Chapter 67 Strong Enemy

Part 2

“Why ... How did such things happen...?”

Eva confirms my debt memo and says in a quivering voice.

Her mouth was agape and her eyes wide open. It is a rare expression for Eva as she always looks calm.

Even me, I don’t feel like leaning on the back of my chair like usual but instead fold my arms and pretend to think.

Although the income of “Strange Grief” is equal, if a Party Member wants some of the items they obtained, such as a specific Relics or monster material then our rule is to let the Member buy it at a price lower than the market price and give that money to the Party.

Well, we are companion who knows each other, most of the Members had little desire so we have been pretty casual about those rules. But the reason why my debt naturally increased is probably because I had bought most of the Relics which is expensive even with a Hunter income.

Since I had no money, during my travel, every time I bought one, I was borrowing from everyone but after our newest Member, Eliza joined, Sytry took over as she has the most room for it.

I am in a state where I am completely spoiled. I have been looking away until now, but this is very bad... Probably.

Eva knows of the Relics lining up in my private room. At the same time, she also knows of the contents of my wallet and the amount of savings I have. I am kind of half using her as my personal secretary. She may be able to deduce how I was able to fall into such a predicament.

“Weeell... I have too many Relic I wanted...”

“... Even top-class Hunters can’t gather that much, you know? I was wondering how you could buy one Relics after another...”

“Un, un, you are right... At the same time, as the Level of Shrines my party could capture increased, the Relics they brought back were getting more expensive, so the debt increase further and further.”

It is big enough that it is strange that no one pointed out so far. It is so huge that I don’t really feel it anymore. Shocking.

Eva scrapes her bangs and presses her forehead. Her expression seems more serious than me, the one who is responsible.

“... I knew that sometimes you would take operational expenses from the Clan to buy Relics but... As you return it immediately, I let my guard down.”

Un, un... Sytry was the one who filled that hole. There is no other choice so, should I just get married?

The motive is... Too impure.

“I, I will at least ask but... You didn’t borrow from the outside, right?”

“Only from Sytry.”

I see... I can’t say it until I try, but it may be true.

But I am in a bind now... If it is like this, how can I make money?

I don’t have any special skills. I only have the ability of a regular person even though my level is disproportionately high.

I can’t eat if it isn’t boil or cooked. Isn’t it worse than just an incompetent? I’m gonna puke.

Can I only count on Liz, Sytry, Lucia and Tino donation? Aren’t I garbage?

“Instead of a side job... Isn’t it better to dive in a Shrine, solo? As you are a Hunter.”

Eva also seems to tell me to die.

As I give up and give a pitiful smile, Eva made a long sight enough to get her soul out.

“Come on, don’t make such a pitiful expression! ... Fortunately, we have funds, if we take time, we can increase the funds a little bit. Cry-san just don’t do anything! Do you understand? There is no need to increase the debt anymore. Because the most common cause for a party to collapse is financial issues.”

So, I need to do nothing, right?

... I can only depend on Eva to do everything... What is the difference from borrowing from Sytry?

It helps me but Eva has her own job. She should already have a considerable burden just from running a big Clan.

And you add my debt to clean up, I am way too sorry. I am too of a useless human.

“Cry-san, you just have to stand confidently. By just pulling yourself together, it makes thing easier for me.”

“... Eva’s standard for pulling myself is quite low, eh. You mean for me to shut up and sit down right?”

“......”

She turns her eyes away. What became do your work as a Clan Master?

TL notes:

Thx for reading!

Haha Cry really want to open a sweet shop he mentions it every time.

I think that Eva is afraid of Cry starting a fortune teller business and becoming the number 1 in the capital so she just told him to sit down and do nothing. XD

When Cry talked about good or bad job it made me remember Asterix and Obelix mission cleopatra with the scribe, French people will understand and that part where Jamel start to talk in Chinese as I understand it. It was so funny XD

Tchao à plus.
