Chapter 105

TL: Zimming

Me and the chairman were looking at Lane, who was explaining the situation.

“When I met the Duchess of Vallua, she had already receive 1 million francs each from the church and Duke Marche. I thought I have to give her 3 million francs from master’s money…!”

“So, you did it on your own.”

As the chairman looked into his eyes, Lane pointed at him.

“But he didn’t answer my call. Master, it’s not my fault…! It’s all because of that stupid old man!”

I shook my head when I saw how Lane is acting.

I bought the ball jointed doll Lane five years ago, he was produced with a huge cost.

Ball jointed dolls are a very special tool that only a few people could have in this world.

The production itself used an enormous amount of magic and it could be used as a weapon of war.

For this reason, the chairman had to use two years to find someone who was willing to produce the dolls.

“Your master is very lucky. I put a very special object on the doll this time. A special object that is different from the dolls I’ve made so far.”

The producer who said so demanded more than three times the market price.

‘When I first heard the chairman, I was going to refuse.’

Being a buyer of a new product was not necessarily a good thing. There was a risk.

Nevertheless, the reason why I bought it was because of the new doll’s function he offered.

Usually, while controlling a ball jointed doll, the puppeteer must concentrate and give a big amount of mana, but the new doll can move on its own.

‘…he could really act on his own.’

Me and the chairman were surprised to hear about it.

The producer received a lot of money and completed it, but when he finished it, it must have been a defective product.

Lane could only move if I gave him my divine power. But I couldn’t keep doing it.

‘A ball jointed doll could be destroyed by destroying its core. So it will recover itself even if it breaks down without it’s core broken.’

I know what special item that the doll owner put in him.

‘This thing will be used by the enemy as a final weapon in a war…’

The thing was very hard to destroy until Adrian destroyed its core.

These creatures were made out of evil spirits…

I thought that I needed to educate the doll, but it seemed that I didn’t need to because it is very smart.

I grinned inwardly.

If he got caught, it would be really messy, but Lane is still useful in either way.

“I missed you, my master.”

There was only one weakness he had. He’s incredibly foolish in front of me.

I was used to his attitude already.

“I need to check the situation first.”

“Yes.”

The chairman replied to me as he grabbed Lane’s shoulders.

“Take off your hands off old man!”

“I’ll destroy your core someday”

“Huh? I’ll kill you before that!”

“Who taught you that…!”

I shouted sternly, pushing both Lane and Chairman who were staring at each other fiercely.

“You’ll get in trouble if you both fight again!”

“It’s my mistake, master.”

“……”

Sighing, I held Lane’s hand, which stopped moving.

As always, I could see what Lane had experienced while I was away.

“The rate is 40 percent in 10 days? Isn’t that too much?”

“But, honey, if we get the money from the Duke of Marche, it’ll be solved soon. Even the operating costs of the mansion wouldn’t be enough right now without Sir Lane’s help…!”

“Sir? Sir Lane? That’s ridiculous!”

It was a quarrel between Duke and Duchess of Vallua.

“How can I accept this…”

“Don’t you like it?”

“I like it, but I’ve never worn a necklace with so many big diamonds.”

“The Duke of Vallua must be so stingy.”

The Duchess of Vallua fell in love with Lane.

“Oh my god, I’ve never been to a casino before.”

“You’re great for a first timer. Look, even people are surprised.”

“It’s fun.”

Lane rented the whole casino and the people in it to praise her. The Duchess now think gambling is fun because of it.

I nodded after letting go of Lane’s hand.

“Okay, good job.”

“Right~?”

Lane laughed as he raised his head confidently.

“She totally enjoyed gambling.”

The Duchess of Vallua in my second life also gambled away her fortune.

‘I’ve just made the event that will happen in five years faster.’

I nodded my head.

“Give her a lot of presents and spread the rumours, okay?

“Yes! I’ll do a great job!”

“That’s right, Lane is very kind.”

“My master is very kind too!”

The chairman shook his head when he saw his evil master and the evil doll smiling at each other, calling each other kind.

***

A few days later, the Duchess of Vallua headed to the racetrack with Leblaine’s ball-jointed doll, Lane.

After a few races, the Duchess of Vallua said,

“Oh my god. I bought a ticket as Sir Lane recommended, and everything succeeded!”

“We’re just lucky.”

Lane grinned and offered her iced tea.

“That’s it for today, let’s go back. You seem to have won quite a bit of money.”

The Duchess of Vallua looked at the bulletin board and gulped.

‘There’s only one big match left.’

The eyes of the Duchess glistened with greed.

“One last time.”

“This race is hard for you. We couldn’t predict anything.”

“…I’ll go with the gale again.”

She chose a horse that won six times out of nine races.

The Duchess of Vallua borrowed a large sum of money from Lane and bought a lot of tickets.

And the race had started.

The gale ran as the lead.

“Run, great!”

However, the brown horse soon catched up to the gale.

There was a fight between the riders. The gale and brown horse, which were running as if they were threatening each other, now fell side by side.

All of the other horses were tripped by the fallen horse.

A spotted white horse, which was running last, sprang up among the horses running around and jumped over the fallen horse.

“No way!”

The Duchess of Valois screamed.

The spotted white horse was the winner.

The Duchess collapsed with a piece of paper and a piece of cardboard in her hand.

Lane, who saw her pale face, put a coat on her shoulders.

“I said to go back didn’t I?”

“My money, my money…”

“There will be another good opportunity.”

He already spent his master’s 200,000 francs today.

Everything was going as Leblaine expected.

The Duchess of Vallua, who had won quick money in several races, lost her reasons and borrowed a large sum of money from Lane again.

The accumulated amount she borrowed from Lane was almost 3 million francs.

“It’s hard to make money, but it’s really easy to spend it.”

The doll who recalled his master’s words laughed.

***

I gazed at the pile of gold coins Seria brought with joy.

I hugged the gold coin boxes.

‘Good job, Spotted white horse!’

She remembered today’s race much more clearly than any other day.

No one expected the result. It was the first time that the spotted white horse won the race.

Not a single person bought a betting ticket on the horse. So everything becomes mine.

“Ahhh!”

I rubbed my cheek against the gold coin and screamed happily.

The chairman and Seria laughed at me.

“Don’t you have enough money?”

I looked at the chairman in surprise.

“The more money the better.”

Seria nodded and agreed.

“She’s right, being rich is nice.”

I took some of the gold coins and handed over the rest to Seria.

“Keep it and lend it to the Duchess of Vallua.”

“Yes, by the way, the special jewels and minerals you mentioned last time were stored in the warehouse. Would you like to see it?”

“Yes.”

I took Seria’s hand and headed for the warehouse. The chairman came after us.

When the warehouse opened, it was full of luxurious jewels and unusual minerals.

‘That’s incredible.’

It is worth spending that much money.

I crouched in front of the mineral, looked at them one by one and put them back.

Seria asked with a puzzled look.

“What are you going to do with them?”

I replied, looking into an unusually bright mineral.

“I’ll call out the devil.”

“Huh?!”

As the chairman said, my ability is dangerous. It would be dangerous if I accidently called another devil again.

So I have to call out to them myself.

‘I wish I would get a good devil like Boone again this time.’

I grinned and gave the mineral my divine power.
