My Beloved Dog is the Strongest in Another World-Chapter 980

The allowance was higher than I imagined

“Indeed… It might be good from an education perspective. Most children in the town also receive a small allowance from their parents.”

“They even receive some at the orphanage.”

“I don’t know if she will actually learn anything from it… But I just don’t want her to hesitate anymore.”

Even now, I could tell that she hesitated a lot.

In that case, perhaps having some money of her own would help?

“So, uh, I don’t know if I should be asking how much Tilura receives…”

“There is no reason to hide it. I believe Tilura receives three pieces of gold. Isn’t that right, Sebastian?”

“Yes. Three gold coins every month.”

“Uh…three gold coins!?”

That would be 300,000 yen in Japan…

It was a lot of money to give a child. I had wanted to use it for reference in deciding how much to give to Liza. But it looked like I would have to ignore it.

“Lady Tilura often plays with other children her age, as well as Leo and Rahle. So she doesn’t spend the money very often. I think most of it is saved up.”

“At first we considered giving her five…but we decided to start at three and increase it as she gets older. But since she has never done anything foolish with the money, I’m thinking we could increase it sooner… Uh, Mr. Takumi?”

“Ah, um… I was just surprised. That is a lot…”

It was not that much different from what a young salary man would make. And so I was stunned and had to be snapped out of it by Claire.

“So, how much should I give Liza… It’s not like she really wants anything… It does not have to be so high…”

“Indeed… What about one gold then?”

“I think that is a good idea. In terms of learning, she might want to try and support a merchant.”

“A merchant?”

Could children do such a thing?

But when I asked about it, apparently, it was not unusual for the children of nobles to find stores or merchants that they favored, and sponsor them in some way.

With extra funds, merchants would be able to broaden their stock and give special treatment to the customer who supported them.

As children of nobles could also protect merchants, this kind of relationship was very advantageous.

Of course, a few extra gold every month was not going to make a huge difference. So seeing what was done with it… That was one way to learn about business.

I suppose it was like a small investment.

“Did you ever do that, Claire?”

“I…gave money to the orphanage. Not a lot. I was more interested in seeing the children grow, instead of fattening the purses of merchants.”

While adults tended to direct their children towards using their money for business, in the end, it was the child’s decision.

“Perhaps that’s what helped Claire have such a good eye when judging human character?”

“Well, we servants believe that she always had a talent for that. Still, rather than one merchant, looking at an orphanage will give you a broad view of many different kinds of personalities, with different situations.”
