Chapter 66 Debt

Part 2

What I am returning now, is the money she lent me to pay the restoration of the tavern last time.

Most of the foods and the drinks are payed by the other members but I will pay for those expenses when it happens. I don’t follow them to explore Shrines but I still get a share, so this is the least I can do.

When I said that I forgot my wallet and had her paid, Eva reprimanded me.

Sytry blinks her eyes and continuously looks at me.

“No, it is okay. After all this time. I will lend it to you.”

“I borrowed so much that I don’t even remember how much I borrowed until now...”

I have at least taken notes every time I borrows it, but I don’t know the total amount as I never calculated it.

Relics are extremely expensive and since I am only managing the clan, I have no other income. Sytry knows it but she has never told me the sum.

She said in the tavern that it was in the ten digits, but is that true? Doesn’t that make ten billion Gils?

Sitry touches her cheeks and shyly says.

“I have also borrowed a lot... So, I hope I can repay it someday.”

“It can’t be repaid unless it is return gradually.”

“When I get a million or two million back it will just be a drop in the ocean. At that time, I will have you repay it with your body.” Geett the latest novels at novelhall.com

Even like this, I am still careful about financial relationship. Sytry-chan says with her red cheeks.

“First way... is to marry me. If I become your spouse, our assets will be unified, and your debt will naturally disappear. I will do my best to like sweets thing. You can leave it to me to somehow silence Onee-chan. I won’t let one of her fingers touch you.”

It is a funny joke. No, it is not like I am against it, but it is just not something to do to repay my debt.

“... The second way is?”

“The second way is... Cry-san for you to become my adoptive son. I will clean your debt as a present. I know Cry-san very well. I will do all the housework such as cooking and washing, and I will also allow you to eat sweets as a hobby. I will do my best to somehow silence Onee-chan.”

Sytry’s jokes sense is as good as Eva. I can’t really judge it but what is the difference with the first one?

I was getting a little bit nervous, but I didn’t let it show in my face. Then I nod plausibly and ask.

“Those are... attractive proposals. And the third way?”

Sytry answers without a break.

“It is to confess everything and put me in jail. But at that time, it is be sad to be lonely so I will be happy if you put my sister in with me, as a set.”

Don’t say that with a smile. I must be careful to not increase my debt...

In the first place, you say to send you in prison, but I won’t do something so bad to you. I sigh once and decide to evade the subject.

“By the way, the teriyaki you made before with a “Thunder Dragon (Rai Ryū)” was really delicious.

“Ah, that was a homemade special seasoning... I think it will probably be more to your taste if you do it with chicken. After all, “Dragon (Ryu)” taste is worser than livestock which is raised to be eaten. I remember the recipe. Should we grill one tonight?”

Sytry notices my obvious change of subject and rides on the story.

Well then, how I am going to find money?

TL notes:

Later range of ten digits: Cry owes Sytry between 50 billion to 99 billion. Damn, Cry I doubt you can ever afford to repay her...
