Chapter Six: Asking Teacher

Once all of the merchants had departed, Patty and I made our way over to the town hall to tell Karen the good news. If you’re wondering where Aina was at this point, she had gone home early since the sun was about to set. She had worked really hard these past three days, so I’d ordered her to go and get some rest.

“Look at this mountain of gold coins, Karen!” I said as I emptied the contents of my bag on the table in Karen’s office, the coins clinking off one another as they tumbled out.

A gasp escaped Karen’s lips. “I-I don’t believe my eyes! Is this all from the merchants?” she asked.

“Yup. Well, nearly all,” I corrected myself. “A few adventurers pitched in too.”

“And you got all this in just one day? I must be dreaming.”

“You’re not,” I said with a grin. “They’re real all right. I actually had to turn down the last few people as things were starting to get a bit too overwhelming. Right, boss?”

“Yup!” Patty confirmed with a nod. “It was scary! The merchants and adventurers were all yelling over each other, begging Shiro to let them give him more money.”

Karen nodded absentmindedly, her eyes still fixed on the huge pile of coins. “H-How many gold coins did you get in the end?” she asked.

“Exactly 3,000,” I replied.

Karen’s reaction was instant. “3,000...” she repeated, her eyes as wide as they could go, in huge contrast to her usual calm and collected demeanor. Not that I blamed her, since 3,000 gold coins was roughly 30 billion yen. It was the kind of sum very few people ever laid eyes on. Well, unless they were nobles or highly successful merchants, at least.

“I’m assuming it’ll be enough to build some inns and lodgings for the refugees,” I said, a proud grin plastered across my face.

But Karen was frozen in place, silently gawking at the pile of coins.

“Uh, Karen? Hello?” I said, but still no answer was forthcoming.

Patty must have started feeling a little concerned for Karen because she flew over to her, landed on her shoulder, and slapped her on the cheek a few times. When Karen still didn’t react, the little fairy turned to me with a horrified look on her face. “Sh-Shiro! Karen’s dead!”

“Wait, really?” I said, playing along and pretending to be shocked.

“No, I’m not!” Karen protested, her brain seemingly finally rebooting.

Good. I thought we were about to lose her there. “You sure you’re okay?” I asked her.

“Yes. I just lost my composure for a moment,” she replied, scratching her cheek in embarrassment, her face as red as a tomato. She quickly pulled herself together, and regarded me and Patty with a serious look on her face. “Thank you, both of you. Thanks to you, I don’t have to worry about the town’s finances for the time being.”

“Oh, c’mon. There’s no need to thank us,” I said, rolling my eyes.

“Shiro’s right!” Patty squeaked. “We’re friends, aren’t we? Friends look out for each other!”

“But.
