Pointed by Milfa was a splendid house that’s quite far from the center of the city.
「I think that this house satisfies Souta-san condition. there is a bath installed even though you still need to draw the water yourself using the well in the back.」
Souta’s eyes sparkled with excitement.
「That is great, Let’s go in!」
Milfa opens the door with the key.
When opening the front door, there is a spacious entrance hall, a door leading to the left and right rooms, a corridor leading to the back, and a big staircase leading to the second floor.
Explain Milfa using the rough sketch of the house.
Souta goes into the living room and Kitchen while looking around.
「It’s fine, it’s good enough for me.」
Milfa almost smiles broadly when looking at Souta’s delighted expression.
After checking the room in the first floor, the toilet and the bath, they come back to the entrance hall.
Souta was pretty satisfied with the bath because it reminds him of the high-quality cypress bath in Japan.
As Milfa walked in front of Souta to lead him to the second floor, her expression was relaxed and she began to smile.
「There are only private rooms on the second floor, two of the smaller bedrooms is as big as the big bedrooms.」
「How is it? It have more room than what Souta-san want.」
「It’s great, I don’t mind having a lot of rooms, more than anything, the bath is great, and the toilet is made of magical tools that keep it clean.」
「… The problem is the amount of money … No way I can not afford it, even though it’s far from center of the city, it’s still more of a mansion than a house.」
Milfa takes out the document from the bag.
「Let’s see… … after calculating everything, the final cost of this place can be called free.」
「The original amount is 1200 gold coins, discounted to 1000 gold coins by the guild master’s mediation, from there, adding our sincerity, the cost is cut by another 800 gold coins making it only 200 gold coins.」
「That amount of discount is odd …… 1000 gold coins sincerity was unexpected.」
Guran’s expectations for Souta-san.」
「I appreciated it, but I still can’t pay 200 gold coins.」
「Ummm, but it’s a nice house.」
Milfa says it reluctantly.
「Looking from your expression looks like it’s not an easy request, I guess it will be appropriate for 200 gold coins.」
「Yeah … that’s right, honestly, I won’t recommend it, it’s too dangerous.」
Watching Souta that seems motivated to do it, Milfa answer while sighing.
「Hahh~, it will be troublesome. Ohh well, let’s go then.」
Souta also sighs.

Guild Master Room
Souta thought there was only Guran in the room, but other than Guran, there were an elderly man and his knight escort in the room.
「Oh, Souta huh? So you come again.」
Sweat running down on Guran’s cheeks because of Souta’s remark.
「I-I’m sorry. It might be roundabout, but I want you to see the house before you meet the client because it’s a special request.」
「Ahh, It’s fine. So is this gramps the client?」
The escort tries to take out the sword in his waist because of Souta’s rude remark, although Souta tries to intimidate him, the old man restrains the movement of the escort by his hand.
『You learned Intimidation skill』
「Please forgive my escort from his rude behavior…… Yes, I’m the client, my name is Elvas, for the time being, I’m the feudal lord of this territory. This is the knight that came as my escort, his name is Dan.」
「Ohh, so a noble, what kind of request you have despite having a strong knight like that?」
Sota arrogant attitude makes Dan irritated.
Dan didn’t try to use his sword this time, but he goes into the fighting stances in front of Souta. Elvas didn’t try to stop him this time.
Dan’s fuse blew up because Souta ignoring him and keep talking to Elvas.
Dan rise up his fist, but the hit never happens because Dan faints and collapses before his fist reach Souta.
Thud!
「Ho ho ho, Dan can’t do anything and faints, that is something that only Guran can do.」
As for Dan, Milfa casts recovery magic on him.
「It was just an intimidation, if he can’t bear with this amount of intimidation, you probably should refine the quality of the knight.」
He advances the talk without bothered that his men were injured.
Souta considering to reject the request if Elvas would get angry with this, but because he looks different than other noble that have high pride, Souta tried to listen to the request.
「Umu, at last, it seems to be possible to talk …… I have a granddaughter, her name is Elina. My sons and his wife died because of a disease, not long after she giving birth to Elina.」
Elvas told the story lightly, no hint of sadness show up on his face.
「That Elina catches the same disease as my sons. Do you know 『Stone Fever』? the body gets feverish and gets petrified gradually. On theory said it’s a circulatory disorder of magical powers.」
「Umu, Elina catch this disease one week ago, she will lose her life in about a month after being affected.」
Souta asks a question while furrowing his eyebrows.
I remembered the treatment. It was something called wonder drug, and the collection difficulty of the material to make that drug was high.
Souta had materials such as dragon’s nails and skin, but he did not have internal organs such as liver and heart.
Guran also lowers his head. Behind it, Milfa, and even Dan who woke up unnoticed has lowered his head.
「I apologize for a little while ago, so please accept Elvas’s request, I’m sure if it’s you……」
「…… I understand, I’m going to pick the request even if you don’t lower your head like that. So, do you know the location of the dragon?」
Milfa also chimes in.
「Because of that, I, as the guild master forbid the challenge of the mountain of death unless you have permission.」
「I-I know, you can be relieved because that house sale is controlled by the authority of Elvas and me.」
「Souta-san, please come back alive.」
「Yes, I will come back alive, there is no problem. Because there is some preparation to do, I will be going now.」
Following Elvas, other people also lower their heads again.
Looking at that, Souta went out of the room.
t/n: so do the translation quality increase? or is it decrease? it’s probably the best i can do,
also if you notice most of it in 3rd perspective? before this, some of the narration use I as subject, but now, it’s either subjectless or 3rd person, i just change the subjectless one into 3rd perspective.
like always, if you find any mistake or have some suggestion, just comment below
p/s: next is character introduction, I will post it together with chapter 15, it will be done in 48-72 hours, just like usual
