Volume 9 Chapter 18: Coins In His Eyes
"They have really changed everything about this," Keith lightly muttered.
The five were now in front of a building. There was a strange atmosphere going about here. You have Leon and Laura, who were happy after what had occurred in the park. Then there were Krystal, Carolyn, and May, who were a step behind the trio. And finally, you have Keith, who had a smile. Yet those eyes weren't smiling at all. He was looking to end people.
They wanted to be no part of what was about to happen next. Keith opened the door first,
"Welcome to-Hello! Keith!" Hugo was the one who greeted him. And he was also the first person to face the man's wraith.
"Hello, Hugo. But there are more important matters to deal with," Keith then pointed at the masks, "Explain that to me," They had those things hanging on a rack! Many were displayed for everyone to see; it was even more so when the kids were there.
"Oh," Hugo's eyes brightened, "Do you like it? It's been a hot commodity in the city."
"…Are you freaking serious? Who told you to make it?!" Around the city, he saw people wearing masks and posing like Masked Thief. It was quite a sight for sore eyes.
"Kid, why are you screaming when you come here?" The following person who came out was Orin.
"Orin, these-"
"Oh, the one who asked us was Coyler himself. The missy was also the one who requested it as well," Orin didn't hesitate to add.
"…" Keith's eyes then turned to May. The maid was looking so far away, trying to become air. Especially with him, since he had the "How could you betray me?" look. The glance from everyone had made her sigh. She muttered, "I couldn't help it, Young Master. It was quite beautiful."
"Say what?"
"What was worn during that incident became a huge hit."
“…”
"One of them is the wedding dress Princess Carolyn wore."
"Huh? It is?" Carolyn blinked. May nodded, "Apparently, the dress had been sold out, and people are even fighting for it."
“…”
"That's when a thought occurred; how about we sell the mask?" Coins. She could smell the coins coming from the mask. If they get a headstart, it would be great!
"..Uh," Keith was about to say when,
"We've made over 1 mithril coin in this last week from the mask," May added.
"…" Keith froze. Are you kidding me? Just from the mask alone?
"….Alright." Coins came first, and he didn't mind at all. There was no point as well since Keith couldn't stop it. It was too late.
"Spoken like a true businessman," Orin muttered.
Anyone could see the light coming from his eyes. But that only caused Keith to groan, "But now I wonder what the Philosopher Kingdom will think of this?"
"When are you worried about these things?" There was no point for him to worry since these things had always occurred.
"Um, not worried. I want to see how the king would spit blood again?" The thought of Harold spitting blood out was quite funny.
"Hmm? How does Big Brother know the king?"
"Oh, that's because there's a recording."
"Ah!"
"…" You're really going to lie through your teeth like that, huh?
"So, did you come here to buy some things?"
"Nah, just to have them look around. Also, I wanted to see how everyone is doing." It had been some time since he met them.
"And you guys really changed by a mile." This was the truth.
"Business had been booming." Orin's shop only advanced. The stores had grown huge and larger than anything before. Moreover, they changed its name; it was now named Ignis's Hammer.
"When did you guys cater to kids now?" The mask was a surprise; Orin was not the type to deal with kids.
"We thought it would be interesting. We've been making some toys and also practice weapons for them to use."
"Enough about that. Where's the arm guard I made for you?" The boy was not wearing one right now.
"It got blown up when I faced the S-rank boss," Keith shrugged. The raptor had bitten through the guard like it was nothing. And its claw tore through it like butter.
Scrap metal. That was the only thing left.
"Wait, do you still have the hide?" Orin's eyes brightened. Hugo did the same as well. S-rank boss? Hearing this made them eager!
Same as Dalen's face. They were definitely brothers. Keith nodded, "I do have some of the hide. Do you also want the raptor variant as well?"
"Yes!" Was there even a need to ask something like that?!
And like so, the two materials appeared on the table.
"I had given some to Dalen and his men."
"Damn, Brother," Orin's expression turned jealous and envious. He definitely took the good pieces. However,
"This is quite big as well. Want me to make a good arm guard again?" The amount before them was still more than enough for them.
"Sure. Can you make two? Like one for outside and the other for indoors." That would be easy for him.
"Sure."
"Also, I might need your help on something later."
"Eh?" Now, it was the other's turn to tilt their heads. What are you planning to build this time? Keith shook his head, "I will keep this a secret. I need someone else to help me out on this. This is more of his expertise than mine."
If he could ask him about this, everything would be good to go!
"Sure, I'm always interested in what kind of things you will build afterward," Orin laughed. One of the joys about the kid was his ideas that came from his mind.
