Kono Sekai ga Game da to, Ore dake ga Shitte Iru Vol 3 Chapter 1.4

Come to think of it, the mental attack is a pretty good move .

Presumably, due to the game system, it’s impossible for these officials to refuse to pay the bounty . In the game, there was never a case where the prize money was not paid out .

It’s the same as when Train-chan tried to wear more than three rings . I suspect that due to some kind of mental limitation, if a face-to-face request for a bounty was made, they would not be able to refuse the request .

Assuming that these guild members have this type of thought pattern hard-coded into them, what actions can they do?

If that’s what’s happening, then they just don’t need to hear us asking for it . After all, it’s not uncommon for a player to forget to receive a reward in a game .

It’s kinda not normal, but if we decide to say, “We don’t want a reward”, I think there’s the freedom for them to accept that .

(Be that as it may, I wonder what I’ll do . )

Of course, I didn’t expect this kind of situation .

If this is simply because they don’t want to pay a lot of money, we can force our way through, but it seems that they are actually pushing the limits of their ability to pay .

If you can pay for it in the game, it should be possible to do it here, but there was no report of a large number of high-priced monsters like the Golden Zlime when I played the game last time . Possibly, this could be a glitch where the player recieves an absurdly high amount of coins, similar to having 255 lives or 999,999,999 gold .

Our reward was 8,270,000, so when it gets multiplied x10 due to the first place bonus, it becomes 82,700,000 E . That’s pretty close to 100 million E .

It wouldn’t be good to forcefully demand the money and have the guild go out of business because of it . They might begin to have a grudge against us .

On the other hand, it would be out of the question to give up such a large sum of money of 80 million… . .

I’m getting lost in thought .

“……give me the money . ”

Maybe because she got tired of waiting, or maybe because she saw that I was in trouble…

Before I knew it, Ringo had stepped forward and said it .

(Oh, amazing, Ringo!)

Being unable to read the air . In this case, that’s great!

The atmosphere in the guild froze at those words, and the old man at the counter said:

“Ah, you know, these days, I can’t hear that well…”

…Is what is being said, but I can see a lot of sweat on his forehead that seemingly won’t go away .

And in response, Ringo’s next action was also brilliant . It wasn’t an excuse, it wasn’t outrage, it wasn’t an insult, it was these words:

Remove Ads?

“…You’re going to… break… the promise…?”

She asked while tilting her head in contemplation .

This is intense .

Just as the other side used the little girl and the baby, innocent words are sometimes a mental attack that trumps everything . An awful air spread throughout the guild, and sweat started to flow from the old man’s forehead like a waterfall .

It seemed to me that it was only a matter of time before the guild side gave up .

My expectations weren’t off the mark, but the first person to make a move behind the counter was someone I hadn’t expected .

“I’d like to hear about it, Mr . Guild Manager . Why don’t you give him some money?”

The girl who said this tapped the deaf old man at the reception desk on the shoulder . She was the girl who had come to ask her dad about the work .

I was also surprised that the old man at the counter was the head of the guild, but it was nothing compared to my surprise when I looked at the girl again and realized her true identity,

(That girl, Isn’t that Poison-tan!!!!???)

I hadn’t noticed it earlier because it I only saw the back of her head . However, upon closer inspection, she is none other than Poison-tan, one of the most evil characters in this royal city .

Her real name is unknown, her age is unknown, and her fighting prowess is unfathomable . But why is she in this place when her normal routine consists of her walking around the city? Are you sure that the middle-aged employee you see over there is your father and you’re here to see him?

–Is what I wondered, but her next words gave me the answer .

It’s weird . I’ve been told to help you guys since you’re all having a hard time, but why? What’s the point?

When I heard that, I nodded my head in understanding .

Although her presence and personality is like no other, outwardly she looks like an ordinary city kid .

Probably, she was scouted out as an extra while she was walking around in the city . She was brought here at this appropriate time .

(Oh, how unfortunate…)

Now that I knew the circumstances, I felt deeply sorry .

Of course, I was not sorry for Poison-tan .

I was sorry for everyone in the Bounty Hunters Guild, who just so happened to have discovered the absolute worst person to work with in the world .

“But, but… If we hand out the prize here, the guild’s management from tomorrow will… . . ”

The old man, who claimed he was the head of the guild, responded in a way oblivious to this predicament .

Remove Ads?

(Uh-oh, he talked back to her . )

After seeing this situation, I unintentionally looked up to the heavens .

What he did was probably the worst possible choice of response to this situation .

“Heeeeh? Is that so—~”

And the proof of this? Well, look . As if she was a hunter who had found just found her prey, Poison-tan’s mouth turned upwards into a smile .

What kind of abusive language will she spit out of her mouth? I can’t even begin to guess with my mind .

The only thing that was definitively clear was that the guild master no longer had any choice but to pay the prize bounty .

“Sorry for the wait . Here is the prize money, 82,700,000 E .

Ten minutes later . The guildmaster, whose heart had been demolished by Poison Tan and was now gasping for air, sent me the prize money as I held out my crystal .

“Thank you very much . ”

I said so, and while waiting to recieve my crystal, I observed the guildmaster once more .

