I Put All My Stats Into Charm Episode 041

 

Silence settled over the drawing room.

 

Lowell wasn’t the type of elf to share personal stories.

 

I had only heard about him using black magic to revive the dead through Theodor’s mouth, not from the person himself.

 

Come to think of it, I’ve never seen Lowell getting close to anyone or mingling with the imperial mages?

 

It was unexpected information that someone so independent had a close person in his life.

 

“If they could change Master’s preferences, they must not have been an ordinary person.”

 

Lowell smiled gently.

 

I thought he would say something more about that person, but Lowell didn’t bring up any further details.

 

Feeling awkward from the prolonged silence, I continued speaking.

 

“Still, please eat sweets in moderation. They’re bad for your health.”

 

“Thank you for worrying about me.”

 

After Lowell gave a soft smile, he brought his teacup to his lips.

 

Then, a question occurred to me.

 

“Ah, Master. There’s something I’d like to ask you.”

 

“What is it?”

 

I brought over some paper and a pen that were nearby.

 

Then I drew the shape of the tattoo that was below my nape on the paper and showed it to Lowell.

 

“Do you happen to know what this pattern is?”

 

Lowell was the top mage in the Belkadia Empire. So he might know something about this pattern.

 

He narrowed his eyes and examined the pattern closely.

 

“It’s a pattern I’ve never seen before. Where did you see it?”

 

“Uh, well…”

 

I hesitated for a moment.

 

In a situation where I didn’t know what the tattoo was, would it be okay to honestly say it was a pattern on the back of my neck?

 

Somehow I felt reluctant.

 

“I saw this tattoo on a passerby’s body.”

 

“Really? It doesn’t look like a simple guild emblem…”

 

Lowell looked at the pattern with a serious expression.

 

“The circle surrounding the pattern is similar to the structure of a magic circle. It might be related to black magic. Let me investigate it.”

 

Lowell, who had taken the paper, casually asked me a question.

 

“What kind of person had this pattern on their body?”

 

“…A swordsman?”

 

Jerome uses a sword, and I’ve fought with a meat tenderizer, so we could both be called swordsmen.

 

At my answer, Lowell fell into thought before speaking.

 

“If you meet the person with this pattern again, it would be best to be careful. They could be a dangerous person.”

 

That would be me.

 

—Unable to say that, I just nodded pretending to know nothing.

 

Lowell earnestly urged me with a serious expression.

 

“If you see this pattern again, please let me know.”

 

The meaning of these words was that the tattoo looked that dangerous.

 

Maybe I’m in a more complicated situation than I thought.

 

What exactly was the owner of this body doing?

 

Could the reason only Jerome and I passed through the magic circle also be related to the tattoo?

 

I’ll have to wait and see, I thought, when Lowell took out a small pouch from his chest and held it out to me.

 

“Lady, please take this.”

 

“What is this?”

 

When I opened the heavy pouch, I could see a pile of gold coins inside.

 

“It’s not a large amount, but I prepared it for you. Originally apprentice mages don’t receive compensation, but you’ve been working hard with training all this time.”

 

Wait a minute.

 

Looking at the amount of gold coins, this isn’t just a small amount?

 

This amount of money would be enough to go to that restaurant I went to with Jerome and Theodor for a full course meal 10 more times and still have money left over.

 

Realizing I was holding a fortune in my hands, I was moved to tears.

 

“Master, thank you so much…”

 

Just as I was about to express my gratitude, a servant entered the drawing room.

 

“Lord Chiffrion. A package and payment receipt have arrived.”

 

“A package? I haven’t ordered anything recently.”

 

“The sender is Armoea Clothing Shop.”

 

“Armoea Clothing Shop?”

 

While Lowell tilted his head in confusion, people carrying large boxes began filing into the drawing room one after another.

 

The servant examined the receipt that came with the packages.

 

“The recipient is Miss Aisha Emmerbier.”

 

Lowell turned his head toward me. The moment our eyes met, cold sweat ran down my back.

 

Lowell asked in a calm voice.

 

“Are these items that you ordered, Lady?”

 

“Uh, Master. Well, you see…”

 

I rolled my eyes around.

