Poor magical girls, work for me!

brush brush...

Ryosuke Miyagi's "The Witcher's Hunting Manual" in his right hand automatically turned to the second page.

After the top line reads "Corrupted Worms (Bounty: 50 Silver Coins.)," a completely new font begins to appear.

"Yue Temple - Wild God - Resentful Ox God: Ugly Clown (Bounty: 10 Gold Coins)"

Having learned from the experience of dropping 50 silver coins the first time.

Ryosuke Miyagi reaches out!

The 10 gold coins weighed heavily on my palm.

He picked up one of the gold coins and examined it closely.

The gold coin is round and thick, with a fine knurled edge. The obverse features a double-headed eagle and a crown in relief, with the eagle holding a ribbon engraved with strange runes in its beak. The lines are sharp and bold. The reverse features ancient numerals for the year and a unique star-shaped stamp.

The battle has ended, but it is not the end of everything. Among the loot dropped by the vengeful wild god are several priceless treasures.

Especially noteworthy is the seemingly inconspicuous old ring in the corner—it once belonged to a newlywed husband. The name engraved on the inside of the ring could easily lead to his wife's whereabouts.

The woman, tormented day and night by alcoholism, violence, and fear, still lives in her empty home, anxiously awaiting the return of that demon. You should wear this ring and personally deliver the "good news" that he has completely disappeared to her.

With your calm and assertive demeanor, a few gentle words of comfort are all it takes to easily disarm her and ease all her defenses and anxieties. She will treat you with the utmost sincerity, perhaps even blushing and timidly hoping you will stay and keep her company through this long and uneasy night…

Ryosuke Miyagi ignored the voice in his head; he wasn't so idle as to pick up a ring and do those things.

After all, finding someone takes a long time.

He wouldn't be foolish enough to try something without enough details.

……

Ryosuke Miyagi put away the extra gold coins, keeping only three in his hand.

Now it's time to pay the wages; keeping one's word is an essential quality for a "boss".

No employee dislikes receiving a substantial monetary reward after a thrilling battle!

The gold coins you actually receive are the real rewards!

"Senior Yukio, you performed exceptionally well this time. This is your reward."

With a flick of his finger, Ryosuke Miyagi sent a gold coin flying through the air, tracing a bright golden arc as it spun and tumbled.

remuneration!

gold!

Matsushima Yukio instinctively raised her hand, palm up, and caught it steadily.

Actually, she was a little worried before coming. The reward of one gold coin was too generous, especially when she learned that everyone would receive one gold coin.

She became even more worried.

Ryosuke Miyagi needs to spend four gold coins for a single battle; is this how you squander money?

But at that moment, a cool and heavy sensation came over me.

They are definitely gold coins.

The pinnacle of extraordinary currencies – gold coins!

She gently pressed her fingertips against the metal surface, feeling the delicate edges of the knurled texture...

I was lucky enough to touch a gold coin once, but I never actually owned it.

I still remember that feeling...

But now she has a gold coin!

Matsushima Yukio's favorability (30): Your generosity greatly increases her favorability towards you! If there are any more such good things, please feel free to ask her!

……

"Kiyone, this is for you. Thank you for your hard work."

Nanatsuji Kirion stared at the gold coins flying towards her.

For a moment I felt a little dazed.

Witchers are really rich...

Just by casually setting up a few layers of barriers, one can obtain a gold coin... This reward is far too easy to earn.

The shrine's entire year's revenue flew towards her.

She deftly raised her hand to catch it, twirling the gold coin halfway between her fingertips, her eyes shining with an astonishing light.

Ryosuke Miyagi is my benefactor!!!

A single gold coin is worth more than 300 million yen.

Nanatsuji Kirion's favorability rating (55): A generous benefactor! As long as he's around, even a curse can be resolved!

…………

"Last one is Hoshina's."

Momose Sena stood almost touching Miyagi Ryosuke, her eyes fixed on the last glittering gold coin in his palm, unwilling to look away, like a little beast guarding a treasure.

She had just watched Yukio-senpai and Kirion-ko-nii receive the gold coins and was already impatient to do it herself!

