“By the way, what’s up with our family’s finances?”
I was bothered about it, so I asked Tina one day.
“Finances?”
“Yeah. I know Tina buys the ingredients and other stuff, but I haven’t given you any money for that, right? I want to know how it is now.”
“There’s no problem with this whatsoever, so Halt-sama doesn’t have to worry about it.”
That’s what Tina said, but I was still bothered where the money to feed us everyday ca from.
“Don’t tell , Tina, are you paying for the food and furniture and other living essentials out of your pocket?”
“...Well, it’s sothing like that.”
“Yeah, as I thought...Tell , Tina. I’ll do my best to earn money, too.”
I’m still a student, but I have a feeling that I can hunt monsters and sell the materials I get to help with our living expenses.
The House of Ernol has beco a huge family, after all.
Tina, Leaffa, Luna, Youko, Mai, i, rdie, Ryuka, Seira, Elmia, Kikyou, Sitri, Shiro and .
13 people and 1 beast are living together under one roof. Of course the food expenses must be nothing to scoff at.
Not only food, we also have to spend money for our daily needs.
“Please rest assured, there’s nothing to worry about the food expenses and other financial matters, really.”
“But you're paying from your own pocket, right? I’m sorry.”
I didn’t know, honestly. But now I realized, Tina actually has been supporting .
Even if she gave her permission, I have been selfishly expanding our family.
Tina had been supporting the ever increasing expenses for our growing family on her own.
I’m really guilty about a lot of things.
“Tina, I’m really sorry for not realizing it until now. I’ll also earn properly from now on.”
“...Uhm, perhaps, Halt-sama plans to work?”
“Yup. I’ve beco stronger thanks to Tina’s guidance, so I think I can raise funds by hunting monsters and selling materials.”
“Indeed, if it’s Halt-sama, then you can hunt dragons and easily make a fortune.”
Ah, no, dragons should be a taboo, no?
I recalled Hakua’s devastated appearance when I hunted a dragon.
But —
“Will you be rich if you defeat dragons?”
My interest was piqued, but just a teeny tiny bit.
“Yes. It depends on the type of dragon, but you can enjoy ten years of idle living just by defeating an attribute dragon and selling the spoils.”
“Whoa!”
That’s amazing. It’s really easy to find an attribute dragon if you search for them.
Plus, they’re monsters that could be easily defeated with Fire Lance.
I had defeated an attribute dragon in the past. It had put a town under its control and regularly demanded for sacrifices.
Now, I felt a pang of regret for not asking a bit of materials gathered from its body at that ti.
“However, I don’t recomnd defeating dragons. That’s because —”
“Hakua and Ryuka are here.”
“Yes, that’s right. Of course, I believe they won’t be opposed to defeating dragons who harm people.”
“Hm, then I’ll just hunt a lot of much weaker monsters.”
I could earn money by conjuring a few flaming knights and periodically hunting in the mountains, and it’ll beco safe because there wouldn’t be any monsters within the vicinity. Two birds, one stone.
“That’s also fine, but you don't really have to earn money in the first place. Halt-sama, please look at this.”
Tina took out a card and showed it to .
“What’s this?”
“It’s a guild card.”
“Oh, I see.”
It was a black card made of a plastic-like material with a gold pattern on the edge with so information recorded on it.
Na: Tina Harivell
Rank: S-class Adventurer
Occupation: Magic Swordsman
Deposit: 519,721,071,050 spina
Hm?
Eh...What the heck?
Sothing’s wrong with the amount at the deposit column, right?
The currency of this world is called spina.
They have seven types of coins — copper coins, large copper coins, silver coins, large silver coins, gold coins, large gold coins, and platinum coins.
1 copper coin is 1 spina.
1 large copper coin is 10 spina.
1 silver coin is 100 spina.
1 large silver coin is 1000 spina.
1 gold coin is 10,000 spina.
1 large gold coin is 100,000 spina.
And 1 platinum coin is equal to 1,000,000 spina.
Apparently, you can deposit money into your guild card in this world, much like how you use a passbook.
The currency’s form is quite heavy, so it’s hard to carry it around.
This is most especially true for A-level adventurers and above, who earn a lot of money. They will have to lug thousands of gold coins wherever they go.
That’s why most people opt to deposit their money in their guild cards.
The only drawback is that you can only withdraw your money from the sa guild system.
There are several guilds — Adventurer’s Guild, rchant’s Guild and Artisan’s Guild.
For example, mbers of the Adventurer’s Guild could withdraw their money from the other branches of Adventurer’s Guild in the other cities, but they couldn’t do that from the rchant’s Guild and the Artisan’s Guild.
Nevertheless, if it's a relatively big city, you can find all the guilds there, so it’s not really that inconvenient.
By the way, the cost of living here is relatively the sa as my previous world. Cheap lunches in restaurants cost you around 500 to 1000 spina.
So, let’s check the amount of Tina’s deposit based on this.
One, ten, hundred, thousand…. Eh, 500 billion spina?
W-what?
Tina has around 500,000 pcs of platinum coins.
“Er.... Tina-san, this is?”
“My guild card.”
Yeah, I already asked it before.
“I haven’t dropped by the guild recently, so my na hasn’t been updated yet. I have to change it to Tina Ernol soon.”
Ah, yeah.
— N, no, that’s not it!!
“Actually, I’m an S-ranked adventurer.”
“Yup, that’s also amazing!!”
I thought the highest rank an adventurer could achieve is A-rank.
That’s because they can’t use S-rank unless they have a third tier occupation.
And as far as I know, the those with third tier occupations are —
Sage Luarno, the headmaster of the magic academy.
Sage Leo, the king of Vestier, the kingdom of the beastkin.
My brother Cain, a Holy Knight.
, a Sage.
And Tina, a Magic Swordsman.
Only 5 people.
Cain had a tertiary occupation just recently, it seed. I was surprised when I heard the news.
By the way, my second older brother Leon has also beco a Guardian Warrior Apprentice, which is an apprentice level for a tertiary occupation.
My family is pretty strange, too.
Wait, is the Silveray family’s lineage the kind that can produce monsters one after the other?
Well, that doesn’t really matter right now.
The tertiary occupation is considered to be the supre fighting power, so I didn’t think they would be employed in such an unstable job as an adventurer.
That’s why I was shocked to learn that Tina is a S-ranked adventurer, but —
There’s sothing more amazing than that!!!
“Tina, this deposit amount...how co?”
“It’s the money that I saved up for a hundred years so that Haruto-sama could live comfortably when he returned to this world!!”
