Willian was left in disbelief, as Ervas asked him if they could sell him some things and buy others rather carefreely.

​​

"W-What are the things you want to sell? (There's no way they would sell another sack of ores, right?)" asked Willian.

"Some more ores we have been digging the last… ten years," said Ervas, as Veronica nodded and took a large sack of ores out of her soul, although it seemed like she produced it out of nowhere as if a Spatial Attribute Spell was employed for it.

Boom!

"A-Ah! You really just brought more!" cried Willian, as he almost jumped out of his chair!

"Check them out sir, they are authentic, and some are charged with Mana," said Veronica.

"D-Did you really dug these ores for over ten years? In which mountain? The nearby ones are mostly emptied of ores…" said Willian.

"We dug them out of a Dungeon on our place, it was filled with magic ores and crystals, which would regenerate back after a few days," said Kireina.

"R-Really?! What kind of miraculous Dungeon is that?! Well, I know that there are dungeons that can be dug for stone and salt but… gold, silver, and magic ores?!" asked Willian.

"Yeah it is a cave-like dungeon filled with deadly monsters," said Ismene.

"Normal people can't get in, so there haven't been miners inside, as the monsters would easily eat them up. Only those like us that can defeat the monsters easily and mine at the same time are good for the task," said Veronica.

"Y-You can do such a thing?" asked Willian.

"Indeed," said Ervas.

"A-Anyways sir, here are the materials, please check their authenticity," said Percy.

"Y-Yes, I will…" said Willian, moving to the sack and glancing at the beautiful treasure trove of materials…

Ervas and Veronica's group could clearly see how Willian's pupils became $-shaped for a second.

He took his time, but in the end, he managed to check each piece of ore.

"All authentic… You have indeed legitimately mined these ores… (Or that is what I want to believe, I do not want to question them either, the money I will make outweighs the dangers… and also, they seem strong, so I better not provoke them…)" said Willian, caressing his hands greedily.

"As you can see, Sir Willian, my lords want to sell this to you… As long as you keep it low… All of these ores can be yours with a good discount, so you can make a very good profit," said Percy.

Willian nodded hysterically as he drank a bit of tea.

"S-Sure thing! I am pleased to do more business with you three…" said Willian, as he quickly began to work on transactions documents.

After an hour of arduous paperwork, the transaction seemed to have been done, and because Willian was the owner of this Guild, he was able to easily cut corners and make things swifter.

"5200 Golden Pieces it is. We currently don't have as much money, so they had been accredited into your bank account, you can use the bank card I gave you yesterday to do transactions in most places," said Willian.

"Can we get a few pieces at least?" asked Ervas.

"Why yes, here… One thousand Gold Pieces is all we have at the moment, I will refill the Guild in a few more hours," said Willian.

"Excellent," said Veronica.

"Now that this is done, my lords have another thing they desire to purchase… And there is quite the large list," said Percy, taking away several documents and giving them to Willian.

"T-This… A building of at least two floors… A personalized Sign… and more… This… are you planning to open a business?" asked Willian.

"Yes, we want to sell our family preparations," said Ervas.

"There's no need to supply with cooking tools, chairs, tables, ingredients, or other things, we can prepare them ourselves," said Veronica.

"I-I see…" said Willian.

Willian then began to read a few other documents.

"Is there a building that could fit my lord's requirements?" asked Percy.

"Yes… Although it is not in the best conditions, it's the only one available as of now, our city is bursting with people everywhere, and business bloom in the central streets, so all those buildings are already brought, and the owners don't even want to rent them," said Willian.

"However, there is one… a bit far away from that area… In the streets known as the Red Light District," said Willian.

"Red Light District?" asked Percy.

"Oh, we went through it yesterday, when we got assaulted by some thugs!" laughed Alesia.

"Y-You got assaulted?!" asked Willian.

"Yeah, we beat them good and then they went running away, so no problem, they're a bunch of chickens," said Anna.

"(Just how strong… are these people?!) Ahem. I-I see. Anyways, this building was abandoned because it used to be owned by a person that was in debt with an organization in such a district… the owner was killed, and well, the place is tainted in blood… And no one wanted to buy it after that, becoming abandoned and used by homeless people and ghosts," said Willian.

"Oh, that's perfect then!" said Veronica.

"E-Eh?" asked Willian.

"Yeah, we want it. Let us buy it right now so no one else buys it before," said Ervas.

"Very well… when the owner died the building became part of the city, and it was promptly sold to me. It has been sitting there for years now, so I can give you a discount… How about 1200 Gold Pieces?" asked Willian.

"900," said Ervas.

"E-Excuse me?" asked Willian.

"Sir, the Building was abandoned, and people were killed there. And that is without mentioning the homeless people living inside that my lords will have to exert the effort of kicking out… And without even considering that they will also need to exorcise the Ghosts. The offer of my lord is rather fair based on it," said Percy.

"T-That's… well… 1100!" said Willian.

"950," said Ervas.

"B-But that's too little…! 1050!" said Willian.

"1000," said Ervas.

"1025!" said Willian.

"1010," said Ervas.

"Tch… 1015! And I won't lower it anymore!" said Willian.

"Deal," said Ervas.

"(He almost got me!)" thought Willian, as he cleansed the sweat off his forehead and drank a bit of tea.

