LGHTNOVELBOOK Volume 1 Chapter 108
I decided to overlook Yoshino-san’s embezzlement and not compromise with cheap women.
“Sorry about that. I’m grateful to you. Next time, I’ll teach you how to acquire magic skills.”
“Thanks.”
He’s somewhat hard to hate…
“The money will be transferred, but how should we proceed?”
“Use this.”
I placed the prepared credit card on the table.
“Hmm? Satsuki-san’s, huh…”
Yoshino-san took the credit card, flipping it back and forth.
“Right. It wouldn’t be good in my name.”
“Ah, I see. Okay, I’ll transfer it to this card. I’ll talk to the chief and do it right away.”
This seems quick.
“Here’s the recovery potion.”
I placed the bag I had hung on the chair onto the table.
“A bag? An item bag?”
“Yeah. The 100-kilo one. I’m giving it as is because it’s troublesome.”
“Troublesome…? You’re giving away a 100-kilo bag just for that? The item bag I paid 42.5 million yen for?”
Oh, her eyes look a bit scary.
“I’m giving the item bag to Yoshino-san. After deducting the embezzled amount, it’s 22.5 million yen for two.”
“I heard you gave Nanapon a 1000-kilo item bag for free?”
That kid must have bragged about it.
“I’ll give that too.”
Well, it’s just a rubber band, so it’s fine.
“You’re a good guy! Next time, I’ll teach you how to acquire the digging skill.”
Yoshino-san’s face lit up again.
“No, I don’t need that skill.”
“What else was there…”
Yoshino-san crossed his arms and started thinking.
“No need to go that far.”
“Hmm, well, I’ll think about it.”
Yoshino-san, like Rin-san, is a serious and caring person.
“Don’t expect me to return the money. That’s your compensation. If you want, I’ll give you potions too.”
“Hmm? You’ve already spent the money?”
“Gave it to Kaede-chan.”
“Did you… sponsor her?”
Yoshino-san looked a bit taken aback.
“It’s fine.”
“Hmm… Kaede is a little devil, huh.”
Yoshino-san said that, so I looked at Kaede-chan next to me.
“Tehe.”
Kaede-chan stuck out her tongue and winked.
“See, cute.”
I nodded while looking at Yoshino-san.
“From my perspective as the same sex, it’s irritating…”
“From my perspective as the opposite sex, it’s super cute.”
“Is that so…”
Yoshino-san blinked rapidly.
“Can’t do it…”
Apparently, Yoshino-san can’t wink.
“Anyway, you’re not that type.”
“Right. Yoshino-san is more like an older sister.”
Indeed, she seems like someone you’d find in a health room!
“Huh…”
Yoshino-san straightened up, crossed her arms, and struck a pose.
“Looks like a capable office lady!”
“Like an efficient secretary!”
Kaede-chan and I clapped.
“Right, right. You two understand well. Oh, by the way, the chief asked about Okita-kun, so I said he’s Kaede’s boyfriend.”
Yoshino-san mentioned it as if just remembering.
“Me?”
Kaede-chan tilted her head and pointed at herself.
“I was asked why I included Okita-kun in my party. Well, my party is under the chief, so…”
“I won’t help.”
That’s a hassle.
“I know. I’ve made it clear he won’t be involved in such matters. Okita-kun is the same age as me and Rin, and is Kaede’s boyfriend, so I added him to the party.”
So, that’s the story we’re going with.
“What did the chief say? Wasn’t he suspicious?”
“He believed it normally. Told me to do my best.”
Well, I will.
“Then, that’s fine.”
“Yes, yes. Well, I should be going now… Oh, right. When are you going on an adventure next?”
Yoshino-san asked, slightly lifting his hips.
“Eleanor and Nanapon are going tomorrow. Haven’t planned beyond that.”
“How about the day after tomorrow, then? Together?”
The day after tomorrow, huh…
“What about Kaede-chan?”
I checked with Kaede-chan.
“I’m working too. Let’s go together!”
Kaede-chan grabbed my sleeve with a sweet voice.
“Okay. Yoshino-san, let’s meet in the morning.”
“Hmm… Little devil… 24 years old, though.”
Yoshino-san looked at Kaede-chan, impressed.
“Ah, I want to hit her.”
Kaede-chan’s expression turned serious.
“Hey, Yoshino! What are you saying! Kaede-chan
is cute, so it’s fine!”
She’s doing it for me!
“Sorry… Seems I caught Satsuki-san’s grudge. She complained a lot in the car after leaving your house last time.”
So, she complained to Yoshino-san.
“Sorry about that.”
“Sorry.”
Reflecting…
“Apologies don’t help!”
Of course.
