Episode 84
Episode 36. Compensation payment “Are you really okay? Even after committing such evil!?”
“It’s evil. Don’t beat the bad guy and come and make a small mistake and push him like that, Mr. Puang.”
When Yuma responded with a joke, Pouang was relieved.
“Huh, I’m glad. When I heard that Yuma-sama was taken to the open court today, I really thought, “It looks like the empire is going to get bloody sooner or later. There are real traitors out there.”
As soon as Yuma saw Puang, he dared to bring up the topic of ‘treason’.
It was because Cindy, a member of the Imperial Family Special Entrustment Corps, was listening to this story right next to her.
She pretends not to, but when Cindy hears the word treason, her ears perk up.
While Yuma was in Yoheim, Cindy, who had been handling business under me, was in a feverish state because she had not heard any news.
Therefore, Yuma’s statement that ‘the treason is separate’ was to be conveyed to the empress. And the empress would naturally be conscious of this remark.
He did not say that the first princess, Zishka, was suspected. If the empress heard the story, nothing good would come of it.
Instead, he added a few words subtly alluding to the Rollmandy family. After hearing about what had happened until today, Pouang put on a pipe with his face pale.
Secron Punishment New demon tribe Aman Jobing’s teleportation gateway Terror Public Trial Dungeon… It
was just a story from another world that was far from the usual work of the upper ranks.
I couldn’t understand why this person kept doing what he was doing when all he had to do was eat well and live well.
‘No matter how much I think about it, the contract with Yuma-sama at that time was not a toast, but a toast…
But I didn’t hate that. Poin himself was now classifying Yuma as a close friend rather than a simple contractual relationship.
He, too, lost his family early and started from the bottom to rise to the top. To Puang, Yuma was like a family member.
Anyway, thanks to Yuma, didn’t he earn money several times better than he did when he was always beaten by money and nobility?
Now, the Puang Merchant was the best in the empire. It has become a huge capital power enough to increase a few more local branches.
“What am I going to do?”
“Please prepare a large amount of compensation. very quickly From now on, money will buy public opinion.”
“It looks rough. It will be compensation for those who have been harmed by this terrorism, right?”
“you’re right. It’s money earned for this. Compensation will start tomorrow. I will only attend the first day.”
There were quite a few destroyed buildings, so it was obvious that a considerable amount would be spent.
But it was never a loss.
With this incident, it was possible to publicize the capital power of the Puang Merchant Merchant and at the same time to evaluate Yuma and the Merchant Merchant.
The amount of damages was a large amount by general standards, but it wasn’t that big of a sum from Yuma or Puang’s point of view. Due to the magic crystal income, money was overflowing.
In addition, exclusive sales rights for the magic bombardment amplifier developed by Adeline Woods and the wide-area shield developed by Cahel Povian remained.
“Let’s spray it hot. so that there is no back talk. And secretly deliver three sacks of gold coins to Mars, an officer in the Cindy Guards.”
Before meeting Yuma, Pouang’s intelligence power came from orphans in the capital. As such, as soon as Pouang returned to the upper ranks, word of the reward spread among the many orphans he supported.
Employees at the Puang Merchant Company ran around sweating their feet to post the notice Cindy had made.
In just one day, rumors about compensation for the damages of this gateway incident spread all over the capital.
The garrison officer, Mars, was indeed a resourceful and flexible man.
After receiving the three sacks of gold coins delivered by Cindy, Mars went to the Selove Training Center, which temporarily became a reward point, the next day. With a few troops under his command.
“haha! A lot of people will come to get the reward, but I hope there won’t be any problems in the process! I took some kids out for security purposes.”
Mars had a bandage wrapped around his shoulder. I could feel a sense of humor in the way he spoke kindly, gently tying the tip of his mustache.
“Thank you Mars. This is how I owe you again.”
Yuma replied with a smile.
“haha! What’s your status! Then we’ll stand on one side I am the late Maui.”
He hadn’t bothered to come to the compensation office for the purpose of grabbing a few more pennies. It was to deepen his relationship with Yuma.
It was only natural for fights and disturbances to occur in the process of paying compensation.
-Why does that guy give more than me!?
My damage is worse! Can you see this? Because of the riot, my neck bones ■“…..
There must have been many people who told the truth in this way.
Of course, every time Yuma exuded an intimidating aura, the upper body guards or cellove units could step in and stop it.
But it was out of shape in many ways.
Having seen various human groups while serving in the garrison, Mars foresaw that this would happen.
If the garrison directly managed the compensation recipients, the probability of the truth occurring was reduced, and even if it did occur, it could be resolved legally and reasonably.
Yuma liked Mars quite a bit. He was much more suited to a middle manager than a tight-knit principled man like Jack.
Already at the entrance to the Shelob training grounds, a crowd of sea commoners was waiting.
