“But that’s the old currency of the Dragon Kingdom. It’s not the same as the current one.” – Ruri

『Is that so? Then…』– Lydia

“Wait a minute!” – Euclaise

As he interrupted the words of Lydia, Euclaise fell into silence. 

『What’s the matter, Euclaise-san?』– Lydia

“I want to ask something. Is that alright?” – Euclaise

『Sure.』– Lydia

As they listened, Euclaise’s eyes became serious.

“This is Ruri’s space, right? So every thing here is Ruri’s property, right?” – Euclaise

『Yes.』 – Lydia

As Ruri was mentioned, Jade asked.

“Why is it that you have so much fortune? It hasn’t been a few years since you came.” – Jade

“Most of the things in here are from Lydia’s former contractor, the First Dragon King. He kept saying that all of this should be given to the next contractor of Lydia. So, I accepted it.” – Ruri

“The founder’s inheritance?!” – Agate

Everyone was surprised. Especially Agate, who stepped forward unknowingly.

“Well, Lydia also brought a lot from other spaces too, you know?” – Ruri

Jade asked confusedly.

“What do you mean?” – Jade

“Since the owner was the only one who could open their space, Lydia was gradually erasing those. So, I brought in the things that I could use or just threw them into someone else’s space.”– Ruri

“You’re entering other people’s spaces?” – Jade

“Not everyone can, okay? Only the Spirit of Space and Time and her contractor could.” – Ruri

“In other words, Ruri could enter someone else’s space?” – Jade

“Yes. Sometimes I also help Lydia erase some space” – Ruri

Whenever Ruri comes to the space, only Ruri and Lydia could walk through the spiral stairs floating in the dark, connecting to the people around the world.

Some of Vito’s inheritance came from the spaces that Lydia erased by the time of Vito’s death. And now, some of them were brought by Ruri herself.

“Then, can the space be touched by the living?” – Jade

“I can… Ah! But if you’re misunderstanding me, I haven’t stolen anything from them!” – Ruri

As you opened a door from the spiral staircase, you could enter but one of the boundaries separated you from the space.

Ruri hastily explained after seeing everyone’s weird expression.

But Jade was thinking differently.

To be able to enter someone else’s space, that was the ability the creators have.

And even if you take something, there would be no evidence.

Since the space could only be opened by the owner themselves. Many put their important things inside of it. If there were some that could enter it, then anyone would go in.

“Ruri, who else have you talked about this to?” – Jade

“I only told Chelsea-san. I’m not a fool. I know it is dangerous and so I could only talk about it to someone I trust.” – Ruri

Jade breathed a sigh of relief as he heard of it.

At the same time, there were a lot of unexpected things. Like how Ruri became a cat.

“I see. Then it’s alright. Never mention this to anybody else in the future. It’ll be a big problem if an avaricious person found out about this.” – Jade

“Yes, I understand.” – Ruri

After Jade finished, Euclaise followed next.

“And about the old currency of the Dragon Kingdom I mentioned before…” – Euclaise

Ruri stood up and took several sheets of gold from the mountain of treasure. She then placed it on the table.

“Here it is.” – Ruri

The old currency of the Dragon Kingdom, placed on the table, caught Jade’s eyes. 

“Can you exchange the old currency to the current one?”  – Ruri

In Ruri’s world, there are collectors collecting antique money. She remembered that they were only buying rare kinds of money that weren’t always available.

Maybe you could exchange it to the bank and get money.

“Worst comes to worst, we could just let the Fire Spirits melt it and make it into some kind of armor for the Kingdom.” – Ruri

(I didn’t know what material it was made of, but it was a little bit different from an old gold coin. At least the raw material.) – Ruri

But as she was thinking about it, Jade and the other two’s face tensed up. 

Then, Euclaise raised his voice.

“No!!” – Euclaise

Euclaise’s sudden cry surprised Ruri and Lydia, who then shouted in shock.

“You surprised me there, Euclaise-san!.” – Ruri

“You said you’re gonna melt them! What are you thinking by melting such precious treasures?!” – Euclaise

“Hei? It’s precious?” – Ruri

She stared at their faces, finally landing her gaze at Jade, who smiled bitterly.

“The old coin of the Dragon Kingdom was made of materials way back in the time of the First Dragon King. But after the death of the First Dragon King, the Next Dragon King changed it into the current coins. The material that was used is good for making weapons and armor. So, the coins ended up being processed. And now there were only few of them remaining in the form of coins.” – Jade

“Then, if you take it to the blacksmith and melt it down into something, the price will go higher.”  – Ruri

“That’s why I said it’s no good! If you want to sell it, please sell it to the kingdom! It’s part of the kingdom’s precious history.” – Euclaise

Euclaise was angry.

(I don’t really care about whom I sell it to as long as it gives me money to buy the house and stuff.) – Ruri

So, she gave the money on the table to Euclaise.

(It seems like it’s expensive. I will check the price of a few, then get some more if it’s not enough.) – Ruri

“But why can’t you take it away right now? Dragons used this money before. Is it because you can get a certain amount of money in the future?” – Ruri

“Is it the era of the First Dragon King? I can’t really understand you.” – Ruri

“Exactly.” – Euclaise

The story of Vito’s lover that has been told together with his portrait. Until now it wasn’t known who was in the portrait. It caused a disaster and chaos. For the first time, Euclaise, the prime minister, didn’t know what to do.

But, Lydia knew the era of the First Dragon King.

『I’m sure. Vito was dead and Kai isn’t here anymore.』 – Lydia

“Kai?” – Ruri

『Vito contracted the Earth Spirit King and I. Kai and Vito protected the Dragon Kingdom and the land was affected by it. Upon the death of Vito, Kai didn’t stay here much longer. It’s natural that you couldn’t get ahold of the minerals.』 – Lydia

Except for the ridiculous reply, Ruri listened to Lydia’s story.

(Anyhow, this filled the money that was needed for buying a house in the capital.) – Ruri

Ruri guts pose.

(Next time I go to the town, I’ll look for a house.) – Ruri
