Plant Mage 22

I’m Thinking of Buying Land (8)

「I am very grateful for your concern. The world is full of people who think that receptionists are autonomous golems or something that must do whatever they say.」

I hand over my coins to the uncle, who’s telling me the dark side of the receptionist’s work.

After recounting the coins several times, the receptionist nodded his head.

「I’ll process your sales contract next…..I thought you were just a young boy. Who are you?」

「Hahaha….well, as you can see, I’m from the empire.」

「That’s obvious. The empire’s emblem is plain to see.」

「Is there a nearby clothing store?」

「There are two clothing guild retail stores next door.」

「I’ll check them out later.」

「…..there will be a sale there in 30 minutes.」

He was a very kind uncle.

He said the registration and other processes would be completed by sunset.

That’s quite fast. Thank you, uncle.

I decided to wander around the city a little to kill time until then.

—Scene Change—

Hmmmm, I stretched my body.

It’s time to wander around the city after completing my task.

Yeah, I feel very refreshed.

As I walked through the streets of Gartland, I bought and ate a sausage baguette from a street vendor. It’s really a lively city. No one is paying attention to me and at most, they are just curious about me as a traveler from the empire. I enjoyed my first holiday in a while.

「Does it really look good on me?」

When it was time for the sale in the clothing guild to start, I was surrounded by stylish clerk ladies who helped me choose clothes.

The shirt is made of rough material and the trousers are baggy.

They are materials suitable for outdoor activities just as I requested.

And they are quite stylish.

Since it was a sale, I got a change of clothes at a very reasonable price.

Once dressed, I seem to be able to blend completely with the hustle and bustle of the city and is hardly bothered by anyone’s stare. In short, I’m not a legitimate mob.

「…..that said, I can’t afford to waste more money.」

The money left over after buying the land was roughly three hundred thousand yen.

Since that was also the money I’ll use to prepare for my life here, I would be almost penniless.

I was able to buy a vast plot of land at an unbelievable price.

Starting tomorrow, I’ll be a pioneer.

An empty land with nothing in it means I’m not bound to anything.
