Chapter 4 - 2 Underground Auction – Loli old hag...... Secret conversation with lord

 She sits down in my proud cowhide chair........

I wonder why this happened......

This leaves us completely misunderstood by the three of them........

The childish elder lord in front of me looks very satisfied and is happy to eat the snacks and drink the tea in front of me.


“...so, I wonder what you're up to” (Itsuki)

“Hmm? On what? Oh, please, give me more tea” (Oligor)

“You intentionally slipped in... I mean, there's no need to say it's just the two of us” (Itsuki)

“But we're alone now, you know?” (Oligor)


Yes. That's right.

This lord, eliminating Wendy and Shiro and entering the alchemy room alone with me, wielded an awesome power that I don't even know if there is a lord authority or not.


‘Fufufu. Lord is great!’


I didn't understand what she was saying, but I listened to what she said quietly, so maybe it was a famous topic that I just didn't know about.


“Hmm. Well, I wonder how should I describe” (Oligor)

“Hm?” (Itsuki)

“Look, it looks like you're the one who saved me” (Oligor)

“Well ... will that going to happen?” (Itsuki)

“It will” (Oligor)


I got that thing by accident....

Certainly, it was me who gave it to her, but I only gave it to her because I didn't want her to die.

We really only talked for a little, very little time, and I wondered if this is what it would be like if my sister were here.

Maybe that's why I didn't want her to die...I guess?

Well, it's a bad taste to leave as it is when someone dying whereas I can save her! Yup!


“Once again, thank you. I wouldn't be alive today without your help” (Oligor)

“Don't worry about it. I just happened to get it and I was able to save you” (Itsuki)


Geez, I wonder what's going on with you normally.

I don't know how to describe it, but it's driving me crazy.


“That being said, that's a very valuable thing. It's so valuable that even within the kingdom, it's not allowed to be traded without permission” (Oligor)

“Hmm? Then, it's okay to ask Hayato for a quest?” (Itsuki)

“It is contract with them that I ask for quests, I pay them, and everything they get is mine. That way, it's not like we're dealing in elixirs. Well, the nobles who want it may not look good, but there aren't many nobles in town who'd want to fight me for it” (Oligor)

“Well, that's...right?” (Itsuki)


Even though Reinrich and Darwin are there, I can't help but think that if it's a noble who wants it desperately.

But I've decided that this country is well-disciplined and ruled by a proper king.


“Well, I might be able to get it on the black market or in a underground auction. It's a black market, so it's going to cost tens of millions of Nord, depending on the times, and I don't even know what time it's going to be available......” (Oligor)

“You mean in black market. Isn't the kingdom cracking down on it?” (Itsuki)

“They seem to be leaving it out as a necessary evil. Well, both those in the king's vicinity and the nobility are participating in it. Rumor has it that the king's messengers are there or not. It's the only way to get what you can't get, or what you want to get in secret, even though you have money. But if something is forbidden by law, it can't be sold. Narcotics, or specially protected animals, for example” (Oligor)

“I see” (Itsuki)

“With that way of talking, it's like you didn't get it from underground. You are a very mysterious person” (Oligor)

“That's right. I only just found out about it. But I'm not going to tell you the source” (Itsuki)

“It's fine. I don't want to be hated by someone who saved my life” (Oligor)

“It's not that I hate you” (Itsuki)


If it's worth that much, I can see why you'd be concerned about the source of it.

I'm sorry, but I can't tell anyone about it because it would invite a potential danger.


“So, I'd like to thank you, but since you said you wouldn't mind if I talked to Hayato about it, I'd like you to accept the reward for the quest I was supposed to give to Hayato, how about that?” (Oligor)

“I'll take it if you insist on giving it to me, but are you sure?” (Itsuki)

“Of course. Oh, and if you'd rather be paid in person, my—” (Oligor)

“No, that's enough for me so it's okay” (Itsuki)

“Come on, let me say till the last! Let's enjoy this conversations!” (Oligor)


No, I'm only losing my mind already, those conversations. 

If someone doesn't know that it's becoming a regular occurrence, if they hear about it, seriously, I will become an open pervert and lolicon.


