Overlord (Light Novel) Chapter 54

Epilogue

(Re)Translated by: Nigel

“Then, here's the 100 gold coins as promised, and here's the receipt.”

He looked at the contents of the purse, then nodded in satisfaction. Arche's father signed the parchment handed to him without a moment's hesitation. Finally, he put his family's seal on it. The practiced nature of these movements proved that he had done them several times before.

The man looked at the parchment, and then nodded. If Hekkeran and Imina were here, they would have looks of absolute disgust on their faces. This man was the one who had gone to the inn where Foresight had stayed.

“I've confirmed that there's no problems.”

“Aren't you going to make sure?”

“Really now?” the man replied to Arche's father as he nodded grandly.

To the man, however, none of that was important as long as the father was a good client.

The head of the house responded to his question with the same magnanimous — certain of his superior status — nod of his head.

“…Ah, yes, is your daughter doing well?”

The man remembered that this family had three daughters, and so he added:

“Oh, Arche. She's off earning money.”

And what are you doing while your daughter's making money?

He could not help but pity the girl for having such a father.

It was simply that the most important thing was that the principal and interest had to be paid, and that they had to keep borrowing money from him. He had no intention of interfering with other people's families.

As he heard the father's unhappy reply, the man furrowed his brows. It would be troublesome if any sticky business happened which hampered their ability to pay up. Besides, the interest from this family had made him a fortune, so he would like very much to keep doing business with them. Therefore, he decided to try asking about something which he would normally not have bothered with.

“No, nothing of the sort. Just a daugher forgetting how much care she received ever since she was a child and going against her father.”

“Honestly! I need to give her a good scolding! She needs to know the attitude a noble ought to have!”

“It must be tough.”

The man had not specified who he was referring to, and so the father had assumed that the man was talking about his own hardship and muttered to himself.

As he thought of that, the man surveyed the interior of the room.

The man looked down to hide the emotion rising in his eyes.

“…Really?”

“Oh, I'm not saying all plebs are like that. I mean the adventuring sort.”

“Don't you think so? They were probably the ones who made my daughter turn on me. I need to find a chance to give her a good talking-to. Honestly, a daughter ought to be listening to her father. Actually daring to talk back to me, who does she think she is?”

“…Then, I have other places to go, so I'll take my leave. Do remember to pay on time.”

“When's onee-sama coming back?”

There were two young girls in the room. They sat on the bed like it was a chair, and the two girls who sat side by side looked the same.

Both of them were dressed in the same way, in immaculate, pure white one-piece dresses, and a pair of pale, slender legs kicked beneath their skirts.

“Really!”

“Just so.”

“Of course!”

Their big sister — Arche — often went out. They did not know what their big sister did, but they both knew that their big sister was doing something very important. Therefore, they decided not to be naughty, but they could not help wanting to play with their gentle sister.

They liked their gentle, yet knowledgeable sister who treated them nicely.

“Why isn't she back yet~?”

“Mmm, very much, Uleirika.”

“I want onee-chan to sleep with me~”

“Uleirika, you're cunning too~”

“Then, Kuuderika can come sleep with onee-sama too.”

“Mm, Uleirika can sleep with onee-chan too.”

Then, the two of them laughed. They imagined the happy times that would soon be upon them—