"Take it."

Ryosuke Miyagi opened his palm and handed the gold coins to her.

Momose Sena held her breath and carefully reached out.

She was truly terrified of being poor...

I actually received a gold coin for participating in the kill of a mid-level monster.

Compared to those stingy officials who won't even release bounties, they really should be more generous!

Give me more!

I'd give my life for him!!

Momose Sena gently pinched the gold coin, then abruptly pulled it back into her palm and clenched it tightly.

The tangible feeling of holding it.

Sell ​​it!

Debts demanding payment! My mother's medical expenses!

Both can be resolved to some extent!

Is this a gold coin?

No! This is hope for life!

"And here's an extra reward for you; we're very satisfied with your performance in battle."

Ryosuke Miyagi took out two more silver coins and handed them to Hoshina Momose.

That was the price that had to be paid for the full salary.

Momose Sena's favorability has reached (50): One gold coin greatly relieved my financial burden! If I had more gold coins, there's nothing I wouldn't give up!

……

Everyone has received their pay.

The favorability rating has increased by at least 5 points.

There's never a free lunch. Capitalists never care how much they give, because the money they give will soon return to you in another form.

[The true value of the resentful wild god—that divine bell!]

Ryosuke Miyagi walked to the center of the battlefield.

He crouched down and picked up the broken bell from the ashes.

The voice in my head was absolutely right; this was indeed the biggest gain from this campaign!

A low-level artifact.

The encyclopedia entry for 【Yueci Temple - Wild God - Resentful Ox God: "Serving the Ugly Character"】 is available there.

This bell is the true source of its power.

Because of the infection of resentment, its effect has been reversed.

The resentment has now dissipated, though some damage has occurred.

The effect of relieving fatigue has been restored.

Ryosuke Miyagi took the [Amazing Bell] in his hand.

The golden bell was covered with cracks, but the ancient runes engraved on it were still visible.

The runes were now dim and lifeless, but they still emitted faint fluctuations of spiritual energy.

"This is..." Matsushima Yukio noticed the bell in Miyagi Ryosuke's hand.

"The core of the vengeful wild god?"

"Um."

Ryosuke Miyagi nodded.

"Although it is severely damaged, the core is still intact. It should be considered a low-level divine artifact."

Artifact!

Not only Matsushima Yukio, but also Momose Sena and Nanatsuji Kirion looked at the bell in his hand with burning eyes.

You feel the burning gazes of the three women, but there is only one bell. As the successor of capital, you understand a principle: what you can't get is always the most expensive.

A semi-divine artifact is worth over 50 gold coins. Are you ready to start bidding?! They may not have money, but they can buy on credit.

A young girl is burdened with debt! And as the debt collector, you'll always have to charge a little bit of interest.

[Reward: 1000 debt collection techniques (800 are outdated, the version has been updated! Magical girl, you don't want to be unable to pay the interest, right?)]

"I have already paid the reward for the extermination, but this semi-divine artifact... was indeed not included in the agreement."

He lightly tapped the edge of the bell with his fingertip, producing a soft, clear sound.

"However, I'm not very interested in possessing it. But for you, it's a divine artifact."

He paused, his gaze sweeping over Matsushima Yukio's calmly scrutinizing eyes, Momose Sena's subconsciously leaning forward, and Nanatsuji Kirion's tightly pursed lips.

"We need it more, don't we?"

Ryosuke Miyagi withdrew his hand, gently tossed the bell up and caught it again.

"Since it cannot be divided equally, it shall be taken by the person who needs it most. However, the person who receives it shall pay a corresponding 'price'."

"cost?"

Matsushima Yukio was the first to react. She looked at the gold coins she had just received and hadn't even warmed her hands yet, and her brows furrowed slightly.

"That's right."

Ryosuke Miyagi held the bell up to the moonlight, its broken metal surface reflecting a faint glow.

"Although this [Anlao Bell] is somewhat damaged, it is still a low-level divine artifact. Its core function is to dispel fatigue and restore mental energy."

He paused, then continued.

