A Devil's Bargain [Pt 1]

[00 Months: 17 Days: 12 Hours]

"M-money...?" I muttered.

Lucy Fer seemed to be serious when she looked at me with her gem-like eyes, but I couldn't help but be taken aback by her request.

"What do you mean? You're... broke?" I asked, my eyes fixed on her squeezed face.

"Urgh! Must I spell it out for you? I spent most of my Currency getting my new ring. I couldn't resist the urge, and the discount was also nice too!"

I could see her pout as she folded her arms while looking at me greedily.

'Haha... so she must have the <Spendthrift > Title, just like me.'

It made sense that she would, considering how much she pushed me to spend my Currency in order to buy more equipment and Skills.

"It's a good deal, if I do say so myself. Or should we just forget about it?"

"No, no. I completely understand!" I swiftly yelled, my arms flailing in the air.

"Haha! You better, sleepyhead."
