As a painter, how should I face the original heroine

"Sorry, the Lun family refuses your request."

Anastasia restrained her expression, picked up the black tea and tasted it leisurely. Compared with Leviathan, the grade of this guy in front of her was too low, which even made her feel a little boring.

"What... what!? Why are you doing this?"

Subaru Natsuki didn't even react to the completely unexpected answer for a while. He obviously had a good conversation just now, but suddenly changed his face.

"Your question is stupid, the Lun family has no obligation to help you."

"But aren't you Sir Leviathan's partner!?"

The blood rushed to his brain at once, Natsuki Subaru firmly grasped the edge of the table with both hands, his back molars were clenched, he felt as if he was being played like a monkey.

"That's true, but the Lun family reached a cooperation with Leviathan, not you, so why should they help you?"

Anastasia put down the teacup in her hand and asked slowly, as if she was observing the monkeys in the zoo unable to reach the food outside the iron cage and thus being furious.

"Back then, Lord Leviathan gave all the profits from card sales to the Hexin Chamber of Commerce, allowing you to make a lot of money. Are you going to treat his friends like this now?"

Caiyue Subaru was furious immediately. He thought Li Wei's plan was too cheap for the Hexin Chamber of Commerce. He didn't expect that the shamelessness of these businessmen far exceeded his imagination. help.

"Isn't it Leviathan who should come and tell the Lun family in person? As long as he comes here to prove that Natsuki Subaru is his friend, the Lun family will immediately lend you the best dragon carriage."

Anastasia blinked slyly, it was obvious that she was bullying Subaru Natsuki who had lost Leviathan as a backer. Without that person, who would give him face?How stupid a person would take the initiative to say that he has lost contact with his backer.

"You bastard... are you talking to me!?"

Natsuki Subaru stood up in a rage, he didn't expect that he would treat the other party as a life-saving straw, but this guy used this kind of words to deceive him.

Thinking of this, Natsuki Subaru couldn't help but take a step forward, trying to get close to the purple-haired girl who looked cute but was quite black-bellied, but was blocked by the cat-eared Lolita with a wooden staff against her nose.

"Don't get close to Missy anymore, big brother. Mimi is super strong, if you don't want to get hurt, you should sit back obediently."

"You...you two masters and servants are really terrible."

Helpless, Natsuki Subaru could only sit back stiffly like a duck being choked by the throat. Not only was he slapped down by the opponent, but he was also suppressed by force. It can be said that he was humiliated in all directions.

"It's basic common sense to be careful when dealing with businessmen. You can only blame Caiyue yourself for being too careless. But...here is the signature of the shop and Lun's family that still have dragon cars, just take it I successfully rented a dragon carriage."

Anastasia didn't choose to do anything wrong either. After all, Leviathan still had to save face. After teasing the other party, she wrote a note and put it on the table.

"What do you want to give it to me?"

Seeing the posture of the purple-haired girl, Subaru Natsuki knew that she was going to bargain again.

"I have a long memory. If Caiyue can give the Lun family a bargaining chip that satisfies the Lun family, it's not impossible to give it to you."

"what do you want?"

The dignified chairman of the Hexin Chamber of Commerce is definitely not short of money, and Nayue Subaru himself is very poor, but since the other party proposed this deal, there must be some conspiracy.

"I heard that Caiyue seems to be living in the Duke's mansion. Has Mr. Crusch met any important guests recently?"

Anastasia asked with a smile while propping her baby-fat face with her right hand.

"Russell Ferro, trade union representative, is that enough? Here."

Natsuki Subaru angrily snatched the sticky note held by the opponent's fingertips, and quickly opened it to check.Fortunately, he asked Wilhelm a little more because of his curiosity, so he learned these sporadic information.

"The Lun family is not going to cheat on the transaction, it is now Caiyue's. But at the end, I will teach you a trick of negotiation. If you can know what the other party wants in advance and use it as a bait, you can get twice the result with half the effort. Keep doing this Caiyue, who also wants that and wants it, lacks this point, you should learn more from Leviathan."