"Considering its actual value, my starting bid is 20 gold coins."

20 gold coins!

The three girls gasped simultaneously.

"20 gold coins..." Momose Hoshina muttered to herself, glancing at the gold coin in her hand and then at the bell in Miyagi Ryosuke's hand.

too expensive.

20 gold coins... She had never even seen so many before.

But... that thing seems to be of great help to my mother...

"But...we only have one gold coin..."

"You can pay on credit."

Ryosuke Miyagi shrugged, his tone as relaxed as if he were saying, "The weather's nice today." "I can give you the bells first, and you can pay me back slowly."

"No interest, and..."

Ryosuke Miyagi added.

"If you really can't pay it back, you can use a mission to settle the debt. Or you can use other materials or similar items to settle the debt. I won't force you to pay, after all, you are all my employees."

He spoke casually, but all three understood the underlying meaning in his words.

Debts must be repaid; if you don't have something to pledge immediately, you can use something else as collateral.

It's the same old trick to get your salary in advance.

Debt represents a deeper level of entanglement...

A silence fell over the room.

Under the moonlight, the damaged [Anlaoling] still emitted a faint golden glow.

That was the unique spiritual energy fluctuation of a divine artifact.

For magical girls who have been fighting for a long time...

The allure of this magical bell is simply too great.

"I……"

Nanatsuji Kirion bit her lip.

No one can refuse a magical tool.

Twenty gold coins may sound like a lot, but the price of the artifact itself far exceeds twenty.

And you can even buy on credit!

If we had this bell...

"20 gold coins... I'll take them."

Nanatsuji Kirion took a deep breath and looked up at Miyagi Ryosuke. A divine artifact was extremely important to the Nanatsuji Shrine!

We must take it on, even if it means going into debt!

Ryosuke Miyagi raised an eyebrow.

"Someone has made a bid; this is the first time, 20 gold coins."

"etc!"

Matsushima Yukio suddenly spoke.

She looked at the gold coin in her hand, then at the bell, and finally gritted her teeth.

Her dream is to possess a magical artifact.

Debt! Debt is debt! The magical artifact is her obsession!!

"25 gold coins!"

"Oh?" Ryosuke Miyagi looked at her with interest.

"Now it's 25 gold coins for the first time."

Prices have already started to rise.

"30 pieces!"

Nanatsuji Kirion showed no weakness whatsoever.

"35 pieces!"

Matsushima Yukio gritted her teeth and followed suit.

The two seemed to be competing with each other.

That's a divine artifact right in front of us!

The two of them went back and forth, and the price kept rising.

Ryosuke Miyagi stood to the side, his smile growing ever brighter.

Meanwhile, Momose Sena was trembling with fear.

"How...how scary..."

It sounded like they weren't calling for gold coins, but for Japanese yen...

One gold coin is worth 300 million yen!

When did gold coins become so worthless? Why are people shouting "five at a time"?

You can buy on credit, but you have to pay it back.

30 pieces!

9000 yen!

But then I thought, 9000 million yen, a magical artifact.

It doesn't seem like a huge loss.

Momose Sena hesitated, clutching the gold coin tightly in her hand.

If the artifact is given to the mother, her illness can be effectively treated.

The restoration of mental strength is extremely important for patients...

She was struggling.

"40 pieces!"

Matsushima Yukio shouted out 40!

40 gold coins...that's 12000 million yen!

Nanatsuji Kirion bit her lip and remained silent for a few seconds.

"...I give up."

She shook her head in the end.

"40 gold coins...that's too many."

"40 gold coins for the first time."

Ryosuke Miyagi slowly began to speak.

"The second time."

"third……"

"45 pieces!!"

Suddenly, a trembling voice rang out.

Everyone was stunned.

They all turned their heads to look at the source of the sound.

Momose Sena.

She was holding up her trembling little hand, her cheeks flushed.

"I...I'll offer 45 gold coins!! I'll do anything!"

At this moment, Momose Sena's inner thoughts were: Debt is debt! Suffering is nothing, I'm willing to do anything! The divine artifact must be given to my mother…
