After I Stopped Sponsoring, the Female Leads Began Obsessing Over Me

66 – Do you want to go to the festival with me?

Raymond Upper Lichten branch, Emilia Raymond’s office.

Emilia was receiving reports from her subordinates.

“It is said that Ecomana purchased the guild’s securities.”

“What is that guild doing? Do you have a report?”

“Yes.”

The content of that report was Ian’s every move.

Especially at the stock exchange.

Her subordinate handed her her report.

A pile of papers fluttered in Emilia’s hand. Each time, the toe of her braided legs tapped lightly.

Emilia suddenly covers her mouth.

“What the hell… Puff!”

“Miss Emilia?”

“Puhahahaha!”

Thump thump.

Emilia slammed her table recklessly.

“A joke can’t even be a joke like this! At least someone seems to have scammed me! Kyahahahaha!”

After laughing like that for a while, Emilia wiped away her tears and asked her subordinate.

“Does this guild called Ecomana have a stake in our top?”

“There is a small amount of initial investment money. It is about 2.5% Of the total stake.”

“That’s enough to make the stock price plummet if you pour it out at once.”

“Yes?

“Then next time the two of them come. Sell them all. I’ll have to watch their desperate faces. I’ll have to pay them back once I’ve had one.”

After saying that, Emilia lowered her head to the document.

Her men hesitated.

“That but…”

“What is it?”

“By the way, isn’t this stock a promising stock? The stock we own has enough upside to some extent, so it’s in our portfolio…”

“Mr. Bellows.”

Emilia’s cool tone.

Her subordinate immediately straightened his back.

“Yes, yep!”

“If this stock rises a lot, it’s doubled. It’s okay even if you don’t have 100 gold, so don’t talk nonsense and do as instructed.”

“Oops, sorry. Got it!”

◆

The so-called outsiders have one characteristic.

Once you leave the house once, you optimize your circulation, solve all the tasks you need to do, and return.

“Is winter clothes shopping next?”

That was the case with Ian.

The personality of having to pick out the mulberry once it comes out.

‘I can train for two hours as soon as I get back today.’

Although it was to secure training time, there was no big difference in the principle of action.

So Ian arrived at Northtown’s biggest clothing outlet.

[ Northtown Woodbury Outlet ]

At the long warehouse-type store, colorful clothes stimulated customers.

The store is quite crowded.

– “I’m going to do my best for this Lantern Festival.”

– “Look at this outfit. It suits you well.”

– “Wouldn’t it be nice to wear a little more fine clothes?”

While passing through the entrance, I could hear the chatter of young women presumed to be academy cadets.

‘It’s probably because of the St. Gregory’s Lantern Festival.’

Saint Gregory Light Festival.

It is a memorial festival in which the streets are filled with electric lights to commemorate the sacrifice of a saint named Gregory.

At this time, all the main downtown areas of the countries under the influence of the Empire light up the streets with orange lights.

– “This time, I want to flirt with someone who has a villa.”

– “The southern beaches are so pretty these days.”

– “Constantine is so muggy, I want to go to the Northern Duchy.”

There is a week-long public holiday following the festival, which is also called the Golden Week, ‘St. Gregory’s Memorial Week.’

A week off. As it is a festival that takes place on the first day, the heat of the festival is really great.

It was the right place to use it as an opportunity to find a lover and build a relationship.

In fact, there are statistics that say that the birth rate is highest 10 months after St. Gregory’s Week.

This outlet was an extension of the reason why it was crowded with people.

But.

— Kkeut kkeut kkeut.

Above the clothes display stand, fluffy cherry-colored ears pricked up and wandered around.

Especially stands out among many people.

Because of his short stature, he can only see his ears, but it is clear who it is.

Her Ian crept up to her.

“Aren’t you too short? This is just a piece of cloth… Mu, mu… It’s like a lot…”

Danya is immersed in trouble with a serious face, holding a white dress for beastmen.

“What are you doing?”

“Nyan!”

Danya was startled by the unexpected appearance of Ian.

Then she hurriedly hid her clothes behind her tail.

“Hey, Ian, how are you here? Isn’t today mana training day?”

“How do you know my training schedule?”

Ian must have wondered if she knew that every time she trained outdoors, she ‘accidentally’ passed by and looked around.

“That’s because it’s a colleague!”

“Um. Is that so?”

She sighed inwardly at the sight of Ian dismissing it as nothing.

“Rather than that, why are you here? You, can you?”

Kung.

She’s got a look of shock on her own.

Her tail drooped.

“Could it be that the light festival is scheduled for a date?!”

Ian shook her head.

“I came to buy winter clothes. Ah. Do you know where the winter clothes are?”

Danya’s tail restored at Ian’s words.

She almost bought the wrong clothes for no reason.

“I saw you earlier! Let me guide you!”

She gently waggled her tail, which she had folded twice inconspicuously, and Danya pulled her Ian.

That’s how we arrived at the winter clothing corner.

“Hmm…”

A quiet voice flowed from Ian’s mouth.

It was because the price of winter clothes was higher than expected.

The bulky winter clothing made of animal fur was too bulky.

The special material reflecting the engineering was surprisingly thin, but the price was too high.

