormous.

 

“We sell the prettiest Pendants resembling mermaid tears.”

 

“We sell the cotton candy that kids love the most!”

 

“We sell the tastiest apples in the world!”

 

I heard the screams from all over the place.

I stared blankly at the sight of the market, forgetting for a moment that the coachman was there.

It was the first time in my life seeing so many people gathered. But it didn’t feel crowded. As there were many people going, there was still a large space left to walk around, so for some reason it felt lonely.

However, I was embarrassed for a while because it was my first time doing something like that.

 

“Lady?”

 

I stood still doing nothing, and shook my head, the coachman spoke.

 

“It’s nothing. waiting for me until I come back.”

 

“All right.”

 

Once more I checked the existence of the bag of coins in my pocket and moved into the market.

First, I had to sell my clothes.

But,Where should I go to sell clothes? For a moment a clothes store caught my eye, but I shook my head.

In the novel, “the Indelible Scar,” that clothes store was a store for aristocrats, and only clothes made by the chief designers were solded thoroughly.

 

No matter how expensive Sielra’s dress was, there was no way I couldn’t afford to buy second-hand clothes from here.

Rather, I’d be lucky if I didn’t get kicked out after being ridiculed.

Taking my eyes off that store, I wandered around the market. I saw another shop that caught my eye.

 

[pawnshop］

 

It was a pawnshop. The dress I wanted to sell right now was rather difficult.

There was no place to sell them because no clothing store would buy a used dress, who makes clothes for aristocrats, and commoners wouldn’t buy it .

So why don’t I just sell it here. Not only I will get money right away, but I can also get the stuff I sell back just in case.

After thinking for a while, I decided to enter the pawnshop.

 

inside The pawnshop, there was all sorts of things there. As I looked around in wonder, I heard a voice.

“Welcome,is there anything you want to sell?”

 

“ah yes, i want to sell some dresses……”

 

I hurried inside and unpacked my dress in front of the old man.

The old man wore glasses and carefully examined the dresses.

But soon he took off his glasses and shook his head.

 

“I’m sorry, we can’t afford to buy these.”

 

“Wait What? Why?”

 

It was the answer I never expected, when I asked him back the old man replied, touching the lining of the dress with his hand.

“because, The luxurious outer and inner linings look like the clothes worn by aristocratic ladies, but sometimes some aristocrats come to the pawnshop to sell some dresses. but our pawnshop can’t match the price for this kind of dress, so you can look elsewhere sorry.”

 

“Oh……”

 

In fact, I expected it to be difficult to sell this dress, but I was very disappointed that it happened like this.

As I packed the dress with a sullen face, the old man who was looking at it said in a low voice.

 

“I think you can go to the fabric’s dealer.”

 

“Fabric’s dealer……？”

 

When I blinked at the unfamiliar name, the old man reached out his hand out of the window and said.

 

“If you go into that alley, you’ll find a Fabric dealer called Clover Fabrics. If you take off some fabric from that dress and give it to her i think she might give you some money. since it is a place that only deals with fabrics, so it won’t be worth the price of that dress, but would it be okay?”

 

The old man looked at me. He seemed to think that I’d be dissatisfied.

But if I can sell something that’s hard to sell, then off to that shop.

I nodded my head.

 

“Yes, I’m fine with it. Please tell me the way to the shop.”

 

***

 

As I left the pawnshop and walked along with the map drawn by the old man, I came to the alley. There were very few people here.

 

In the map it’s here……but I couldn’t find the store on the map here, so I looked around and found a small store a little further away from here.

Recognizing that it was the store on the map, I approached it quickly.

 

[Clover Fabrics］

 

“Clover Fabrics…….”

 

It was the same name as the old man said.

 

By the way……

 

I shook my head. In a place where rarely anyone comes, I don’t think that anyone would open a store in a place like this? Let’s hope that I am in the right place…..

 

I felt a little uneasy, but I couldn’t back down now, so I carefully opened the door and went in.

 

“I’m thrilled……”

 

“Welcome to the store lady.”

 

As soon as I entered, a woman who was organizing the fabrics came to me with a welcoming and friendly face.

 

“I came here to sell my clothes. Would it be possible?”

 

“Well, we only deal with fabrics. So I will disassemble and set the price of the fabric, would that be okay with you?”

 

“Yes, I’m okay with it.”

 

I knew it already, so I had nothing to worry about.

I nodded without hesitation and the woman who smiled said.

 

“Then can you show me the clothes you bought?”

 

“Here you go.”

 

I spread out a bundle of dresses and showed it to her. I was feeling proud that they were all high-quality products without a scratch.

 

The woman’s eyes twinkled at the dresses. She murmured, carefully examining the dress.

 

“They’re all from fancy boutiques stores. This dress is from Mariana’s dressing store, and this dress is from Kadallina’s dressing store. Oh my, these dresses are no longer available anymore, are you really going to sell them? I wouldn’t be able to give you the closest price of the original price.

 

To be honest, I didn’t know that Sielra’s overexposed dress was a limited edition one. But Still, I nodded firmly.

 

“Yes, I’m alright. I want to sell them all.”

 

“Alright then, I think We can hit at least 10 gold coins for this much. We can give you up to 15 golds for this dress that is no longer available. How do you feel about my prices, is it okay?”

 

 

At the woman’s words, I barely grabbed my jaw that was about to open wide. The dresses I brought with me were about 10.

But if I get at least 10 gold coins for each piece, then I could get at least 100 gold coins for these 10 dresses!

 

“Well, that much…….”

 

I bit my lips while talking. They say that if someone is paying a lot, it’s better not to add unnecessary comments.

 

By the way.

 

‘You’re really out of your mind!’

 

If I only sell the fabric, what would be the actual price for this? I was shocked several times today by the luxurious things Sielra owned.

 

Anyway, I nodded.

 

“Then please do that.”

 

” Yes, Thank you. Please wait here for a moment.”

 

The smiling woman went inside with the dress in her arms.

I sighed as I calculated the money that was about to come into my hands after I finished packing the empty bag.

 

‘Anyways, for now there won’t be a problem for a while.’

 

I hope it’s enough for a while? I hope this can be enough for a few years?

 

I was feeling a little relieved. As soon as I felt relieved, I began to see the things around the store.

I looked around the store for a while, while the woman was preparing the money.

 

‘It’s fascinating.’

 

This store seemed to sell clothes as well as the fabrics. Not as beautiful as the dress I sold, but there were enough beautiful dresses on display.

 

Then, there was something that caught my eye.

 

“All the clothes here are made by me.”

 

As I stared blankly at it, the woman approached me and talked to me about when she came back.

When I looked at her in surprise, the smiling woman handed me a bag.

 

“Here, it’s 164 gold coins in total.”

After Hearing the amount, I closed my lips that were about to open and checked inside my pocket. One rune and 64 gold coins. Exactly.

 

“I am done checking. Thank you.”

 

“I’m glad. By the way, you must be interested in children’s clothes. Do you happen to have a child?”

 

The woman asked, looking at the children’s clothes I had been seeing all along.

When I thought of the children in the orphanage for a while, I replied with a gentle smile.

 

“Yes, for five children.”
