Combat Maid Harem

Chapter 712 How To Earn Quick Cash By Lawrend

Ember was talking about herself. She had already offered up herself to him. There was no point fussing about money.

"If you say so."

Lawrend didn't feel inclined to reject her offer.

Ember paid for the material, and they looked for the others. Lawrend was able to gather more than half of the missing materials he needed. The problem was that they couldn't find the rest.

"Where did you even hear about these materials, Master?" Ember asked.

It was already late in the afternoon. They had looked through most of the stalls and shops. None of the sellers had heard what material Lawrend was looking for.

"There's a book about it in the library of the empire. It's a very old one," Lawrend answered tiredly.

Using his eyes to look through so many items was quite tiring. He had probably seen more than a million items today. Many of them were the same thing, but he had to pay close attention because they might be hidden in plain sight.

"Let's go back, Master. I don't think we can find it here. You will get another chance once we arrive at Phoenix Main Hall," Ember replied.

She was tired of helping him look for it. Many of the people here had already recognized them. Being the center of attention was tiring since they had to consciously pay attention to their footsteps and facial expressions.

It was a problem only famous people could understand.

"That's a good idea."

The couple returned to the hotel.

...

"Master, the kids want to go out," Aezel said, meeting them in the hallway to their rooms.

She was in her maid uniform and had a troubled look on her face.

"Are they getting bored already?" Lawrend asked.

"Yes... If possible, Sister Elena, Sister Aleshia, Sister Humility, and I want to accompany them. We also want to look around and see what's interesting here," Aezel said.

"Alright. Come back safe. You can use your darkness magic, and I will come running," Lawrend replied.

He gave her permission to use that magic. He didn't want her to use it before because her darkness magic was too pure. It was a tell-tale sign that she was a fallen angel.

Lawrend was sensitive to mana, so he would be able to feel it when she used her darkness magic spells.

"Fufufu. Don't you want to come with us?" Aezel asked as she leaned closer to him.

"I'm tired but fine."

Lawrend couldn't resist it when she asked that way, and it was for his family anyways. He nodded his head at Ember.

"Stay safe, Master. I will go rest," Ember said and left.

She could faintly feel what her other sisters felt. Thus, she gave them this opportunity to spend some quality time with Lawrend. She already knew that she would be spending a lot of time with him since they were in the Ignis Clan.

It wasn't a problem for her not to join this one.

"Fufufu. Thank you, Sister Ember. We will have our fun," Aezel replied.

Ember turned around and smiled at her before she entered her room right farther into the hallway.

"Wait for me, Master. I will go inform them," Aezel said.

She came back a few minutes later with an entourage of little kids following behind her. Lawrend smiled at his children.

"We don't have Ember with us, so we will have to look around ourselves. Wouldn't that be fun?" Lawrend asked.

"Ohh!"

"Father is adventurous!"

"But I like Auntie Ember, Fathew..."

Lawrend's children made clamor with his words. The silent hotel hallway became noisy in an instant.

"She's tired. Is everyone here?" Lawrend asked Aezel at the back.

"Yes, Master," Aezel replied.

Elena, Aleshia, and Humility were all standing behind her.

"I will lead the way," Lawrend said.

And just like a tour guide for a preschool class, Lawrend went around Eridanus City with them. Many noticed and recognized him. They all grimaced after realizing that all of the kids behind him were his.

The day went well as they asked around before checking out various tourist spots in the city. They had museums, guard towers, a broken magical formation that looked interesting, and others.

...

Lawrend returned to his room feeling happy and satisfied. Even though he wasn't that much of a family person back in his previous world, his children made him appreciate having a family.

"I need to earn money for myself," Lawrend said to himself while he sat on his bed.

Even though he was perfectly fine with having Ember foot the bill for all of the materials, it still hurt his ego and pride. He wanted to be a wealthy Master that only needed to wave his hand to buy something.

Thus, Lawrend formulated a plan. He wrote ideas on sheets of paper for a few hours. When the idea sucked, he would burn it with a touch of a finger.

"This is it," Lawrend said and lifted up the paper in his hand that was filled with handwriting. A wide grin was visible on his face.

...

Lawrend sneakily left the hotel the next morning. He headed to the City Square, where a huge stage was set up.

He then took out a large wooden sign from his storage ring and propped it up beside the City Square's entrance.

[PAY 10 EARTH MAGE FIRE MANA STONES FOR A LESSON ABOUT MAGIC.]

Many passersby were Earth Mages, and they chuckled at the sign. Though, some people saw Lawrend set the sign up, so they became curious.

They entered the seating area in front of the stage and looked around.

"Please put your payment here," Lawrend said.

He pointed at the corner of the stage.

The two Earth Mages were slightly skeptical, but they were still curious. They put their payments there and took a seat. He was, after all, the lover of Princess Ember.

He was an enigma to them. He also had a rumor that he was very strong, but no one knew how 'strong' that was. These rumors started spreading from the small group of Earth Mages that saw him easily pass through the flaming wall.