 

If I had known he would give me money like this, I wouldn’t have bought things in a fit of anger!

 

If I had known this would happen, I wouldn’t have said things like ‘I’ll take everything from here to there’ or ‘Lowell Chiffrion is paying today!’

 

But even with ten mouths, I had nothing to say and was stammering when Lowell spoke.

 

“If you needed something, you should have told me earlier. Is there anything else you need?”

 

“…Pardon?”

 

I looked around thinking it might be a trap question, but his face genuinely seemed curious about whether I needed anything else.

 

I looked at Lowell hesitantly and barely managed to speak.

 

“Uh… I don’t think I need anything else.”

 

“I see. Tell me if you need anything else.”

 

Is this the leisure of one of the richest people in the empire?

 

Lowell Chiffrion, you must be an angel wearing the mask of a miser.

 

Just as I was admiring Lowell’s generosity, more people carrying packages entered through the drawing room door.

 

With the procession filing in, packages piled up like a mountain in one corner of the drawing room.

 

…When did I buy this much stuff?

 

Even if Lowell was a saint, this amount seemed unacceptable.

 

I sneakily watched Lowell’s reaction.

 

Seeing his face harden, he seemed flustered by the ridiculous quantity.

 

“…Lady. Are you perhaps planning to open a clothing store?”

 

“Haha… Of course not.”

 

When I gave an awkward laugh, a dry smile appeared on Lowell’s face.

 

“Please let me know in advance next time. I might need to borrow the imperial warehouse then.”

 

“…I’ll work hard from now on.”

 

Why don’t I know moderation?

 

Taking today as a lesson, I resolved to shop in moderation… or at least have deliveries split up.

 

A day when I finished Lowell’s errands early.

 

With free time on my hands, I stopped by a butcher shop and bought pork.

 

Then I headed to Parseon Temple.

 

While waiting at the temple exit, Theodor came out wearing armor.

 

I immediately waved my hand.

 

“Lord Blair!”

 

“Huh?!”

 

Theodor, who spotted me, approached with a bright smile.

 

“What, don’t tell me you came here to see me?”

 

“Yes.”

 

“Huh?”

 

As if it was an unexpected answer, Theodor’s eyes widened.

 

“Really? You didn’t just drop by coincidentally?”

 

“Yes. I came to see you, sir?”

 

In an instant, Theodor’s face turned bright red.

 

“No, well, if you wanted to meet me, you should have said so earlier!”

 

“I came secretly to surprise you, but should I have told you in advance?”

 

“I mean, I’m always welcome. No, that’s not what I meant…”

 

He continued rambling incoherently.

 

“I’m always ready… no, that sounds weird too. So what I’m trying to say is…”

 

Then he roughly scratched his head.

 

“What am I even saying right now?”

 

Why is he acting like that?

 

I looked at Theodor with puzzled eyes and said.

 

“Well, I can tell you’re indescribably happy to see me.”

 

Then I lightly patted Theodor’s shoulder.

 

“You haven’t had dinner yet, right?”

 

He sheepishly rubbed the back of his neck.

 

“I haven’t eaten yet.”

 

“I’ll buy you dinner.”

 

“You’re broke. How are you going to buy food?”

 

“I’m not exactly broke! I got my salary yesterday!”

 

I glared at Theodor.

 

Calling someone broke, really.

 

At my retort, Theodor waved his hands dismissively.

 

“Put it away. I’d rather squeeze blood from a flea than rely on how much a newcomer’s salary is.”

 

“That won’t do. You’ve helped me so much, sir. I wanted to repay you even a little.”

 

He saved me during the dispatch investigation, gave me dating advice, and recently even helped me pick out clothes and acted as a bridge.

 

If something comes, something must go.

 

I looked straight at Theodor and spoke in a firm voice.

 

“So let me repay you today.”

 

Theodor stared at me with widened eyes. Then he let out a soft chuckle.

 

“What’s this.”

 

Just then, a system window chimed.

 

[Theodor Blair’s favorability has increased by 5.]

 

[Theodor Blair’s favorability: 30]

 

Along with the system window that appeared before my eyes, Theodor smiled warmly.

 

“I’m actually feeling a little fluttered right now.”
