The Great Sage Who Did not Remain in Legend - 40.3

“Then, I’ll rely on you.”

“Alright, come to our house first thing tomorrow morning.”

“Got it.”

“Mergin, are you buying Iris’s clothes?”

Rikka asked with dissatisfaction.

“He doesn’t have parents and not only lacks money but even has debts, so it can’t be helped, right?”

Rikka grumbled that it was none of Mergin’s business.

“What’s the name of Cisco’s family’s trading company?”

Rose asked Cisco.

“It’s Fortnam Trading Company.”

“Fortnam? They have a store in the noble district as well. Cisco, you’re quite the daughter of a large trading company.”

“Even though I’m a commoner, I don’t like being in such a grand store.”

Wow, a trading company with a store in the noble district must be really expensive.

“Iris, about your clothes…”

“Ms. Cisco, you’re the daughter of a famous store, aren’t you? That’s amazing.”

Seeing Iris excitedly asking about the store and making it hard for Mergin to say she should use her current clothes, Mergin thought it was best to get new ones.

Leaving Rikka’s dining hall, they took Rose to the noble gate.

“Well then, good luck with the swordsmanship event. I won’t be able to come to cheer.”

“Yes, I’ll start mental training tonight and work hard to achieve good results.”

Rose clenched her fists and replied so.

—Knight Dormitory—

“You’re late.”

“It wasn’t that long, was it?”

Ortonen, who came to the room as soon as Rose returned.

“So, what did you talk about with him today?”

“Fufufu, that’s a secret. Maybe I’ll face Chii-niisama in the swordsmanship event.”

“Idiot. I’m a seed. You’d have to win at least once before facing me.”

“I’m aiming for victory. If Chii-niisama loses to someone, there won’t be a match.”

“Hah, victory. If you win, you might become captain before me.”

“Yes, I’m looking forward to making Chii-niisama my subordinate.”

Ortonen and Rose playfully sparred.

—The Next Day—

Mergin came to the house of the Star’s Guidance to be taken to Cisco’s family’s Fortnam.

“Iris, if you wear this, you won’t need to buy clothes from Cisco. How about it?”

Vanessa brought a crumpled dress-like thing.

Yeah, as Cisco said, it’s trash…

“Vanessa, I appreciate the gesture, but dressing her in clothes with holes…”

“Holes? There are no holes… Ahhh.”

It was probably left on the floor or something. Unfortunately, holes appeared on the butt area, likely due to insects.

“Oh, a perfect outfit for Vanessa who wants to show off her butt.”

“Who said I wanted to show my butt?”

The “Vanessa butt slime licking incident” will probably be teased forever.

“Throw away that trash quickly.”

“There might still be something to use it for.”

I see, Vanessa’s room and storage are probably full of things like this, thought Mergin.
