19 – Red Garden Landscaper 5

A small inn located in downtown Selberg.

There, YuRia and Isolda were in the middle of having a chat while taking a break from a room.

“Thank you, Ysera-san. Thanks to that, I was able to close the deal at a good price.”

YuRia bowed her head deeply while expressing her gratitude. Regarding this, Isolda let out a small sigh and spoke in an annoying voice.

“Not really.. I just owe… I was just trying to repay No matter what, you saved me…”

“But… if I had been alone, I wouldn’t have raised the price that much. Thank you very much.”

“Um… ”

Seeing Yuria bowing her head while looking at herself like that, Lee Solda was still thinking that everything went well.

Although there is a corner that has softened, Yuria seems to be able to see her own image as a child.

Since she was Lee Sol-da, who had to start everything from scratch, I thought that her appearance like this was a good stimulus for me to look back on myself in the past.

‘I was like this.. there were times when I was naive, but at the same time I was immature and useless. But not now.’

Measure the opponent with the weapon of doubt, build a light trust if the opponent’s level is below the standard, and steady credit to dispel doubt if the opponent’s level is high, then use these as resources to obtain what you want.

Then, the opponent who has become useless takes everything and tramples it down resolutely, leaving no room for resilience.

This is how Isolda, a woman, has lived as a merchant, and in that sense, this child, Yuria, could be said to be in the stage of just hatching an egg by her standards.

‘In the future, if you doubt a little more… and learn how to use trust and trust as a weapon, this child will be able to grow wonderfully. Well, it’s a story that has nothing to do with me now.’

While thinking about that, Isolda thought it was time to break up with this child.

Suddenly feeling that she would never see this child again, she began to feel a strange regret for some reason, but she soon erased that feeling and began to calmly consider the future.

Although she came a little farther east, the place she was aiming for from here was still far away.

There was no need to be in too much of a hurry, but we had to get there before our travel expenses ran out.

‘Get on the carriage again and go to Munich… No, is there no need for that? Although the scale is small, taking a break here and going straight to your destination without stopping in Munich is also…’

It was at that time that Lee Sol-da was pondering for a while while thinking about that.

“Um…then, where will Sera Lee go?”

“yes? I..”

If she had come this far, there would be less fear of being pursued, and as much as she had a rough understanding of this child, Isolda told Yuria where she was going.

By the way..

“Wow! Is it a coincidence? I was just about to go there too.”

“what? Do you know how far it is and say that?”

“Yes, I know. It’s about 600km along the road east of here… that it takes about 15 days.”

“.. You know better than I thought.”

Unexpectedly, Lee Solda could see that YuRia’s words were not simply empty words.

Even if Isolda calculated it, it seemed that it would take about that much time at the speed of that small wagon.

“I used to live there with my mom and dad. I know roughly the way… and I’m finally able to go because I’ve prepared travel expenses through today’s deal.”

“Really?.. But what are you going to do that far away? Just to bring back old memories?”

“There are things like that, but… because I have something I must tell you. To my parents who are buried there..”

“… .”

Yuria brings up a story that is heavier than expected.

At this, Isolda felt a bit heavy and remained silent for a while.

‘Ever since I was young and doing this alone, I expected it to some extent…’

Yuria’s words about her deceased parents.

For some reason, Isolda’s chest began to resonate strongly.

“… Me too.. my parents passed away.. they are now buried in Schwyz but..”

“ah…”

Solda speaks in a quiet voice.

As a result, Yuria began to feel that the atmosphere, which had subsided a little, became even heavier.

‘It’s strange.. I’m just listening to other people’s words, but I feel so sad.. I’ve never had anything like this in my life..’

Perhaps, since she had identified herself with Yuria all along, she could only speculate that this might be the case.

Even so, the fact that emotions were substituted into ‘tools’ that could be discarded at any time depending on the situation. This was quite unfamiliar to her, but it gave her a strange feeling.

The two of them kept silent for a while, recalling the faces of people they could not see anymore.

In the case of Isolda, the impression of her parents was not very bright, but it was inevitable that she would miss them a little after she was in this situation.

‘If the two of you were still alive, it might not have been as difficult as it is now.

Just when Lee Sol-da was thinking about it, Yuria spoke to her in the brightest voice possible, as if trying to change the atmosphere.

“Ah.. that.. then, since the destination is the same, would you like to go with Ysera? Still, it’s a bit lonely to go that far alone…”

“Um… Shall I think about it for a moment?”

To be honest, from Lee Solda’s point of view, it wasn’t a bad story.

As before, it would be a relatively stable route to accompany YuRia, who is moving with the dogs, as the possibility of an accident caused by clumsily grabbing the wagon could not be ruled out.

In addition, if two people take turns driving the wagon, the time can be shortened considerably as they can run day and night.

As a bonus, it was also true that, as YuRia had said, traveling long distances would be a little less boring if you had a companion.

‘Above all… it’s not enough to say that I paid off my life debt with only iron ore.

It took me a little while to realize that I was obsessed with this kind of work. Regarding this, Isolda decided that it was because her situation was not too good, and Isolda forced herself to convince her feelings even if she thought about it a little.

‘As a service… I have to tell this kid what a trader is. It’s up to this kid to see if he can digest it well, but…’

Suddenly, Lee Solda began to think that it might be fun to teach this young merchant, who doesn’t feel like a stranger, how he can become like himself.

‘It’s my first time feeling like this, but I don’t think it’s bad. The more I look at it, the more I naturally project myself… Maybe this is why people like children, right?’

thinking like that

For the first time in her life, Isolda showed a smile on her lips that contained a little warmth.
