SWNOVELXO Volume 1 Chapter 15 - The Winner's Plan
“Hmm, senior, you have a good figure for a guy. I thought I was confident in mine too…”
Kaede-chan was groping my body and looking unsatisfied.
“My body doesn’t matter. It’s just for when I’m selling.”
Give me a compliment when I’m a man.
“Well, I’ll buy underwear, but what about clothes?”
“A black robe is fine. I’m going for the mysterious look!”
“So that’s why you talk like that…”
I practiced!
“Well, it’s not a big deal. You won’t think I’m Hajime Okita in this appearance, will you? I’m the mysterious woman, Eleanor Ocean.”
I’m speaking in a feminine tone.
“Amazing! You look intelligent!”
“Right? Please call me Fixer.”
“Amazing! You turned into a fool in an instant!”
By the way, what is a Fixer?
Would CEO have been better?
“Well, let’s make money quickly.”
“What are we going to do from now on?”
“Hmm? I’m going to sell a ton of potions and item bags.”
I’m selling.
I’m profiting.
Life is a blast.
Yay!
“You know, that’s really suspicious.”
“I’m planning to sell by transferring guilds, so it’s okay.”
Selling a bit at a time should be no problem.
“Senior, I’ll be blunt. You’ve already been marked. Probably, there isn’t a person who doesn’t know Eleanor Ocean in each branch of the guild in Japan.”
“Why?”
“Selling five potions is a big deal. Besides, you tried to sell at a pawnshop without knowing your identification number, right? It’s reported to the guild headquarters, and a notice is sent to all branches.”
I didn’t realize it was that bad… Ah!
“You should have told me about the identification number! You’re a receptionist!”
I press Kaede-chan.
“But I thought you didn’t need it because you sell at my place!”
Is that what exclusive means?
“Well, it’s okay. I managed to sell safely in the end.”
“Yes, yes.”
“And it doesn’t really matter. I’m just selling stuff, is there something wrong with that?”
It’s not stolen, and it’s not a fake.
I’m just making and selling.
“So you’re going to be defiant… Maybe we should go with that strategy.”
“What do you mean?”
“Senior, please dodge all the questions. I got it from a slime. I got it from a goblin. Stick to that. After all, that appearance is not your real one. If it becomes a problem, just don’t become that. Be truly the mysterious woman, Eleanor Ocean!”
I’ve been saying that from the beginning.
“That’s the idea. Let’s make money quickly.”
“Senior, please transfer.”
“Eh? It’s okay not to profit in Ikebukuro? It’s going to be your profit, right?”
That’s going to be your evaluation, right?
“No, no, Eleanor Ocean is in Ikebukuro. But, please transfer, Mr. Okita. After all, there’s a link with the status card.”
Ah… indeed.
“My level goes up with it.”
“Yes. And, having level 5 Swordsmanship is bad. It’s too high. It stands out. At least, you should separate the guild.”
I guess my talent and skills are despised.
“Well, I guess I’ll move to Shibuya…”
“Why Shibuya?”
There’s a former gravure idol there.
“Hmm, you know the saying, to hide a tree, use a forest? I’m going to move to Shibuya, where there are the most adventurers. There are many skilled people there too, it’s perfect.”
“Wow! You’re so smart!”
My junior applauds.
This girl is definitely mocking me in her daily life.
“Right?”
“You’re just targeting the receptionists, aren’t you?”
No, that’s not true…
“You’ll be lonely without me, but keep up the good work.”
Take care, okay?
“No, Eleanor-san will come, right?”
“Yeah, well.”
I gulp down the beer.
Kaede-chan also gulps down the beer.
“Also, you should completely separate Senior and Eleanor Ocean from this house. Please stop going out as Eleanor Ocean from this house.”
“What? You want me to change in a toilet somewhere?”
“It comes to that.”
Really?
Well, I guess it’s okay in a park toilet.
The mysterious woman, Eleanor Ocean, coming to work from a park toilet!
It’s too lame, LOL.
“Shall we go with that?”
“Also, Senior, you should involve our guild master.”
“Hmm? Your boss? Is that okay?”
“He’s a person I can trust. He can be persuaded with money.”
Is the trust I know different from the trust Kaede-chan understands?
“Hmm, well, I guess we need to explain to a certain extent.”
“Yes. I don’t think we need to say that Eleanor Ocean is Senior, but I think it would be good to at least explain about the skills.”
Well, it doesn’t really matter.
As Kaede-chan said earlier, the worst-case scenario is just to run away.
The point is not to let them know about the TS potion.
“Well, that’s it.”
“Yes. So, I will handle Senior’s transfer procedure tomorrow, so please come to the guild as Eleanor Ocean the day after tomorrow. I will introduce the guild master.”
“Yes, yes.”
Well then, I have tomorrow off.
I’ll go buy a bag.
“Alright! Let’s drink!”
We’re already drinking.
“Shall we go for yakiniku?”
It’s already past five o’clock.
“I have work tomorrow.”
“Oh, that’s right.”
It might not be the best for a girl.
“Senior, you can see one billion, can’t you?”
“Yeah. This bag alone is worth one billion. But let’s not talk about such trivial amounts and aim for the money that lets us play for a lifetime! Goodbye, work!”
“Goodbye, black!”
“Ha ha ha! Victory, hooray!”
…Hmm, I should have turned back into a man earlier.
I missed the timing.
