Raising My Fiancé With Money
Episode 2: But Money Can Buy Everything Else
Fortune Teller
It'd be hard to change your fate drastically within a month.
Fortune Teller
... I do see a man in your future. He's possibly the love of your life.
Fortune Teller
He's born under an unlucky star.
Fortune Teller
But good luck will come to him as he meets you.
Ilya
*Startled* ... Will he cheat on me?
Fortune Teller
We don't know that yet, but one thing is certain.
Fortune Teller
He'll be a treasure of treasures to you.
Fortune Teller
If you go west today...
Fortune Teller
... Good things will happen.
Ilya
This one, that one...
Ilya
... That one with the frills, the one right next to it...
Ilya
... And that one over there, too.
Ilya
I'll buy everything except for what I've just pointed out.
Shop Owner
THANK YOU, MADAM!
It's been a while since I last splurged like this. It doesn't feel to bad, actually.
No... In fact, I feel great.
All the more so because I can finally buy things I truly like!
Frances
YOU LOOK SO BEAUTIFUL, MY LADY!
Malek
You have great taste in fashion, My Lady.
Ilya
Sorry I kept you standing for so long.
Frances
Please don't mind, My Lady. We're truly having fun!
Ilya
Bear with me just a little more.
Ilya
I need to buy some gifts for my family, and then we can go home.
Store Worker
Excuse me, Madam.
Store Worker
What should be done with the dress you arrived in?
Rihart
You'd look better in this dress.
*This is just a memory of Ilya, please be aware!*
Seems like they don't have anything here worthy of becoming a gift.
Ever since I started spending more time with Rihart,
I've stopped doting on my family in order to out him first.
I must've worried them so much every time I ignored their warnings about Rihart.
I want to give them a nice gift as a gesture of apology.
But all they have here are gold-plated or cheap glass items...
The prices are far too high for the quality.
Karhan
I'd like to buy a music box for a gift.
That's one good-looking guy!
Shop Worker
Oh, sure! This way, please...
He looks a bit fierce too.
Shop Worker
This one sells out a lot these days!
Shop Worker
It's made of the best materials
Shop Worker
By a master craftsman with the finest, most exquisite handwork!
Shop Worker
It only costs a mere 150 Kroels~!
They're obviously trying to rip him off.
But what kind of idiot would pay that much for such a crude—?!
... It's him! He's the idiot!
Shop Worker
Thank you kindly, good sir~!
Shop Worker
By the way, how would you like to take a Gander at this too? It's brand-new and hit the shelves only yesterday!
Shop Worker
It's a must-have item these days!
Shop Worker
Who wouldn't absolutely love to get this as a present~?
Shop Worker
THIS ONE, THAT ONE, AND THAT ONE OVER THERE ARE SOOOO POPULAR THESE DAYS TOO~!
Shop Worker
AND~ YOU CAN GET ALL OF THESE AT 150 KROELS EACH! DON'T MISS THIS LUCKY CHANCE!
Ilya
How could this be considered a "lucky" chance...
Ilya
... When his clearly getting ripped off?!
Ilya
When I checked the price tag, it was 60 Kroels.
Ilya
Has the price gone up within a minute?
Shop Worker
Wh-What are you talking about?!
Ilya
Excuse me, if you don't mind...
Was it rude for me to intervene?
He reminds me of someone I used to be...
... Someone who couldn't turn down all those unreasonable demands, being stupidly nice and kind no matter what...
... Only to be betrayed, wetting my sleeves with tears every night.
Ilya
Could I give you recommendations?
I just can't move past him.
Shop Worker
I'm sorry, but ma'am!
Shop Worker
It's my boss who decides the price!
Shop Worker
Besides, it's not too expensive if you only have to pay 150 Kroels for such a high-quality product.
Shop Worker
(= what do you know?)
Shop Worker
I'm afraid if the price is too high for you to pay, madam.
Shop Worker
I can recommend you something cheaper.
Shop Worker
(= You can't even afford to pay 150 Kroels?)
SERIOUSLY? Are you picking a fight with ME over money?
Shop Owner
LADY ILYA BLODEN!!!
Shop Owner
Here's the acquisition certificate.
Shop Owner
I'll send other documents to your mansion later.
Shop Owner
I've signed the paper, so please sign right here...
Shop Owner
How generous of you to purchase the store at double the market price.
Shop Owner
I'm not your boss anymore, so don't call me that.
Shop Owner
She's your new boss!
Ilya
I'm now the owner of this place, so...
Ilya
I decide the prices, don't I?
Ilya
I'd like to charge 60 Kroels for this. Do you have a problem with that?
Shop Worker
N-No, Madam...
Ilya
Go write new price tags then.
Ilya
And clean the store, I see so much dust in here.
Karhan
Thank you for helping me out. *Bow*
Ilya
To be honest, I'm rather afraid I caused you trouble. I'm sorry I butted in.
He seems so grateful even though there's really no need to be. How rare... What a polite guy.
Ilya
You should refuse point-blank whenever anyone tries to sell things you don't want to buy.
Ilya
or they'll keep bothering you.
Karhan
Oh, the thing is...
Karhan
I'm very bad at rejecting people...
But you look so good at it...
Wait, you can't judge people by appearance.
Ilya
Anyways, If you don't mind, could I give you some recommendations?
Karhan
... Yes, please. Thanks.
Ilya
If you're looking for a gift, this'll work fine. It's a popular design.
Ilya
This one has calm music...
Ilya
... And that one has a particularly pretty design here.
The look on his face is totally different now.
Is he looking for a gift for his fiancée?
Somehow I'm getting a little
...Jealous of the one receiving his gift.
Ilya
Please take care of the store for the time being.
Ilya
I'm going to hire new clerks soon.
Karhan
This is nothing much, but...
Karhan
You helped me out and even gave me advice on what to buy.
Karhan
I'm afraid I took up far too much of your time...
...But I didn't help him to be rewarded or something.
Ilya
No. I'm not someone who'd seek a reward for a bit of help.
Ilya
Actually, it's my first time even meeting someone.
Ilya
Who tried to express gratitude to me through money.
Ilya
But I simply don't need any money.
