How the Reincarnation Seat Destroys the Original - Chapter 5



Only Noblemtl

Episode 5. His spending habits.

“huh?”

Mabel, who followed Kael out of the room, let out a curious noise when she felt something wrapping around her wrist, and her already round eyes widened like a rabbit’s.

The child raised his arms.

A thin wrist with a darker purple string of the same color was reflected in the pale purple eyes.

The string that had been wrapped around one wrist was wrapped around another wrist. The one followed by the child standing in front of the stairs. Kael’s wrist.

“What is this?”

“magic.”

Of course, Mabel knew it was magic.

There’s no way the string could come alive and tie itself around my wrist and his. Right? This is a fantasy world. How could it be possible?

“If other people see me, they’ll mistake me for a kidnapper?”

– Dododo.

Mabel approached Kael and spoke while staying close to him. He responded in a blunt voice to the child’s words, which were half-concerned and half-joking.

“Other people can’t see it, so there won’t be any unnecessary misunderstandings.”

After he finished speaking, he went down the stairs, and Mabel, who was looking at the long purple string, seemed curious. When she saw the string hanging from her wrist, she followed him as it grew longer and longer.

The first place he headed to after leaving the inn was a restaurant. It was a restaurant that seemed to be famous in the town, with people waiting for dinner. Kael passed by the people waiting and opened the restaurant’s door.

“Do you have a reservation? If not, I’m sorry, but there are no seats available. Could you please take a waiting ticket and wait for a moment?”

A waiter at the restaurant approached him with a friendly smile, and Kael handed him a gold coin instead of answering.

The employee, seeing the shiny gold coin, stepped aside with a brighter smile than before and said:

“Aha! You have a reservation! We have reserved seats for you! One adult and one child. Let me help you!”

Mabel quickly grabbed Kael’s sleeve and asked him, feeling his attitude change.

“Did we make a reservation?”

“no.”

“But why did you make a reservation… Ah!”

The child nodded in understanding as he looked at the waiting staff who were looking at them with hot gazes through the window leading outside the restaurant.

As the employee said, strangely enough, the seat was empty, and the employee, with his hands clasped together, opened his mouth.

“Our restaurant cooks only with carefully selected ingredients from the ingredients that arrived that day. For today’s recommended menu, if you prefer meat, we recommend the tender veal steak with red wine sauce. If you prefer fish, we recommend the salmon steak, which is red salmon cooked with herbs at low temperature for a long time so that you can enjoy it without any fishy smell.”

As if he had memorized it perfectly, Kael lightly tapped the table as Mabel’s eyes lost focus at the flowing explanation.

“I am meat!”

At that sound, Mabel cried out, and Kael recited a spell.

“Two veal steaks. One salmon steak. Is red wine the only sauce for veal steaks?”

“We also have a demi-glace sauce for younger guests.”

“Then, one as is, and one with demi-glace sauce, please.”

“Yes. Two veal steaks. One with demi-glace sauce, please. One salmon steak, please?”

As he nodded, Mabel rested her chin on her hand while the waiter left to deliver the order. Her cheek, pressed against her hand, puffed out slightly, as if she had gained a little more weight than before.

“There really was an empty seat. I was worried that someone else might have taken it.”

“Remember, these restaurants sometimes leave seats empty on purpose. If they react like this every time, it’ll be awkward.”

“But Kael.”

Kael’s dark purple eyes, which seemed to show a hint of fatigue, turned to Mabel, and she nodded her head and playfully called his name in time with the beat.

“Kael. Kael.”

“Money is overflowing.”

It was so obvious what he would say next. Kael answered sharply. The cheek that was pushed up by the palm of his hand puffed out a little more. He put down the hand that was resting his chin and pouted.

“But Kael is a Viscount. Isn’t a Viscount considered low in the nobility class?”

“Fortunately, the noble class seems to know.”

“I have experience writing web novels!!!”

“It seems that you don’t know much about the Damie family.”

“I know! Damier of Prophecy!”

Mabel immediately refuted, but Kael’s response, which was a mocking “Pick,” was extremely cold.

“Do you know why the Count Damier is called the Prophet Damier?”

“Um… because you know the future?”

It seemed like it would be a while before the food came out, so he figured it would be better than having a pointless conversation. He decided to open his mouth.

“That part is somewhat correct. Generally, it is a name given to it because most of the investments made by the author Damie, as if he had seen the future, ended up earning a lot of money.”

From real estate such as mines or land.

Arts, culture, and other businesses.

Damie’s investments, regardless of the type of stock, have never failed.

No wonder the saying came about that if you need money urgently, you should invest in the same place that Damie Jasukga invested in.

But the author Damie was not so easy-going, and when several, no, many people tried to invest with him, the author deliberately reached out to investment companies that were going to fail, and even published false information in articles.

There were also many people who went bankrupt after investing in such self-made men.

“If that’s the case, then it’s really bad.”

Mabel muttered after hearing Kael’s explanation, and the person who said ‘it was bad’ answered calmly after hearing her mutter.

“Investing is like stocks. A famous person buys that stock, or you buy that stock because there’s a good news article. Whether you make a profit or lose money, it’s entirely your own responsibility.”

