When I left Tsubaki's blacksmith shop again, the sky was already full of twinkling stars.

Walking under the night sky, Ron began to calculate his future income.

"The magic sword commonly sold in the market costs about 1 million Valis each."

"For a top-notch magic sword like the [Crozzo Magic Sword], the price can be raised to over 3 million Valis."

"However, due to the curse of the spirit, a magic sword of this level has not appeared on the market for a long time."

"If a magic sword that surpasses the [Crozzo Magic Sword] appears, and with Tsubaki's reputation as a guarantee, the price of each sword can be auctioned off to between 6m and 8m Valis."

"However, in order to borrow Tsubaki's reputation and connections, I had to give up 40% of the profits related to the magic sword. In the end, my monthly income was only around 12 million."

"And I need about 15 million Valis every month to buy the panacea."

Overall, the current income is still not enough.

This is just the money for purchasing medicine, and there will be additional expenses such as purchasing new base.

In order to make himself live more comfortably, he must earn more money.

but...

Ron, who has read the original novel, knows very well that there is a madman in Orario today who wants to destroy this place.

Of course, the most troublesome thing is the female elf named Filvis Challia who is under the opponent's command.

After she use her all strength, the combat power is at least at the top LV.7 level.

When the gap between them became too big, no matter how skilled he was, he couldn't fight the opponent head-on with his current physical condition.

In order to prevent himself from making too many new magic swords and being targeted by the enemy, he had to limit the number to three.

In other words, the income from the new magic sword could not continue to increase, and he had to find new ways to make money.

[What a bunch of idiots! Lili got what she wanted so easily! ]

"Um?"

Just when Ron was thinking about whether to enter the potion industry next, the wind in his ears suddenly brought him an interesting sound.

Looking at the narrow alley beside him, Ron felt that countless ideas suddenly popped up in his mind and fell into deep thought.

After a while, a smile suddenly appeared on his face.

As the saying goes, the accumulation of primitive capital is always bloody.

Since we want to complete the initial accumulation, the best way is naturally to plunder.

"I lived in ease for too long in my previous life. It seems my thinking is still limited."

Shaking his head helplessly, Ron, who had never thought of this shortcut at first, walked towards the dark alley in front of him.

"To thank you for your reminder, I will kindly help you."

...

In the dark alley, several figures of different heights were moving quickly, chasing the petite figure in front.

"Stop! You little bastard!"

"Stop it if you can!"

"Don't let me catch you! Otherwise I will beat you to death, you bastard!"

...

"What a bunch of idiots, how could Lili stop?"

Listening to the curses coming from behind, a cat- girl carrying a large backpack and wearing a cloak was moving forward quickly in front.

Unlike the group of pursuers behind her, she had traveled through this alley countless times and had already memorized the specific terrain.

After twists and turns, she successfully got rid of the other person at a corner and found a secluded place to hide.

"Huh~ I finally got rid of it."

After putting down the backpack on her shoulders and confirming that there were no enemies chasing her, the girl breathed a sigh of relief.

Closing her eyes silently, she sang softly.

"The sound of apocalypse at twelve o'clock."

The magic spell was broken, and the cat- girl's appearance began to change.

The cat ears standing upright on the head disappeared, and the cat tail swaying behind it also vanished into thin air.

The girl, who originally looked like a cat-girl, changed into the appearance of a dwarf person in an instant.

In other words, this is the original appearance of the girl named Liliruca Arde.

"After i changed back to my original appearance, those guys couldn't recognize Lili at all."

"But in order to prevent any accidents, Lili still have to leave as soon as possible..."

"You don't have to worry about that."

Just as Lili was about to leave as planned, a voice suddenly came from the corner.

"When I came here just now, I pointed those guys in the wrong direction."

"Even if you stay here, they won't be able to find you."

"?!"

Lili, who had already put on her backpack, suddenly froze.

The next moment, she stomped her feet on the ground and ran as hard as she could towards the exit of the alley not far away.

but...

Just when her body was about to reach the exit, a hand suddenly reached out from behind, grabbed her collar and pulled her back.

"Really? I don't eat people. Why are you so scared?"

Turning his head slightly to the right to avoid the arrow shot from the opponent's sleeve, Ron spoke calmly.

"I advise you to stop those little actions of yours."

"I don't mind attacking me or anything like that."

"But if you make me smell strange, I'll really do it."

"Lili understands."

Putting down the smelly bag that appeared in her hand out of nowhere, Lili, who understood her every move, was silent for a moment and gave up resisting.

Although the contact lasted only a few seconds, everything that had just happened had made her realize how difficult the other person was.

Years of survival experience have taught her that it is better to obey the other party's opinions and listen to their purpose than to continue to resist and make the other party angry.

"It seems you are smarter than I thought."

After putting Lili down from mid-air, Ron showed a smile on his face.

"I know what you're thinking right now."

"In order to prevent you from thinking too much and not hearing what I'm going to say, I'll tell you first."

"I've been here since the beginning. I saw everything you said after you showed up, as well as the transformation magic."

"Oh, yes."

As if he had thought of something, Ron added an extra sentence.

"I know everything you did before."

"I'm referring to the time when you used transformation magic to get close to adventurers and then stole their things."

"If you don't want these things to be exposed, you'd better cooperate a little bit~"

Lili: "…"