‘I should have left about 10 silver.’

The money in Ian’s hand is three silver coins.

If you look at the price, the ‘sky marten top and bottom set’ seemed worth buying. It is too white and has a limited volume in terms of activity.

‘In that case, I’d rather comb her tail hair to make padding.’

Ian’s mysterious gaze.

Danya instinctively hid her tail.

“What, what.”

“I didn’t even think about it.”

“It must have been a strange idea.”

Avoiding Danya’s eyes glaring at him, Ian turned his eyes to the countertop.

[ Andrew’s workshop top and bottom set. (10 Silver) ]

Andrew workshop.

It is a studio that is famous for its good value for money even by game standards.

This looks the best, but…

7 Silver is not enough.

‘Wouldn’t it be traumatic?’

It’s money you can earn by solving about 5 overdue prophecies.

As I was thinking about it, Danya started talking to me.

“Do you want me to buy it for you?”

Ian asked.

“Why?”

“Oh no…!”

Frigidly, fidgety.

After tapping her index finger a few times, Danya opened her mouth.

“That… That. Congratulations! The Disciplinary Committee has been resolved!”

Ian pondered for a moment.

‘Can I accept a gift like this?’

10 Silver is not a small amount of money.

Seeing Ian hesitantly, Danya hurriedly said,

“I, I have a lot of money!”

Come to think of it, I don’t think I’ve ever seen Danya struggling with money.

“Then I’ll be grateful.”

“Yes! Yes…!”

Danya is smiling brightly.

To be honest, it wasn’t that bright inside.

She had a sinister mind.

‘It’s Sylvia who seduces you with nothing but food for 100 years!’

It was a trigger of a competitive spirit with Sylvia, whom I had met in front of Ian’s house.

◆

Ian suddenly had a question.

“How do prisoners wear pants or skirts?”

If you think about it carefully, if you wear a skirt, the hem of the skirt will be lifted. If you wear pants, shouldn’t you wear them down to the tail?

Instead of answering, Danya picked up a pair of prisoner-only pants.

A small hole in the lower back.

Danya put her tail through the hole as a demonstration.

“It’s like pulling off the tail like this.”

From noble mtl dot com

Because the hole is small, the tail passes through just barely, but the inside is not visible.

“It’s amazing.”

As I walked towards the checkout counter, I looked closely and saw that there were only a few items such as prisoner-only bottoms and hats on display.

Danya passed by, glancing at the white brim hat.

Ian picked it up.

“Try it. I’ll take a look.”

“It looks weird because of the ears…”

In place of the hesitant Danya, a hat was placed on her head.

An ear protruding through a hole.

She found it somehow cute.

“It suits you well.”

“…Ugh!”

Danya hurriedly took off her hat and put it back on the display stand.

Then, Ian snatched the winter clothing she was holding in one hand.

She heads to the checkout without a word.

‘…Are you mad?’

The inside of Danya’s ears turned slightly red.

‘It might be rude to put a hat on a beastman.’

Even Ian, who doesn’t care much about the other person’s feelings, wants to be a little kind to the person who gives him a 10-silver gift.

To be honest, I was a little scared.

Until Danya makes her next move.

“Do you have anything more to pay?”

“Now, wait a minute.”

He came over to Ian again and picked up the hat again.

She would then often run away and hand it to the cashier.

“This… Count this too.”

“Yes. A total of 13 silver and 23 copper.”

As soon as she received her hat, she put it on her wide and bowed her head.

She was so cute that Ian laughed involuntarily.

She often walks up, and Danya throws her wrapped clothes into Ian’s arms.

“Come on.”

“Thank you. The hat really suits you.”

“Wow!”

Ian deliberately teased Danya one more time.

The response is too strong.

While Ian is determined to make fun of Danya more often in the future.

Danya muttered softly.

“Hey, Ian over there.”

“Huh?”

“That… That’s that. Hey, would you like to watch this festival together?”

Are you tapping the ground with your shoe after asking that?

Ian pondered for a moment.

‘This festival is quite important.’

A significant event occurs during the St. Gregory Lantern Festival.

The player, who is very ordinary in terms of the setting, is given the only chance to get the attention of the named character ‘The Third Princess’.

That is the ‘3rd Princess Assassination Attempt’.

Princess Asteria is also a key character in the main scenario 「Chapter 2, Frosted River」.

Since the scenario itself starts with her request.

In short, the prologue of Chapter 2 is the attempt to assassinate the princess.

‘If I can’t attract the attention of the princess here, she won’t be able to participate in Chapter 2.’

In other words, you will get on a direct train to the bad ending.

In addition, as Sharon Pierce is involved, you must get good results from the prologue of Chapter 2 in order to see the proper end.

In the end, the question is whether Danya will help this case or not…

If you think about it, the conclusion is simple.

“Yes. Let’s go together. Looking forward to it.”

Earth and grass magic.

Ian decided it was time to put that interaction to good use.

On the other hand, Ian’s inner meaning is somewhat misunderstood.

‘Excited… I can’t believe I’m excited.’

She replied brightly but shyly.

“Oh, yes!”

I pushed my hat down to cover my flushed face.

The pricked ears and wagging tail could not be hidden.