There was no longer any light in his eyes . He appeared to have aged a lot from this incident . There, instead of the brilliance of reason, emanated a great emptiness .

Again, I wonder if it’s the stress . The hair on the top of the guild leader’s head, which was already thin, somehow seemed to have lost its presence even more .

“Um, I’d like to ask you about something…”

So, instead of ending the conversation at just that, I called out to him again .

His eyes, with no light in them, stare at me blankly .

“Now that I’ve suddenly got a ton of cash, I’m troubled about the way I should use it . So I’m wondering if you could teach me a way to use it well . ”

Even after saying this much, the guildmaster gave me no reaction . He’s not that bright .

“For example… I could hand out loans with it, If I know that people will eventually pay it back…”

However, after I uttered the decisive words smugly, I recieved a dramatic reaction .

Light returned to the eyes of the guildmaster, who was previously dried up completely .

”Th-That, perhaps, if…”

Remove Ads?

“Yeah . I thought I’d lend a little bit of money to this guild . ”

As soon as I said that, not only the guild leader but the entire guild started shouting out “Uwooooooahhhh!”

“B-By all means, please do that… . . ”

I responded to the guild leader, who looked like he was going to grab me at any moment, with a smiling face .

”Well well, please calm down . For now, how about I lend half of the prize money, 40 million?” Don’t worry, the interest will be just toichi .

The guild leader fell to the ground .

“Hah . T’was merely a joke, but…”

Toichi is a type of compound interest rate where the debt increases by “10% every 10 days” . It’s said to be used in black-market lending .

It is illegal in Japan because even though 10% doesn’t sound like a big deal, if you leave it unattended, the debt will become double or more after three months thanks to mathematical magic

In this case, assuming the principal is 40 million, the first interest is 4 million E . If you don’t pay back 4,000 times every 10 days as accommodation expenses(???), your debt will increase rapidly, so you can literally say it’s a huge profit .

Of course, I have no intention of doing such a vain business . In fact, I have no intention of making a profit by lending money, so it was a small joke to pacify the nervous guild leader . Rather, it’s a bit of a shock that he took it as the truth .

After that, I had a discussion with the revived guild leader and Poison-tan, and we both agreed to lend about half of the prize money, 40 million E, to the Bounty Hunters Guild for the time being . It seems that if they do some fundraising or manage stuff in some other way, there’s a possibility that they’ll pay us the rest of the money within nine days .

However, since it’s not a reward from the guild but a personal debt, the game system’s rules are not there so there’s no guarantee that I’ll get it . That means there’s the danger that these guys might shirk their payment .

Normally I should be worried, but since Poison-tan came in between us, I’m not too concerned . As long as Poison-tan sees it strongly under her own eyes, if the guild does something bad, then next time I don’t think the guildmaster’s hair will continue to live .

Well, worst cast scenario, I’m fine with not getting the other half back .

If I equally split the 42,700,000 E in my hand with Ringo, I would have a little over 20,000,000 E in my hand . With that much, I would be able to do pretty much everything I want to do .

Of course, the more money you have, the better, but since I’ve made so much money, let’s be a little bit generous . For now, let’s just forget about the hassle and just be happy that we got lots of money .

I gave the hesitant Ringo 20 million, almost half of what I have, with the reason that “it’s a measure against robberies” . Without delay I then made a plan to go shopping .

First of all……… .

“I’d like to go to the item shop next, is that okay?”

‘…ok . ”

At Ringo’s reply, I gave a triumphant pose to myself and headed to the item shop .

Welco…………………… . . Ah!　You’re that panties person!

“All of a sudden my reputation has gone downhill!”

When I entered the store, I was greeted by the familiar shop employee who was referring to me in that way .

“Oh, no, don’t tell me that you’ve come here for my panties again!?”

“…Huh?”

“I-I was out of my mind at that time! I-I’m not some kind of cheap woman, For christ’s sake……”

“Wait, wait, wait . I’m only here just to do some shopping . ”

I hurriedly interrupted . I don’t know how her image of me has been twisted, but apparently now I’ve become a pervert who’s got a kink for underwear

In the first place, it was her who had said stuff about her underwear, and I’m sure I hadn’t mentioned even a single word about it, so this is really uncomfortable .

‘……Then, what are your needs this time?

The shopkeeper asked, using unnatural honorifics, while holding the front of her skirt in a cautious manner . She doesn’t trust me at all .

There are many things I would like to say about her attitude, but I’ll leave it for now .

“Yeah . Well… . ”

The only reason I came to this item shop is to give a gift to Ringo… But that’s only half the story .

I’ve always thought this previously…

How often do you gp into the depths of a dungeon and regret that you should have bought healing items, poison antidotes, an escape rope for a hole, or an icy sword?

However, most of the time it’s too late . When you regret it, those items are no longer within your grasp .

So, while I sometimes wish I had skills and tools to shop at any given time, there are few games have those conveniences . Unfortunately, no such skills or items existed for Nekomimineko either .

But now I think,

There’s actually a very simple way to do something similar, if not the same, as that .

In other words——–

“I’LL TAKE YOUR ENTIRE STOCK!!”

From this instant we started shopping, leaving all our worries behind us .
