Lord of the Mysteries
Chapter 50
Half past seven in the evening, around the Moretti family’s dining table.
“Klein, why do you need to be at work so early as a consultant? Would emergency matters at the security company be more dangerous?” Benson forked a potato from a dish of potato-stewed beef as he raised the matter in concern.
Klein carefully spat out the bones from a pan-fried dish and gave his prepared answer.
“A batch of historical documents needed immediate shipping to Backlund. I had to be present to handle the handover and make sure there was nothing missing. As you can guess, the bunch of fist-swinging bastards don’t know any Feysac.”
Upon hearing his answer, Benson, who had finished chewing his food, could not help but sigh.
“Knowledge is truly important.”
Making use of this opportunity, Klein took out the remaining five-pound note and handed it to Benson.
“This is my additional payment I received today. It’s time you get some decent clothes too.”
“Five pounds?” Benson and Melissa said in unison.
Benson took the note and looked at it repeatedly. He said in both shock and doubt, “This security company sure is generous…”
His weekly salary was one pound ten soli, which meant six pounds exactly every four weeks. He only earned one additional pound from this additional payment!
And with that salary, he had managed to support his siblings, giving them a decent place to stay and allowing them to eat meat two to three times a week. Every year, they could get a few new clothes!
“Are you doubting me?” Klein deliberately returned with a question.
Benson chuckled. “I doubt you have the ability nor the guts to rob a bank.”
“You aren’t someone who can lie,” Melissa answered seriously after lowering her fork and knife.
I-I’m now someone used to lying… Klein immediately felt a little ashamed.
Although it was a result of the circumstances of his reality, his sister’s belief in him left him melancholic.
“It was relatively urgent and important today. I also played a crucial role… which is the reason for the five pounds,” Klein explained.
In a way, what he said was the truth.
As for the five pounds that he would be reimbursed with—the one he would use to join the Divination Club—he planned on concealing it. Firstly, if he brought five pounds home again, he would truly scare his siblings, making them suspect he was doing something illegal. Secondly, he had to save to buy additional materials to practice being a Seer and to grasp more mysticism knowledge.
Benson bit off a mouthful of wheat bread in satisfaction and thought for more than ten seconds.
“The work I’m at doesn’t need any decent clothes. Well, to be precise, the clothes at home are sufficient.”
he suggested, “With this additional income, we would truly have savings. I plan on buying a few books on accountancy and studying. Klein, Melissa, I do not wish that my weekly salary remain below two pounds