“I really don't have to take it though...” (Itsuki)

“It doesn't work that way. I don't want to be treated like that because it would make me feel like I owe you something. I just want to be a ordinary person with you” (Oligor)

“As far as I'm concerned, you're as close as my sister, and that's a good thing you're still alive” (Itsuki)

“Being treated like a little sister is troubling. Oh, but if you like being called that way, should I keep calling you Onii-chan?” (Oligor)

“You don't have to call me...... Oh, I get it. I want the reward that Hayato was to receive. In fact, I won't take anything else” (Itsuki)

“That's nasty” (Oligor)

“I don't know why you're such a cute little kid on the outside, but you're so disappointing in your words and actions...” (Itsuki)

“It's nice to be told I'm pretty, but I can't leave the fact that thinking of me as kid! Do you think my body isn't attractive enough?” (Oligor)

“You're not going to retort on disappointment. Oh, so lacking. Not enough at all” (Itsuki)


If Wendy's ones is a watermelon, yours is a sliced cucumber.

“Even for me, if I'm serious, my ones will become big” (Oligor) (TN: last part of this sentence is difficult for me to describe it. It shows as “Bon Kyu Bon” in original source.) 

“......Hah” (Itsuki)

“Stop laughing through your nose! That's seriously hurt!” (Oligor)


No, because I can't show any other reaction.

Since it's a halfling, it can't help but be small in all sorts of ways.

On top of that, you said Bon Kyu Bon......

It would be a reasonable way to deal with the situation, which is not funny, but I have to laugh at it.

Or I should have looked at her with pitying eyes.


“Hmm. All of them including you. No good men in my tribe, and human tribe think I'm just a kid. That is so disresceptful” (Oligor)

“Well, don't be mad. Here. Want some snacks?” (Itsuki)

“Yay! ......hah! Don't treat me like a kid!” (Oligor)

“Sounds like you're having fun” (Itsuki)

“Yeah, it's so much fun! I'm having the time of my life!” (Oligor)


........ that's right.

She carried the heavy responsibility of a lord in such a small body, and even though her body was poisoned, she didn't give up until the end.


“I wonder what happened to you for staring at me like that” (Oligor)

“Just come on. I just want to love you” (Itsuki)

“That's a good attitude, Onii-chan.......Hmm?” (Oligor)


I hold Oligor in my arms and place her on my lap and stroke her head.

She truly small.........

In terms of height alone, I guess she's smaller than Shiro.

It's easy to pet her head when she's on my lap.


“Hey, hey. What's up? Don't tell me you're just going to stroke my head to love me!” (Oligor)

“That's right” (Itsuki)

“Kuh! Human tribe! That's why the human tribe are!” (Oligor)

“Well, get petted quietly. I still have a reputation to uphold” (Itsuki)

“Maybe to your slaves!” (Oligor)

“Yes, but doesn't it feel good?” (Itsuki)

“......... No, it feels good. I don't know what it is, but it's soothing......” (Oligor)


Oligor, who quietly shut her eyes and entrusts her body to me.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                           

She's got so much weight on her that she's going to fall asleep as it is.

Well, I don't mind her falling asleep.

You would have been called around at the festival.

Now that you're here, get some rest.


“Itsuki-san! Are you okay!?” (Hayato)


But unfortunately, in this harmonious space, there was a sudden visitor.

“......Huh?” (Oligor)

“Oh, Hayato, is that you? Welcome back” (Itsuki)


The person staring at me and Oligor with a look of puzzlement was Hayato, the man who saved me.

Even though it's only for a short while, it makes me feel nostalgic.


“Oh, uh ... uh, eh ... I comeback?” (Hayato)

“Hayato.........I'm disappointed in you.......even though I almost fell asleep in a dreamy state....” (Oligor)

“I, I'm sorry. Huh? That's not what I heard” (Hayato)

“By the way, who and what did you ask?” (Oligor)


It's somewhat predictable, though.

Also, the door must have been locked, so it must have been broken....

I'll have to fix it later, I guess.

“Well, Wendy told me that Itsuki-san is being held captive by the Lord” (Hayato)

“If he was locked up, he wouldn't be in his home alchemy room...” (Oligor)

“I thought it was strange.... But he had a very intense expression on his face...... Well, what did you do?” (Hayato)

“I was patting her head” (Itsuki)

“He patted me on the head and I almost fell asleep” (Oligor)

“Wha-what are the circumstances, wow! Don't tell me you're in a relationship” (Hayato)

“Hell no” (Itsuki)

“Ah, yes. That' s right. Yes” (Hayato)

“Shikushiku. You don't have to deny it so forcefully, do you?” (Oligor)


I don't want Hayato to identify me as a lolicon, even for Hayato.

At worst, those three would be able to get away with being teased, but I'm afraid that the serious Hayato would take it seriously.


“Oh, well, you're here, so sit down. I'm sure there's plenty to talk about” (Itsuki)

“Oh, yes. Then” (Hayato)

“I think I'll just listen as it is. Come on, pet the head!” (Oligor)


After all, you're saying it's childish and you like it....
