40 Vol.2 Chapter40 - Prologue3/3: Debt To Pay

)--{] West Village [}--(

I'm sitting at the table relaxing. Three days have passed since I went to Citrine with Haruto-kun.

I was able to buy tools and all kinds of stuff for farming, I also bought food we can preserve while we're waiting for the plants to grow up, and it was all because of Haruto-kun that we were able to be saved.

[ umm... Dad, I want to go see this Haruto-kun that you said was the guy who saved my life and the guy who also gave us, the village money instead of keeping it all himself. ] one of my daughters; Carla asked me as she went inside our living room.

[ well, Haruto-kun said that he will come back some time too. Maybe you could wait for him then, it might be dangerous going to the city without knowing his location. ]

[ I can ask the Guild. ]

[ Ohh... right... ]

am I really getting old to forget that Haruto-kun was an adventurer...? or maybe I just don't recognize Haruto-kun as such... well, he's an unusual adventurer...

[ well, you're not fully recovered yet. Maybe wait till your condition is better. You know, Haruto-kun also asked me to buy you medicine, he said he wants you to recover immediately. ]

Haruto-kun was really concern about my daughter that I'm thinking that he has a crush on her.

[ Is-is that so...? ]

[ yes, so rest first. ]

[ do... do you think that guy has a hidden motive dad? ]

[ not at all. He's an idiot, but he's a good guy. you know he saved this village from potential famine, right? ]

that guy was the purest and nicest guy I have ever met. I'm sure he doesn't have any hidden motives, in fact, we gained so much from him that I'm now feeling a little guilty.

He's like the hero of our village.

[ do you think I can work with him as an Adventurer? ]

...

[ wha-what!? ]

[ da-dad!? ]

[ that's a brilliant Idea! ]

That's the brightest I ever heard in my lifetime.

[ idea...? ]

[ make him fall for you! ]

[ wha-what, dad! you know I'm not attractive! ]

[ no no, you're not! that guy; Haruto-kun is still innocent, he's just pretending he's not! ]

[ we-well, even if it can work out, that's not what I want to do. I only want to pay him for not just saving me, but also the village... ]

[ yes! you can pay him with your body! ]

[ what the hell are you saying, dad! are you really my dad!? ]

I lost my control for a moment there... but really, if I can make that guy marry one of my daughters I'm sure our village can keep him up for ourselves.

[ no no, I'm just saying that it could work out. ]

[ haah... I won't try... but only if it happens... ]

[ just believe in yourself. ]

My daughter is beautiful... even if she got some muscles... I'm sure she can make Haruto-kun fall for her.

[ what happened to you dad...? ]
