Chapter 348.2. The Real Address!

In front of me, like Shin's mother, who looked proud, she could live a life of easy life. 

It must be part of an image strategy.

"Hehe, even without committing crimes, I can live comfortably. No need to work with sweat. Do you understand?"

Tauntingly staring at Mii-chan's frustrated face, Noriko continued, You must be frustrated, huh?" She was the woman who tried to seriously injure Mii-chan's mama. I wish she had a more miserable life.

But you know, you can still turn things around from now on, right? It seems she doesn't understand that.

"Do you understand? You can no longer accuse me of anything, right? There's no evidence that I was still planning a rebellion. Ohohoho."

"But, however, your son seems to have disappeared?"

"So what? He's just gone on a little journey. Besides, my son may have money and strength, but he no longer has the power to plot a rebellion. Understand? Even objectively, it's innocence!"

Captain Gotou bit his lip in frustration. Indeed, if they had been living such a luxurious life, the fate of a rebellious house would be extremely weak. Moreover, there is weak evidence for pursuing a rebellion.

In other words, we couldn't touch Noriko.

Mii-chan also wished she had suffered more. Not to die, because mama would be sad. But she wanted her to live in a small, rundown apartment.

"Are you going to intervene, Marchioness Takano? Will the esteemed high-ranking noble bully a fallen baron family?"

"I won't do such a thing, you beautiful lady."

With a shy, weak smile, Mii-chan turned to Noriko. Noriko, wary of the address change, furrowed her eyebrows slightly.

"Well then, do you know Shin's whereabouts?"

"I wonder? Perhaps he's leisurely traveling?"

"I see, Nimue, give me a check."

I handed it over to Nimue, who was waiting behind me with one hand behind her. 

Nimue took out a checkbook from her cleavage and handed it over.

Thanking her, Mii-chan opened the checkbook and wrote smoothly.

"Thank you for telling me where he is, beautiful lady. This is a thank-you from Mii-chan!"

She tore the check with the amount of ten billion yen from the checkbook and handed it to Noriko. Naturally, Noriko accepted the check, and her expression turned to surprise at the amount.

"S-Such an amount! I haven't said anything!"

"Oh? You told us where Shin is, right? That's the thank-you."

"So, I haven't told you anything!"

To the angry Noriko, Mii-chan responded with a quiet smile.

"With that money, you can live comfortably for the rest of your life. You can have a gathering with your commoner friends. Or maybe a party."

"Commoners friends!? Me, a former Duchess, with commoners!?"

"That's right, former Duchess. Because even if you host a party, other nobles won't attend, and you won't be invited to parties anymore."

Mii-chan probably finds it all fun, but it's different for the former Duchess.

"Ugh... S-such a thing, pretending to host a party with commoners, there's no way I, someone like me, would do that..."

The former Duchess, Everest-high in pride, should savor Mii-chan's sweet revenge. Considering what she did to mama, Mii-chan's treatment is incredibly gentle.

It's so much money that a commoner, not a former Duchess, would jump up and down with joy. Surely, she can now imagine living comfortably.

However, the former Duchess, accustomed to the glamorous social world, can't be satisfied. In fact, with no need to work and idle time, only dissatisfaction arises.

From the recent conversation, it's clear what could be said to her for my revenge.

"I'm sure all the commoners would be delighted to attend parties hosted by the former Duchess Kanna."

Nobles would definitely not attend.

"With that money, you can buy magic dresses, and you might be able to chat about the brilliance of granted mana!"

That is if there's someone among the attendees who can see mana.

"Enjoy a life without financial worries."

The former Duchess, a woman with terrifyingly high pride, feels boredom and humiliation the more comfortable her current life is.

Living without work and unable to participate in the social circle, she will have to live with the frustration of never achieving what she desires. She can drown in a bath of banknotes, dreaming of a life she can never have again, with the weight of pride in her chest. I hope she struggles to endure the frustration.

"Guh, this... Ggigi..."

Distorting her face like a demon in frustration, Noriko glares at Mii-chan. Her gaze is filled with murderous intent, but she can do nothing.

"Goodbye, former Duchess. Enjoy your comfortable life from today. We'll investigate Shin's whereabouts from here."

Well, could she have retaliated now? Mii-chan rotates her body and heads outside.

Once outside the mansion, the air was filled with a muddy scream of resentment.

Mii-chan has become quite kind. She's rounded off quite a bit. In this world, where the cost of luxury items is limitless, it's hard to predict how comfortable a life she can lead.

I heard that the former Duchess, unable to enter the social world, frustrated with idleness, repeated wasteful spending and went bankrupt in no time, the next month.

With massive debts, she's apparently working alongside adventurers to earn money. However, she struggles due to her high pride and lack of combat experience.