“That’s true….”

“Anyway. So don’t worry about spending money. If you keep reacting like that every time you spend this much money after joining Damie’s household, it’ll be a problem.”

“It’s difficult,” Mabel grumbled.

“If anyone saw it, they would think that the Countess Damier had more money than His Majesty the Emperor.”

“That’s right. They said that if the national treasury runs low, they will confiscate the assets of the Damie family.”

The child opened his mouth at the reply to his useless grumbling.

Really?

If you just listen to what he says, it’s like the emperor really said that… No, don’t think about it. I’m an 8-year-old child. I don’t have to think about such complicated things.

Mabel rationalized to herself.

Fortunately, the story didn’t get any more complicated because the employee who guided them, pulling a trolley with plates of food, approached them.

“Your order of two veal steaks and one salmon steak has arrived.”

A dish was placed in front of each of them, and the employee who had left a salad as a service bowed his head and stepped aside.

Kael took the plate of steak covered in brown demi-glace sauce from the plate in front of Mabel, cut it into bite-size pieces for the child, and placed it back in front of her.

Mabel blinked at the action that was so natural, and Kael said indifferently at her gaze.

“Don’t eat.”

“thank you for this food!”

They say even Mt. Geumgang looks better after a meal.

I won’t think of anything else when I have food in front of me!

Mabel, holding a child’s fork in her hand, dug deep into a piece of steak. Despite the dull blade of the child’s fork, the fork cut into the meat without resistance.

A piece of meat went into the child’s spread mouth, soaking up the moist sauce. I was worried that it might be salty, but to my surprise, the sauce that touched my tongue was not salty and was just sweet enough.

“Ugh!!!”

Mabel’s eyes grew wide as she chewed the meat, and they sparkled brightly.

The moment I chewed it, the taste of the bursting meat juice and sauce was better than the food I had at home.

To be exact, considering Mabel’s physical condition and age, the liver wasn’t that strong. But there was no way the child would know the chef’s unspoken circumstances.

“Hmm! Hmm!!!”

Mabel’s fork moved, pointing to Kael’s plate of steak, still untouched.

At the urging gesture to eat quickly, Kael cut the steak and took a bite, and before he knew it, the child who had swallowed the piece of steak asked.

“How is it?! It’s delicious!!!”

“It’s not bad for a place in a town like this.”

As the cold evaluation returned, Mabel began to eat her share of steak in silence, her face steaming.

Kael, who was watching the steak disappear quickly, cut up a salmon steak and placed it in front of the child on the appetizer plate the waiter had given him to eat the salad on.

“Ouch… salmon!!! Thank you!!!”

“If someone saw you, they’d think you were stealing it. Eat slowly. If you vomit unnecessarily, you’ll be late for the schedule.”

“Kael is the type that always adds one more word to a sentence and then gets angry?”

“You’re not eating?”

“Giving and then taking is the worst thing.”

“There are a lot of bad things.”

As brief conversations were exchanged, the two men emptied their portions of food so cleanly that there was no need to wash the dishes.

“Have you had a satisfying meal?”

“The child ate it with pleasure.”

“Thank goodness! The price is 2 silver coins for each steak, making a total of 6 silver coins!”

Without even looking at the receipt the employee brought, Kael placed two gold coins on the table.

“One gold coin is a tip.”

At Kael’s words, the employee quickly took a gold coin and put it in his pocket, as if he was afraid someone would see it. It was a movement that made it difficult to even see his hands properly.

“I don’t need change.”

“I’ll make sure to pass this on to the chef!”

The two people who were escorted to the restaurant door were able to finish their satisfying dinner.

– Chubby.

“I’m so full! Kael, are you going back to the inn right away?”

“No, I have a place to stop for a moment, so follow me.”

“Come on~.”

Mabel’s steps were light as she felt full and happy. After leaving the restaurant, Kael headed to a store that sold bedding.

There he bought two sets of the most expensive bedding and a thick cushion and rug for the sofa, then went to the store next door and bought some lightweight clothes that Mabel could wear alone.

“From here. All the way there.”

“Wow… I never thought the day would come when I would actually hear this line. As expected, the world is something you only see if you live long enough…”

“The change is fine….”

“Just give it to me! Please deduct the price of that small bag over there!”

He paid all the money in gold coins and refused to accept change in silver or copper coins. However, Mabel, who bought a side-bag with the change, collected the change without fail.

“Is it really necessary to increase the luggage?”

“You don’t have any luggage! And don’t you know the saying, “Many a little makes a mickle”? I know Kael has a lot of money, but wasting money isn’t good!”

As Mabel said, they bought a lot of things, but their hands were light. This was because Kael had put all the things in with his ‘other-space’ magic.

After hearing three times that he had a bad day, he returned to the inn and changed the bedding. After washing up, Mabel lay down on the fluffy bedding.

The child looked at Kael, holding a pillow filled with fluffy cotton in his arms.

“why.”

“Just. You worked hard today too! Kael!”

“… Nonsense. Go do it yourself.”

“I was going to sleep well anyway! Sleep well!”

And so the first day in the village came to an end.