In the end, Anastasia kindly reminded her, and asked Iron Fang's mercenaries to send Natsuki Subaru out of the gate of Hexin Hotel.

"Damn it, go eat shit."

Looking at the demi-human mercenary wearing a cat-ear cloak behind him, Natsuki Subaru waved his fist angrily and cursed inwardly. He was humiliated from the beginning to the end of this trip.There is nothing more to learn from Leviathan, isn't he also deceived by you profiteers?Give up all the benefits of the card.

"What should we do now? It's not enough to have a place to rent dragon carriages, we need enough remuneration."

After getting the name of the shop for renting dragon carriages, Natsuki Subaru began to worry about money again. He had worked as a trainee servant in Roswaal's house for a month before, but his salary was really limited. Enough fare is still quite a bit.

"It doesn't matter, let's go over there first to have a look, maybe we can share a car or something.

Chapter 255 The Traveling Merchant Otto and the Fog Road Closure

"Sorry, even if you pay double the price in this special period, we won't take Rufus Street, you'd better find another job. But for Miss Anastasia's sake, I can give you A suggestion, find out if there are any merchants stranded in the capital, they may be willing to give you a ride."

The person in charge of the car dealership rubbed his hands in embarrassment. Now that the road outside the capital is foggy, there is a high possibility of being attacked by a white whale. No one would want to take this trip.

Unless it was the merchants who stayed in the capital because of the fog, if the goods could not be stored for a long time, they would probably be willing to take the risk and bring a traveler along to earn some fare in order not to lose all their money.

"Uh...is this the drunken drunkard?"

Natsuki Subaru, who was taken to the tavern, looked at the young businessman lying on the bar in a speechless voice. Drunken driving in his hometown of Japan was a felony, and his driver's license was immediately revoked once he was caught.

"That's right, he's the only one who passed through the territory of Mezas by the way. Otto wakes up soon, there's business."

The person in charge of the car dealership smiled awkwardly, and shook Otto's body vigorously, trying to wake him up from his lethargy.

"Hmm... business? I'm almost bankrupt, where did the business come from?"

Otto stood up with a nauseating smell of alcohol, and looked at the two of them with his lifeless eyes.

"Didn't you say that you plan to venture through the mist to go to Gustik in the north? This guest also wants to come along"

"Are you serious? It's a joke...but it's not funny at all."

Otto's face is full of decadence and self-abandonment. He originally thought that he could sell heating oil to Gustik, where the snow is about to fall, before autumn, but the sudden fog shattered his dream of making a fortune. and fuel is sold cheaply in warm Lugnica.

"Of course, I'll pay for the fare, though not much."

Seeing the young businessman's desperate expression, Subaru Natsuki knew he was safe this time, and immediately took out the only silver coins he had left. If the other party thought it was too little, he even planned to use the mobile phone reserved as a souvenir as the fare.

"...Then say it in advance, if there is any danger on the way, I will turn around and return immediately."

After a moment of silence, Otto finally made up his mind to give it a go. The fog will dissipate at some point, and spending time in the tavern is not an option.

"Well... I'd better follow up and have a look. By the way, I can also learn more about the strength of the white whale and the Witch Cult."

Li Wei, who was standing not far away, yawned. He also arrived here just now under the guidance of the familiar Raven.Although he had slept until the sun was up, he actually slept for less than two hours.

Under the cover of magic, ordinary people like Otto and Nayue Subaru, who had no magic power at all, couldn't find Li Wei's trace at all, and they didn't even notice that there was an extra person on the dragon carriage until they set off.

"Otto, can't we take that shortcut? I remember half a day's journey to reach Mazas."

Subaru Natsuki and Emilia went to the capital from Roswaal's mansion before, and arrived in the afternoon after starting in the morning. I can't figure out why the traveling merchants are so taboo about that passage.

"It's too much to be joking, Mr. Caiyue, that's the only way for the white whale, we will die immediately when we encounter it."