Willian sighed, he would have actually lowered it a bit as he bought the building for around 600 Gold Pieces, but Ervas seemed to not be so greedy.

"Then 1015 Gold Pieces it is," said Percy, as Willian quickly discounted the money through the magic artifacts that the cards were, alongside discounting it on the credits.

"Very well, let me make a few more papers… And it should be done with," said Willian, beginning to sign documents and a lot of other paperwork that the rest of the party saw as something incredibly complicated, admiring Willian, despite being a weak and fat man, he was very talented in this type of 'combat'.

"He shines the most when he is doing paperwork," said Ismene.

"Indeed, look at his moves, he is very sharp and precise, you can see a lot of experience on those hands," said Leonidas.

"Amazing, he is perhaps even more talented and experienced at paperwork than me at cooking," said Gaius.

Willian felt the pressure of such praise from incredibly strong warriors.

Although he felt rather flustered, he could not help but be modest over it, as the beings praising him held an overwhelming presence.

"T-Thanks, I have been doing this for over 40 years by now…" laughed Willian, finishing the last document.

"And we are done," said Percy, as Ervas and Veronica signed the documents as well.

"Ahem, now that we are done with this… Shall I show you the place? We can go on my carriage as always," said Willian rather politely, as the party followed him from behind like ducklings following their duck mother.

After half an hour, they finally reached the place, which lied a bit closer to the middle of the Red-Light District.

"What is the Red-Light District about?" wondered Ditoyle.

"Oh, well… It is where… well, the things that we don't wish to show in front reside…" said Willian.

"Pretty much where most of the poor people live, alongside this, there are a lot of brothels, bars, and other stuff like that," said Kireina.

"O-Oh, lady Kireina seems to know," said Willian.

"Yeah, I explored around the other day…" said Kireina.

"Eh? You came without me?!" asked Ditoyle.

"Don't worry I just came to buy booze, I would never cheat on you dear," said Kireina, kissing Ditoyle.

"Alright… But you better share the booze later on!" said Ditoyle.

"Sure thing, I bought a nice one, you'll love it~," said Kireina.

"Hm care to share some for us?" asked Anna.

"Sure thing, the one that sold it said that it was good to awaken libido," said Kireina.

"Ooooh~ Maybe we'll have a busy night? Fufu," said Veronica as she slightly grabbed Anna's hips.

"A-Ahem… P-Please, through here," said Willian, he was as red as a tomato after hearing these ladies talk about their night activities, especially imagining them doing everything they hinted…

Willian showed the party the building, which at first glance resembled your typical run of mill two-floor inn building, made of rock bricks tightly packed together, a front and back door made of wood, windows without actual glass that closed with wood, and it even came included with some furniture inside and two beds on the second floor.

The second floor had around four rooms, so the place could also be used as an Inn, with the first floor being used as a tavern, there was also a kitchen with a rock oven and a chimney.

However, the entire place was completely filled with dust and spiderwebs, and the group immediately noticed the large bloodstains all over the floor, which were also dried out into the wood.

Alongside this, the group felt the phantasmagoric presence of supernatural entities roaming around and on the second floor, around five people were residing…

Willian only showed things through the door and immediately flew away from this place, as it was way too dangerous for someone of his rank to be going in places filled with criminals.

Kireina quickly gathered the five people within the second floor, who were two old men with long beards that seemed to be drunk, and three little children of different demi-human races, a young little Banshee girl, a Giant boy, and a what seemed to be a Cockroach variant of an Insectoid, who they couldn't tell if it was a boy or a girl.

All three of them seemed frightened…

"A-Are you the owners of this place?" asked the Banshee girl while trembling.

"P-Please let my siblings go… we'll make sure to never come back!" said the Giant boy, although he was a little boy, he was already over one meter due to his race, which could easily reach three meters on adulthood.

"Gishi… P-Please…" cried the little Cockroach Insectoid child.

"Hm, we cannot let you go…" said Ervas eerily.

"No way, we will have to… take care of you from now on…" said Veronica, as her bloodlust increased.

"Don't resist… Or it will only make it more painful…" said Ervas, his hands extending to them!

The three children swallowed saliva, as tears were about to begin dropping from their eyes!

"P-Please, let us go!"

"That's right, we'll have to wash you all, can you even smell yourselves?" said Veronica, petting the giant boy.

"Indeed, you three smell like trash, we'll have to wash you," said Ervas.

"Do you want new clothes? I can sew you a few things straight away too," said Veronica.

"Are you hungry? Here, have some sandwiches," said Ervas, taking out of Veronica's phantom three sandwiches.

"Eh?" asked the trio, in shock.

"What's wrong? Oh! Dummy, you have to give them some water too…" said Veronica.

"I'm on it! I am boiling some water, someone want tea?" asked Kireina.

"Oh, I want some booze!" said an old homeless man that was sleeping on the second floor.

"Not for you old man!" said Kireina.

"Damn it!" said the old man, he seemed to be missing a few screws.

"You won't… kill us?" asked the Banshee girl.

"Eh? Why?" asked Ervas.

"That's horrible, why would we even do that? Are you three crazy or something?" asked Veronica.

"N-No…" said the giant boy.

"Alright then, eat up and drink some tea, we'll go clean the bathrooms for now!" said Veronica, running upstairs.

It seems that the future of these three children, and well, the two old men had changed a bit.