While Yuma was running on roofs and damaging buildings, he had no recollection of hurting any common people.
“Let me in.”
As the iron gates of the training grounds split left and right, people scrambled to enter the training grounds. Among the commoners, nobles accompanied by servants were also visible.
Are they really compensating for this? Those who were looking bewildered were mixed with those who were flushed with the thought of trying to find out the truth somehow.
Clap!
The troops of Mars’ garrison stepped forward one step at a time facing each other. A road opened between the opposing garrison troops.
The soldiers held their spears in the center of their bodies with their chins high.
The spirit of some people who seemed to be screaming at any moment subsided in an instant.
In particular, even though no damage was done, the spirits of the bullies who came to demand compensation died.
Rather than being beaten by Yuma, it was to their advantage to look at the guards.
“Reward payments will be made over the next three days! Come in one by one, one by one!”
Shupin shouted. Cog passed the order number prepared in advance to the queue.
“I will pay the nobles’ compensation first! Nobles, please get out of here!”
The nobles slowly followed Spinin’s progress with a disapproving face.
Among them were members of the same family that had attended yesterday morning’s public trial and mocked Yuma.
‘Oh, two-headed bastards.’
In the first place, nobles with proper power or ability did not even come to receive such a reward.
It’s just a bunch of people gathered together.
There was no need to be lenient even to them.
Yuma sat and stared at the nobles who entered one by one.
None of the nobles argued that Yuma was being greeted while sitting.
“I am Romar Ain of the Ain family.”
It was the nobles who were the first to be rewarded.
“Tell me the details of the damage.”
Poin said softly.
“The roof of the Ain-ga building near the gateway has been completely torn off, and the top grade Silmar urn has been broken by the fallen roof fragment… “
Yes, I’ll give you two silver coins.
next person.”
Yuma held out a piece of cloth containing two silver coins.
‘Crazy, really crazy…
Mars and Poin thought to themselves.
He wasn’t crazy in the negative sense.
“Two silver coins? Are you kidding me?”
“Yeah, no kidding. The family head of the Ain family was Sir McGluff Ain, right? At the last banquet, you held my hand tightly and pretended to know me…
Is it because there are too many silver coins?”
No matter how long it seems, he was a commoner at least. Romar Ain could never have imagined in his life that he would be humiliated like this by commoners.
Even so, Romar could not challenge Yuma. The unknown sense of intimidation emanating from Yuma was forcing him to quietly disintegrate.
Romar took the two silver coins and left.
“Next minute.”
Yuma said while twisting her legs on the desk.
Originally, if you were a noble in your right mind, you should come to pay your soul like a boss, not to get a reward.
Even so, coming for a few pennies meant that they were nobles in name only, and Yuma did not need to be generous or formally bow down to them.
Yuma unified the rewards of nobles into two silver coins. No matter what the nobles told them about the damage, Yuma would only throw away two silver coins.
The nobles’ reward was over in an instant.
Among the commoners who were watching the process, those who came with impure intentions all returned. It was clear that even aristocrats would not have dog hair when they were in a yard where they couldn’t do tricks.
“Now let the commoners in.”
The commoners who had watched Yuma’s aloof attitude until just now seemed stunned.
They had never seen a commoner treat a nobleman like that.
Unlike Yuma, to common people, nobles
were just ‘high-ranking people’.
There was no need to argue about who was from which family and which family was strong. You just have to boil it down.
Even the nobles treated him so harshly, but he wondered how bad it would be to them.
“Well, I am a shoemaker in Hale Market
.”
“That… Yuma-sama didn’t directly damage it… The guards chasing Yuma-sama trampled on my seat, and most of the shoes for sale and repairs were damaged.”
Margan had her head down.
Yuma lowered her leg on the desk and examined Margan’s hand.
My hands, which had been hard and blistered from mending my shoes every day, were very dirty.
When Yuma didn’t take his eyes off his hand, Margan awkwardly put his hands on his back.
You must be just living hard day by day, so why couldn’t you be so confident?
It was to the point of annoyance to see him shrunken.
“Uh… I’m sorry. The compensation claim should have been made to the garrison, not Yuma-sama.”
When there was no answer, Margan spoke in a voice without confidence.
“I’ll take this or something.”
Yuma bluntly took the small cloth bag and threw it away. Margan left without even checking my contents and left a word of thanks.
Looking back, I felt sad.
Inside the cloth bag were ten small silver beads. As a shoemaker at Hale Market, it was an insignificant amount even if he saved up a full year.
For three days, the Pouang Merchant Merchants distributed silver beads ranging from one to ten to the commoners according to the damage.
There were no damages, but there were also commoners who came because of difficult circumstances. Most of them came from the outskirts of the capital.
Yuma had told them to hand out a silver marble to them as well.
