The Importance Of Money
「Yosh, now let’s start the fourth race!」
The villagers sitting on the long bench respond with passionate voices when Rick raises a high-spirited voice to start. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com
The race platform is numbered from number 1 to 5, and each Ratton is standing by at their space.
They are separated by boards to prevent them from running, but there is also a naughty Ratton that constantly tries to climb up and escape.
The Ratton’s caretaker desperately forced it back to its space, and a heartwarming battle was unfolding on the scene.
「Ratton, so cute!」
Just as Ra-chan said, the scampering Rattons are cute.
Their silhouette is like a mouse, but their fur is brown and short and soft and there’s no sense of being repelled to the touch. They look like marmots or weasels.
They seem fluffy when I try to touch them.
「For those who joined late, I will give a simple introduction of the running Rattons!」
Just when I was watching the fluffy Rattons, Rick introduced each of them
On the first course is Rabi. Possessing fast speed that has brilliantly won the race just now. It can suddenly show interest in different things and brimming with curiosity.
The second is Ekaterina. With moody tendencies but as for speed, it's the fastest. However, due to lack of stamina, it sometimes walks at the last leg of the race.
The third is Renta. With a naughty personality but the best stamina, sometimes escaping from the course.
The fourth is Valion. Although it shows a stable running pace, it falls behind the other Rattons. But, it rarely gives up in the race and is obedient.
The fifth is Dodd. It has a gentle personality and the start is slow. But, it is extremely strong at the late stage of the race and a strong chaser at the end. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com
The Rattons arranged for the course are roughly something like that.
Eric is making a troubled, serious expression after listening to Rick’s explanation.
「Hm, I don’t know which one of them will win.....」
Each and every Rattons have their strong points so we don’t know which will come out first. Rick must have intentionally collected rattons with strong peculiarities.
「Which one of them do you will win Ra-chan?」
「Rabi! It just won before and its name is cute!」
It seems like Ra-chan took a liking to Rabi.
Certainly, Rabi just won before so I understand that people’s confidence in Rabi is high.
「Which one of them do you expect to win, Alfried?」
「Valion, I guess. It runs steadily and it is likely to achieve the best result despite various conditions」
I have a really favorable impression of Valion, running steadily toward the goal without giving up. If I were to compare it to my previous life, then it would be like a civil servant who has employee benefits and a good salary.
「Does Al like stability?」
「Un, it’s good to be stable」
As someone who came from a modern society, I am strangely attracted to the word ‘stability’.
「Just say unremarkable」
「A person’s personality and sense of values come out at such a time」
Hearing my answer, Torr and Asmo sighed in boredom.
「Then which one of them did you guys choose?」
「I choose the fastest, Ekaterina! There is nothing more obvious in a race than this!」
「I’m Dodd I guess. Compared with the others, its strength at the last leg of the race is amazing and worth supporting」
They went for Rattons with strong quirks. I thought these two would choose something like that.
「Which do you think will win, Loretta?」
「Eh? Me? They have their strengths and weaknesses so it is difficult to predict which will win. The one Alfried-sama chose, Valion is good, but I also feel like it is hard to choose since there are no outstanding qualities.....」
When Ra-chan asks her, Loretta - who was keeping an eye on us at the back - mutters her impression with a serious expression as she ponders about it. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com
……I know how you feel, but are you for real?
「So, which one?」
「I will choose Renta! It is the fourth race so from this moment onward Renta’s stamina should give it an advantage!」
It seems like Loretta was finally able to put her thoughts together after Ra-chan asked her directly.
Indeed, Renta will have more advantages as the race continues. However, I can’t quite trust Renta when I look at its appearance as it tries to escape.
「Yosh, I will choose Ekaterina」
「Heeー, it’s a little surprising that Eric-sama will choose that. I thought you would choose Valion or Dodd」
「I am certainly drawn to their strength, but don’t you want to cheer those with great strength in a race such as this?」
「Ooh, so Eric-sama understands! The fastest one will break through and win! This is the spirit!」
Heeー, Eric might be the type that surprisingly becomes passionate when things like betting are involved. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com
Once you have decided on which will be the winner, a villager will casually walk around the place with a leather bag in his hand.
People who want to bet would probably put their money there.
The villagers each put copper coins into the leather bag and continue to take a numbered tag of their favorite Rattons.
Torr and Asmo also naturally put in two copper coins, they received the numbers 2 and 5 respectively.
To think that they will join with the adults to gamble while being a kid, they really are brats. I also put two copper coins while having such a thought and received the number 4.
Rather than just watching, participating in the event by betting like this seems to be more interesting anyway.
Eric also put 2 copper coins in the same manner and received the number 2.
「Ah, me too!」
「Ranna-sama! That is an important gold coin for emergencies! You can not use that to bet!」
When Ra-chan took out a gold coin from her pocket, Loretta stopped her from continuing.
Un, it’s too risky to suddenly bet with gold coins.
「Ranna-sama please do not involve yourself in gambling!」
「Ehー, but I want to be like everyone!」
Ah, not good. I wonder if Ra-chan wants to imitate everyone after seeing us betting?
At her age, the feeling of being left out by her friends will be quite unbearable.
Being stared at hard by Loretta, I and Eric conspicuously averted our eyes. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com
Darn it. No matter how I think about it, at this rate, this will be bad for Ra-chan’s education. Because I showed an interest in the unfamiliar gambling of another world ended up doing it in front of Ra-chan
「Now now, wouldn’t it be fine to bet a few copper coins? Rather than ignoring the advice about the danger of gambling and being ignored, it’s better to let the person herself experience it firsthand, right?」
「Even though it’s Torr who said it, you said something good」
I wonder why, but for some reason, Torr’s words seem to carry some weight in them.
「Hee, so it is better to regret after doing it rather than not」
「This is a path every villager takes. At first, Torr was being excessive, but now he has calmed down after experiencing failures」
I see, so Torr has also experienced it firsthand already. No wonder his words must have a certain weight in them due to that.
The villagers here must have repeatedly experienced failures upon failures, so they are probably living in the present with a strong will.
「Well, you should learn the importance of money as a noble」
Maybe it’s because he is also aware that he was doing something he feels guilty about in front of Ra-chan that Eric sides with Torr and Asmo.
「That is certainly true, but……」
Perhaps since everyone around has affirmed the gambling somewhat, Loretta lost her ability for sound judgment and her attitude softens slightly.
If you think about it calmly, you would think that learning the importance of money through gambling is strange, but if I say that then I will just be strangling my own neck so I’ll just keep quiet.
It looks like I need to give it a little more push so I lightly tap Ra-chan on the shoulder.
Then, Ra-chan looked at Loretta with her upturned eyes, guess she understood my intention.
「I want to play with everyone, so it’s fine if it’s just copper coins, right?」
「……it can not be helped then. Just 1 copper coin, all right? You can not bet more than that」
「Un, thank you. Loretta!」
Loretta is also the serious type, but she’s weak to Ra-chan’s request. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com
Thanks for the chapters!!😉
