「Kyaaaaaa!!! Werewolf!!」(Ai)

While shouting, Ai b.u.mps her forehead with the werewolf’s chest and is blown off magnificently. While shouting, Ai b.u.mps her forehead onto the werewolf’s forehead and hurls away.

「What! This lively ne-chan! Are you a customer of this store? Oi! Ruel! Show your face!」(??)

Noisy. To shout like that. I can hear them perfectly. Leaving that aside, is Ai alright?

「It hurtsーーー!! Don’t b.u.mp yo Watch where you’re going!!」(Ai)

「What!? Ne-chan. That’s not the att.i.tude when you’ve b.u.mped into someone, you know. Let’s go outside for a while.」(??)

The werewolf extends his right hand towards Ai and tries to grab Ai’s head.

「Nooo!!! D-don’t hurt me!!!!!!!」(Ai)

Ai cries while looking over here. It looks that she needs some help. The time when I try to call the werewolf

「Gin. There’s no arrangement for you to come here today right? Can you come back later? Because right now I’m in a middle of a negotiation. 」(Ruel)

Ruel leaves her seat calls the werewolf called Gin while approaching him. She stands before Gin’s eyes but their heights difference is so intense.

It is about 50cm isn’t it?

「Ah!? Surprisingly, the big mouth just turned up! Ruel-sanー!」(Gin)

「I have a business with these two right now. I don’t want to cancel it.」(Ruel)

「Kke! What business? It’s just measly business isn’t?」(Gin)

「No, that’s not it. For me, 20 gold coins is a quite big deal.」(Ruel)

「Hou, that’s quite a sum isn’t it? So, will there be a prospective payment? Nnh?」(Gin)

「It is alright. I’ll make it to the fixed date.」(Ruel)

「I see. If that’s the case, then it’s good. It’s not like I love doing something like this. Don’t think anything bad about it.」(Gin)

「Oh well, it can’t be helped because it’s a job. But if the payment is impossible, will that contract be implemented?」(Ruel)

「That’s right. Because it’s a contract. Without the contract, we’ll be just a moneylender of a charitable enterprise.」(Gin)

「I’ll absolutely make it until the fixed date. Until then, I don’t want you to come here. I’ll be a little bit busy as I will open the store quite often.」(Ruel)

「Well, we don’t have a problem as long as you keep it until the fixed date. So today, I’m going to let go the big mouthed customer and disperse. But, Ruel-san. The deadline is near! Collect all the 100 gold coins without fail!!」

「Yeah, I understood.」(Ruel)

「I see you later! And ne-chan, make sure to look in front when you walk! 」(Gin)

The huge werewolf kicks the door at the entrance to open it and goes out. W-what is that size. It is not less than 2 meter, right?

「Ai, come and sit over here. I’ll tell you what just happened and what has happened until now.」(Ruel)

Ai who is still confused sits on the chair.

It seems that she has calm down.

Is it good? Is it bad? Will the misunderstanding be cleared? Or not?

Ruel starts talking.

「I can’t hide it with what had happened until now. That loud werewolf just now is Gin. He’s a debt-collector of Finance Guild. And this shop has debts with that guild. The deadline for the payment is near but I still can’t pay it……」(Ruel)

「There are debts? Is it about 100 gold coins just now?」

「Yes. The contract is that if I can’t pay the debts then I’ll be sold as a slave and this shop will disappear.」(Ruel)

「Ruel-san……Putting that aside, can you tell me what happened to my brother in details.」(Ai) (T/n: the other matter is more important lol) 

「Eh…alright. I wonder if I should continue this talk once that issue is over……」(Ruel)

Ruel talks about the magic attribute test with Yuki and water magic in the kitchen in details. Four attributes and their powers, the method to take out the water, how the water goes out and like that the explanation ends.

For some reason, Ai is smiling.

「Brother, you’re not explaining them properly. Misunderstanding is not good you know?」(Ai)

「I see? Is it my bad? I don’t really understand it but sorry. But, by no means that I’ll hate Ai.」

「That’s right, we have to be on good terms since both of us are brother and sister right!」(Ai)

I don’t really understand but somehow we manage to reconcile as her smile has returned to its spot.

What in the world did you misunderstand about……

「 I’ll close the shop now since I’m going to talk something serious.」(Ruel)

Ruel leaves her seat and walks toward the entrance. She opens the door and goes out. I can’t see it but it seems that she’s doing something. Then, Ruel comes back. I wonder if she put the 【Close】sign?

「Sorry for the wait. With this, there will be no new customer coming in. Let’s continue with the talk. 」(Ruel)

And once again, Ruel begins to talk……

Ruel has debts. I have debts too. Without money, my head will be turned in too. When I hear about the slaves and debts, won’t it will be hard for me to return to the original world?

It can’t be helped then! I’ll return them! My debts and Ruel’s debts as well!
