The Reason Dragon Slayer Is Popular   

「Ara, Eleonora. That pendant looks good on you」

「Un, it’s very beautiful」

「Really? Thank you」

I guess they noticed Eleonorneesan putting on the pendant when Elnkaasan and Nord-tousan came and praises her. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com

「Why don’t we buy it if you took a liking to it?」

「Eh, is it okay?」

「Eleonora rarely buys some accessories after all. If anything, I’d like for you to have more accessories like this」

「That’s right. I think it’s better if you do that」

Indeed, compared to other young ladies from a noble house, Eleonorneesan should have few fashionable clothes and accessories. She only has two, or three dresses, and that is only the bare minimum number of dresses and accessories.

However, a pendant this beautiful will be able to be used even at a party. And besides, it’s unusual for Eleonorneesan to show interest in this sort of thing, so I guess they want to buy it for her.

「Okay. Thank you!」

After thanking the two, Eleonorneesan returns to Tornell and Kuina.

「And so, I would like to buy this, can you sell it to me?」

「Y, yes, of course, is what I would like to say, though.....」

Kuina happily replied Eleonorneesan’s question, but she, along with Tornell,  has a difficult expression on their faces.

「What is it?」

「Umm, I don’t know the price for it」

「Is it because you don’t know how much about the value of the original material for the fang?」

「Yes, that’s right」

Kuina solemnly nods when I ask.

「They are this beautiful after all. I can’t imagine them being cheap」

It’s just as Eric says. I don’t think such transparent and beautiful things will end up with a price of just copper or silver coins. Rather, when you consider things like Kuina’s design and the cost of materials, just the cost of the pendant alone makes the price jump up to gold coins.

「Tousan, kaasan, do you know what kind of monsters this came from?」

After Eleonorneesan asks them, Nord-tousan and Elnkaasan come closer and look at the main fang.

「Hmーm, it is certainly a monster’s fang but I don’t know what kind of monster it was」

「Sea monsters have more mysteries surrounding them compared to land monsters, and there are still a lot of them remaining undiscovered」

Apparently, even Nord-tousan and Elnkaasan - who've had numerous adventures - also do not know about it. Oh well, unless they have things to do, ordinary people wouldn’t go out to the sea anyway, to say nothing of fighting on the sea, where the monsters are more dangerous than the monsters on land I don’t think people want to have anything to do with them. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com

Maybe Tori, Silver Wind members, or Douglas - who does business on his ship - might know if I ask them.

「How much do you think it is, according to your judgment, shopkeeper?」

「Hmー, it is difficult. I have not seen any of the sorts before.....」

When Nord-tousan asks him, Tornell’s dad also came over and makes a difficult face.

Be that as it may, it’s also difficult for us to name a price if even the shopkeeper doesn’t set the price.

「Judging from the material’s beauty, I’d say it is around ten gold coins.....」

Tornell’s dad cites a price with a nervous expression on his face while taking a quick look at Nord-tousan’s expression.

It was plain to see that he had quoted a considerably low price while worrying about us.

He doesn’t want to overcharge a noble who came from outside of the territory.

「No, it should be higher than that. The monster material itself is a rare one so it should have a price as befits of that」

「Right. Although I can not give an accurate judgment over its price, it is possible for it to be worth around three hundred golds coins from this fang alone」

「「Three hundred gold coins!?」」

Hearing Elnkaasan’s words, everyone except Egar-san and Natashsan was surprised.

「Ara, it’s a rare monster material you see, so it’s natural for it to have that much of a value, you know? But if you put it in another way, it is that difficult to obtain the material normally」

「E, excuse me but, may I ask how much were the fangs the two of you get from subduing the Dragon.....?」

Eric involuntarily asks while gulping after hearing Elnkaasan’s explanation.

I’m also interested in that. I wonder how much the legendary Dragon Fangs are worth?

Before I knew it, everyone inside the shop was looking at the two of them.

Then, Nord-tousan shrugs his shoulder, looking uncomfortable, and says,

「When we exchanged it for money, one fang was around three black gold coins, I think?」

「「Oooooh」」

Everyone inside the shop was shouting in amazement at the price.

A single Dragon fang worth thirty million yen (around $220.800). It should be the reason why a lot of people dream of becoming adventurers.

From a person who thought that it would be enough to just break one fang to people who are going to turn into dead people. No matter what, I would never turn into an adventurer who would risk my life doing something like that.

Building houses to easily earn money by renting them, transporting ingredients using Teleport magic, or reselling them, they are much easier. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com

「Nonetheless, it looks like it was difficult for them to put a price on the fangs since there was almost no precedent of Dragon fangs being sold in Misphilt Kingdom」

I guess, that’s true. You’ll just become stumped if you were to suddenly told to put a price on the Dragon fangs. Even someone who is experienced in judging an item’s price would not know if the price is right.

「For a single fang to be priced at that amount, you can use that to keep playing around for generations, isn’t it」

「Mu? Don’t tell me, you don’t know?」

What? So they can still live with enough to spare even without the revenue from Reversi and the like, right? As I muttered while thinking of such a thing, Eric knitted his eyebrows.

「What is it?」

「It’s a story about what happened after Nord-sama and Elnsama defeated the Dragon」

「「「Details please」」」

Hearing Eric’s answer, I, Eleonorneesan, and Mina eagerly draw near him.

Didn’t the story of Dragon Slayer end when Nord-tousan and Elnkaasan became noble back then?

「The both of them, they presented most of the Dragon materials to the King to help in reconstructing the royal capital. So the fame of Dragon Slayer in the royal capital is deeply rooted among the people due to their heroic-like activities」

Hearing what Eric said, we immediately look toward Nord-tousan and Elnkaasan.

The two of them look embarrassed and turn their eyes away, but they didn’t deny the story.

Amazing. My own father and mother are heroes from a tale. No wonder they are terribly popular in the royal capital. I mean, if you do that even I will become a fan, y’know.

「……by the way, we have a book in our library where there is a detailed episode that is not depicted in the royal capital’s play」

「Please lend me that later」

Lunsan nodded when I secretly ask her. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com

With this, I will know a lot more about Nord-tousan and Elnkaasan’s past.

「Ra, rather than talking about those things, we should be talking about the pendant’s price」

Nord-tousan cough and tries to return to the topic at hand while looking embarrassed.

「Shopkeeper, for now, how about 40 gold coins?」

「40 gold coins!? I, I wonder if that’s okay? You might get them somewhere else at a lower cost price though?」

「That does not matter. We set the price after judging the pendant. I will not complain about it even if the cost price is cheap. Conversely, if the true value of the item turns out to be higher than that price, then I will pay for your loss at that time」

「Y, yes! Thank you very much! K. Kuina, give the noble-samas the pendant’s box and the method to do maintenance on it!」

「U, un, okay!」

Instructed by their father, Kuina nods and brought back a pretty box case from the inner shelf.

「That’s amazing. The item you two made is sold」

「O, ou. I still can’t believe the pendant Kuina and I made would have such a price.....」

「U, un. I’m also.....very happy」

Tornell expresses his feeling while dumbfounded, as for Kuina she looks shy when I said that.

And then Kuina brings a cleaning cloth and a small bottle of liquid of some kind to do maintenance on the pendant.

Those are probably maintaining tools to keep the pendant clean.

「E, Eleonorsama. May I explain how to maintain the pendant?」

「Wait a minute. I’m worried if I can understand it alone, so Al and Mina should also come here and listen with me」

When Kuina asks her that, Eleonorneesan turned to us as her hands froze holding them. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com

In spite of ourselves, I and Elnkaasan couldn’t help but be amazed after hearing those remarks of hers.
