I sighed when I saw Kokuliko's appearance, then half-knelt in front of her, took out a handkerchief and wiped away her tears: "Don't cry, Kokuliko." As I said this, I hugged her in my arms: "From today onwards, don't perform here." ”

"What-"

"How much do you pay for this kid? I bought it. I stood up, shielded Kokuliko behind me, and said to the fat circus master.

"Buy, buy—that's not going to work, Kokuli is something I've spent a lot of money on to cultivate, and I can't give it to you!" The fat man was stunned for a moment and then quickly refused. But when I look at this guy's appearance, and his eyes roll so quickly, I know that he doesn't actually absolutely not sell, but just wants to knock me off.

"Mr. Wright." Kou Kuli, who was behind me, whispered a little uneasily, "No, I don't want to leave my circus friends. ”

Kou Kuli's friends are naturally talking about the circus animals. Of course, I think there's another reason for this, and that's that Kokuli doesn't trust me - after all, I've only known her for less than a day. Although he looks sunny and handsome on the outside, he is still a general of the Norman Empire. But who knows who I am? If it's a perverted lolita who takes pleasure in abusing and snapping loli, then isn't Kokuli miserable?

And even if I'm not, even if I'm completely compassionate, that's why I want to help Kokulik. But who knows if my current state is out of a moment of righteous indignation, or if it has been considered? What if you really bought her for a lot of money and then regretted it?

Although Kokuli is not very old, she has a lot of experience in the rivers and lakes, and she has already figured things out. So the refusal was made.

“…… I understand. So I said gently to Kokulik. When he had finished speaking, he said to the fat leader, "So-how much money do you have in this circus?" I bought it. ”

"What, what? To buy the whole circus?! No, no, it's absolutely impossible! The head of the big fat man hurriedly shook his head and waved his hand, clearly refusing.

"You don't really like this circus either. It's just about the money – what's your circus' annual income? I pay a thousand times the price. You can't live to be a thousand years old, can you? As I said this, I pulled out the pistol from my waist and pointed it at him:

"Or do you want to end your life today this year?" I then asked.

"But, damn it," said the circus director, apparently flinching under the threat ......of violence—and then uttered a price that was much higher than the circus' annual income—and was gross profit rather than net profit.

"Good—" I then pulled out my portable steam communicator and dialed Rainey's - although I was closer to Maria emotionally, I trusted Rainey more when it mattered. For example, taking care of the finances.

"Please come here and ask the Banque de France to withdraw this amount." I say this to Rainey. And Rainey is worthy of being Rainey, and he didn't ask me at all: what is this money used for, no surprise, no panic, and no upset. A very simple sentence: "Okay." After that, he went to deal with the things I had explained.

Therefore, there are many bastards who manage finances now, and they want to make a virtue that is their own money, even though the money is not their own money. When the real owner of the money is ready to use the money, all sorts of unpleasantness comes out. This kind of person should really learn from Rainey.

"Well, do you want a check, cash, or just transfer it at the bank? Mr. Regiment Commander. ”

"You, who are you, how, how is it?!" The circus director was visibly stunned by my magnanimity. He was speechless.

"Answer my question, Mr. Commander." I'm getting a little impatient.

"All right, all right—...... loser," muttered the circus master, and then became a little happy. Although the circus was inherited from his father and was the only property he operated, it was not in any way attractive compared to the large sums of money.

"Mr. Wright...... "Kokuliko, who was behind me, had no idea that I would do such a thing—nervous, excited, followed by deep, deep fear. She thinks that she is not worth as much as the circus, and all the possessions of the circus, all the tangible assets and intangible assets combined, are not worth one-tenth of the price I offered. The only person who can do such a thing is a madman, who is a psychopath. The thought of working under this handsome-looking neurotic man scared him to death.

"It's alright, Kokuliko." I smiled and said to her, "Stay here for a while." I'll be right back. ”

"Ah...... Well. Although very uneasy, Kokuli smiled reluctantly:

"I'll wait for you to come back."

So he said something that was almost equivalent to his wife's.

"It doesn't matter." To Kokuliko's surprise, I hugged her again, "You don't need to force a smile anymore, Kokuliko. You can express whatever mood you want. ”

"Yes, yes?"

Of course, Kokuli didn't choose to believe me because I said this, and she still looked like she was smiling.

"So be it." I stood up and spoke to the circus master, who had been waiting impatiently. After that, the Banque de France picked us up in a special car. And sent a seemingly shrewd and capable salesman to convince us to complete the transaction directly by bank transfer.

"It seems that your bank's position is a little unpleasant." I couldn't help but be sarcastic: "Originally, as the number one loan shark merchant in Europe, the Banque de France was always proud of its capital, and I remember that when the consortium to which I belonged wanted to intervene in the market of the French colonies, it was troubled by your bank...... Hehe. ”

I could see the other party's embarrassment at a glance, and then I couldn't help but say sarcastic. After the First World War, the clerks of the Banque de France, which had shrunk completely, could only smirk awkwardly and dare not speak out.

"Huh? Don't have cash?! "My words made the circus director unhappy - the worst thing anyone who has a bank deposit fears is that the bank will fail, or that his position will fail, and he will not be able to get his money out. So he insisted on settling in cash. The Bancée de France had no choice but to make me a Norman joke in order to save face for the old imperialists, so in the end it had to agree to our request.
