I finally caught my breath after I got around a corner and lost sight of the old lady .
“My bad, Ringo . Honestly . ”
When I said that to Ringo, she shook her head .
“…It’s OK… . We’re fine… So…”
“U-uhuh . ”
Even if my condition is rare, it’s probably only a few people like Ringo that find such value in my split-ended hair . In the first place, it’s only this way because my hair is damaged .
However, for the time being I’ll stick it together .
“But, my hair is my hair . ”

“I know . ”
I hadn’t thought about it much, but I quickly got a reply from her .
I might be wrong, but it seems that she was just trying to help me out while i’m in this trouble .
I wasn’t sure when I first met her, but Ringo is a good girl after all . Indeed, in order to avoid putting her through some tough times, I think it’s a good idea to have some money .
Well then, let’s go get our prize .
We were distracted for a long time because of Hisame’s attacks and her event, but it’s finally time for some enjoyable things .
The time has finally come for us to get our hands on the 80 million E, the money we won by winning the Golden Wild Zlime Elimination Tournament .
(Right . When the money comes in, I’d like to give something to Ringo . )

Thinking about what to do, I grabbed Ringo and proceeded . On the way to the Bounty Hunter’s Guild in the morning, I was in a giddy mood making my way through the city . After all, I was not hearing any mention of Hisame’s Dojo from the townspeople, so I arrived at the Bounty Hunter’s Guild without incident .
“Temporary… closed… . ?”
At the entrance of the guild that we finally arrived at, this sign was there .
My confidence I had consisting of “There’s no way that this game shall bring me down!” was shaken to its core . However, I think that even if this isn’t the normal scenario, they might still give me the prize . So, I opened the door .
“Oh . ”
There was no indication that the door was locked, so it opened easily . I could hear lights and echoing chatter from several people inside . It seems people are still doing work .
I was relieved, thinking that I might be able to manage with this, so I stepped inside . Now i’m surprised .
(What the hell? I’ve got a sudden and overwhelming feeling that everything’s off!)

Compared to what I saw yesterday, the inside of the guild had clearly changed .
There were posters all over the place that weren’t previously there, such as “Simplicity and Frugality”, “One meal a day”, “No desires until victory”, “Money is important” . And for some reason the guy at the reception desk turned into an old man!
“Haa . In recent days hearing has become remarkably hard…”
He’s lamenting his deafness in that monologue like a beggar .
While I inspected the area more, I saw a small, plain girl who looked like one you might see on the streets talking to a middle-aged staff member . She had her back away from me .
“Daddy, do you work here~?
”Yeah, that’s right . It’s a very important job, it allows me to indirectly protect the city . Right now money’s a bit tough, but it’s going to be okay . Daddy will do his best for our family!
From what I can gather, it’s a heartwarming conversation about a tough life, a tough world, etc .
Moreover, The female guild member next to him is holding a baby for some reason .
“I’m sorry my poor baby, I’m having a hard time living this month . I wish I could make it easier on you if I was paid properly . ”
Yeah . That kinda stuff is being told to the child .
Next to them, a young guild member and an older guild member were talking about how important their work is to the country and the city .
“… . Really? So if this guild can’t sustain itself, it seems something terrible might happen, right?”
“Yeah . However, the government also gives them money, so they won’t go out of business just like that . However, if a guild ever hosted a tournament that a paid out a large amount of money, such as, I don’t know… 82,700,000 E? Perhaps then the guild might have to go out of business…”
The thick-headed me finally understood what’s going on after being bombarded with these scraps of info .
In other words, it’s THAT .
