As the strongest witch in history, I somehow ended up being feared so much that I’m all alone. So, I figured I’d buy a cute girl slave and ask her for all kinds of things
It’s already been three days since we started setting up the stall—time has flown by.
The stall was becoming busier with each passing day, raking in money at an impressive rate.
“With this, do you think… we’ve finally paid off all our debts?”
“W-well…? I haven’t finished counting today’s earnings yet, so…”
“That’s true. Then let’s recount everything and check once more…”
By now, all the children who were originally in the orphanage, along with the sisters, have gathered at the shop.
In the midst of the lively chaos at the shop, while the exhausted kids are falling asleep one by one, Tia and the sister are busy organizing the money we’ve earned so far.
“…”
I simply watch them quietly.
“…I’ve never seen this much money before.”
“I agree. Neither have I… Well, considering I’m a slave, that’s only natural.”
“Huh? You’re a slave?”
“Yes. I’m Etana’s slave… Since she’s a kind witch, she lets me live pretty freely.”
“Huh… I had no idea.”
“My master is incredible, you know? This huge amount of money we’re seeing for the first time—I’m sure she’s seen amounts like this countless times.”
“Huh!? Ohhh!”
“Look at her reaction. Right on the mark.”
“I-impressive as expected.”
“Eh… ah, wha?”
No, no, I didn’t earn this much money or anything…?
There were tons of people who offered me mountains of wealth far beyond what we currently have, asking me to serve this country…
“…!”
While I was lost in thought, I suddenly sensed something and quickly raised my gaze.
“Oh… We’ve already surpassed the amount needed to pay off our debt!”
“What!? Already? But we still have about a quarter left to count.”
“We’ve definitely exceeded it… This much is more than enough, right? Though, to be fair, it’s already more than plenty!”
“To be honest, given the size of our debt, I had no real idea how much it would take. It seems the amount wasn’t as astronomical as I imagined, though it’s certainly more than enough as you said.”
…A faint reaction.
Is it just my imagination…?
“…!?”
No, it’s not.
Something’s definitely coming!?
“…Something’s here.”
Acting on instinct, I quickly braced myself, ready for whatever might happen next.
