The world of Type-Moon starts with saving Altria!

Souji Okita and Ian walked down the road.

"Sai San, what's wrong with you? Why are your eyes red?"

"nothing."

"Hmm...let me think about it!"

Souji Okita jumped in front of Ian and stopped him.

"Is it because becoming a disciple requires a lot of money?"

"..."

Although he was right, Ian didn't want to admit it at all.

He turned his face away and muttered softly.

"nothing dealing with you."

"Why has it nothing to do with me?"

"General——"

"What do you think this is?"

Souji Okita shook two money bags in front of Ian.

"I--"

"I've prepared your portion!"

842. Okita Souji's Contract of Sale? / A Touching Story on Paper (4k)

"..."

Ian felt his head buzzing.

He couldn't believe what he just heard - Okita Souji was going to help him pay for the apprenticeship?

"..."

Looking at Ian standing there in a daze, Okita Souji mistakenly thought that the other party did not understand what he meant, so he shook the bag again.

"Sui San."

"This is your share!"

"Don't worry—it's exactly the same as mine. If I can get through it, you can definitely get through it too!"

"It's not this..." Ian shook his head, his eyes full of apology, "I didn't expect you to prepare something like this for me."

"Because I know that it's not easy for the Toshin family."

Okita Souji replied with a smile.

"With so many people at home...if we waste money recklessly, there will be big problems, right?"

"I'll cover this expense for you."

"Okita..."

Ian bit his lip and shook his head again.

"No, thanks—"

The little boy pushed back the purse that Okita Souji wanted to give him, and then took out the slightly dirty bag that his brother gave him.

He stammered in reply.

"My brother gave it to me."

"Eh?"

Souji Okita's eyes fell on Ian's hand, and then he saw his wallet at a glance.

"impossible!"

"This is your brother's hard-earned money! How can you use it?"

"..."

Ian was silent.

What Okita Souji said certainly made sense - he also knew exactly where his brother got all the money.

but……

It would not be a good idea to just accept money from Okita Souji.

Wouldn't that be equivalent to wasting her things?

My brother will definitely not be happy when he finds out.

This is the kind of thing he hates the most, otherwise he wouldn't be penniless until now.

After much deliberation, Ian finally rejected Souji Okita's kindness.

"No way."

"I... absolutely cannot accept your money like this. My brother will be very angry when he finds out!"

"Okita, thank you."

"..."

Looking at the money bag pushed back in front of him, Souji Okita did not think of giving up.

On the one hand, she really felt that the money was very important to the man in front of her - after all, it was during the family chat last night that she realized how powerful the man named Kondo Shusuke was.

Now, none of these may be worthy of the other party's status.

If he were to go out alone, it would probably take him at least a year or two to recover.

On the other hand, Souji Okita actually felt a little sorry for him in his heart.

The reason was simple: she really put all the blame on Ian yesterday.

Although the two sisters seemed to be used to it, Souji Okita always felt that he owed Ian.

So this money today is said to be a help between friends, but in fact it also means an apology.

Now he says no?

No!

That's absolutely not possible!

Fortunately, Souji Okita is not a fool. She quickly thought of a "strategy" that the other party could accept.

Soon, her brain started working at full capacity and she came up with her own answer.

"Since you don't accept the gift—"

“Then this isn’t a gift~”

"Ok?"

Ian didn't understand the philosophical words that Souji Okita said.

"What do you mean, Okita?"

"Hmm~ That is to say—"

Souji Okita stuffed Ian's slightly dirty wallet back into his clothes little by little, and then continued.

"I didn't give you this money for no reason!"

"You...come and be my servant!"

"what?"

Ian was stunned when he heard this, then he reached out and put his hand on Okita Souji's head.

"Satoshi, what are you doing...?" Okita Souji felt a little embarrassed when he was suddenly treated like this.

"Why put your hand over here?"

"I just wanted to know if you had a fever—"

Ian responded to her while comparing his own temperature with Souji Okita's.

"Otherwise, why would you ask me to be a 'servant'?"

"Hey! You have a fever!"

Okita Souji gently nudged his friend.

"I'm serious—and this is a great opportunity for you, isn't it?"

"A good chance?"

Ian, who withdrew his hand, became even more confused.

"What does this mean? Okita, please stop playing tricks on me. It's confusing me!"

"I'm not kidding you!"

"Think about it!" Okita Souji put his hands on his hips, "If you become my servant, do I have to pay you?"

"correct."

"Then to pay you—" Okita Souji took out the purse that he had just been trying to get to Ian, "Does that mean I don't need to use your brother's money?"

"Yes, right?" Ian was a little confused.

"Yes!"

Okita Souji spoke quickly, not giving him a chance to think.

"So, if you put everything together, doesn't it mean that you're using being my servant to offset the cost of becoming my apprentice?!"

"That's why I said this is your perfect opportunity!"

Souji Okita stuffed his wallet in again.

"Take it and help your brother save money. Wow, Suisan, you are really capable!"

"..."

Looking at the purse in his hand, Ian's eyes gradually changed.

If it was a gift from Okita Souji before, now it is something he has earned through his own hard work.

Although the result is exactly the same, the form and meaning are completely different.

"That is to say——"

“Did I earn this money myself?”

"..."

Seeing his friend's attitude finally change, Okita Souji nodded repeatedly and replied:

"Yes, that's it!"

"You're absolutely right, Saizo!"

"I understand."

Ian nodded, then put the bag of money from his good friend Okita Souji into his clothes.

Seeing him like this, Okita Souji finally breathed a sigh of relief.

It’s really not easy——

My apology turned out to be so complicated.

but……

Okita Souji looked at him in front of him.

It would be enough if I could just let him accept the money!

This is a big victory for me!
