Day 137: Not Enough Money!!
Holy Era 6102, Month of the Moon Sheep, 28th day.
Weather: Rain
Uh…I drank too much yesterday.
When I look out of the window, I see that it’s raining… And so the seas would be stormy.
We can not go out to work then… We should just rest at the inn then.
Ah, but I have things to do… Calculations.
I need to be aware of things, like how much Ms. Mia’s boat is going to cost…
In any case, I tried adding up the total of what we have given her.
…There it is! The total amount is…
—8 gold, 84 silver, 70 copper!
…My eyes widened…Huh? What is this amount!?
Yes, we were handing over ninety percent each time. But still…
I took a deep breath and did the numbers again… They were correct.
To make this much in such a short amount of time… What the hell kind of work were we doing?
In order to confirm, I looked through the pages of my diary. Keeping a record really is important.
…Hmm. Terrible things… No wonder we made a lot.
Being an Adventurer means making more money if you put yourself in danger…
So if we do similar work, we will make a similar amount…
And then we will reach our goal… But it was still a tough decision.
As I thought about it, Ms. Mia entered my room.
‘What are you doing, meow?’ Uh, I have a head-ache because we have to pay for your boat.
I said this to her, and she apologized. ‘But it got a little cheaper, meow!’
I asked her why, and she said it was because she was finally able to sell her old boat.
As it was broken, she had trouble when it came to the contract…
It was good news, but it meant I had to make calculations again… How troublesome.
After calculating it again, the amount we had to make to finish the new boat was 20 gold.
…That was a crazy number. Of course, it was much cheaper than buying a ship, but…
We still had plenty of time before we had to pay… What should we do…?
Hmph! To have so many money troubles after becoming an Adventurer!
…No, it’s because I became an Adventurer… Hah…this was a cruel world.
As I groaned over this great amount, it suddenly entered my vision.
The Nekomata Company Membership Card… The one Mr. Bran gave to us when we helped him.
…Ah! The company! The company! Why hadn’t I thought about it before?!
They should give out loans!
I was anxious about going into debt, but we had little other choice.
Besides, even if we were rejected, Mr. Bran was sure to give some good advice.
Yes, we should pay him a visit!
At night, I confided in the others during dinner.
We did not have enough money, and so we should take out a loan.
When I was finished, Ms. Noa and Ms. Nico looked exasperated but nodded.
Only Ms. Mia cried, ‘No debts! Meow!’ But we ignored her tantrum.
Really, whose fault do you think this is!
That’s right, once the boat is completed, we should use it a little.
Otherwise, this would hardly be worth all of the trouble for us!
