After receiving the examine.

Ian, together with Silvia, headed straight to the financial institution.

[Charles Bancorp Lichten Branch]

“Buyer Ian! Welcome!”

An enthusiastic worker rushed over to greet him warmly.

It was the identical feminine worker who at all times welcomed him every time he got here.

“Please come over right here and have a seat. Oh, is that this your girlfriend? She’s so lovely. Right here, have a cup of tea.”

Her steerage, from the doorway to the client reception desk, contrasted sharply with the unfriendliness of inventory change workers.

Silvia was additionally smiling, trying fairly happy.

“No hassle with repaying the curiosity, proper?”

Though the inquiry appeared to hold a will and greed for collections and efficiency if unable to repay, Ian selected to interpret it positively.

‘…Properly, no less than they’re pleasant.’

Ian determined to view issues in a superb mild.

The worker, who had been alternating between smiling at Ian and Silvia, whispered cautiously to Ian.

“Um, Ian… I’m sorry, however further loans is perhaps troublesome.”

“Pardon?”

“Though the Princess ensures it, even simply the curiosity being charged to you exceeds the typical quantity {that a} commoner can earn. I’m sorry…”

Maybe the worker mistook Ian for searching for one other mortgage.

Come to consider it, hadn’t he been growing his loans each time?

Because the month-to-month curiosity began surpassing what a mean middle-class wage might cowl, it appeared even the financial institution realized it couldn’t proceed.

… However why whisper it?

“We wouldn’t wish to embarrass you in entrance of your girlfriend…”

The worker wore a face crammed with apologies.

In actuality, when you dissected the worker’s phrases, they meant, ‘We are able to’t lend you any extra money. Show that you’ve got the flexibility to repay.’

Nonetheless, Ian discovered the cautious method unusually nice, making the listener really feel higher. The worker was fairly adept at dealing with interactions.

‘I ought to proceed utilizing their companies typically.’

Ian smiled frivolously on the embarrassed worker.

“No, I’m not right here for a mortgage at the moment.”

“… Sure?”

“I’m right here to repay the mortgage.”

“Re-repay?”

The worker’s eyes widened.

“How a lot?”

“Your complete quantity.”

“…All of it?!”

– Bam!

The worker stood up abruptly, making a loud noise, then shortly apologized to these round.

She continued to stare at Ian in disbelief.

“All… all that mortgage quantity? H-how?”

She was past shocked.

Ian silently handed over a clean examine with the quantity from promoting EcoMana inventory.

“… Actually?”

Tears welled up within the worker’s eyes as she seemed on the examine.

“Please convert the remaining quantity into money after repaying the mortgage.”

“R-remaining?… What?!”

She checked the quantity and froze.

Ian was equally astonished by the overly flustered response of the worker.

“…”

Was this actually such a shocking occasion?

Whereas not a small sum, banks routinely deal with a lot bigger quantities.

— Swish

A tear trickled down the worker’s cheek.

No! Why is that this occurring!

Her mouth hung open.

“It was Ian who was paying curiosity with some huge cash…”

“……”

“I used to be actually cheering on the within. I couldn’t ask, however I believed there have to be a narrative behind it.”

Ah. In order that’s what it was.

He felt considerably sorry for her.

“…”

Ian remained silent.

There was no means he was going to say Pongpong was beginning to act like a simp.

Sigh. Sigh.

The worker, wiping tears together with her sleeve, requested hesitantly.

“I-I’m actually sorry, however… can I ask the place your funds come from? Not from medication, playing, fraud, or unlawful buying and selling, proper?”

Ian pointed silently on the examine issuer.

“Oh proper, the issuer… it was the Securities Affiliation.”

Afterward.

Principal and curiosity compensation, doc processing, and so forth., all proceeded swiftly.

“The remaining steadiness is 55 gold cash and 17 silver cash.”

“Why do you exit of your means to assist me a lot? From our first assembly, you’ve been serving to me, giving me info, offering potions, saving me… What am I to you?”

Properly…

She informed herself…

“Silvia Laurent herself.”

“…Huh?”

A woman who, regardless of her aloof exterior, is aware of the way to respect when one thing is given to her.

A woman who at all times strives to repay what she receives.

A woman with a vessel not missing in expertise, possessing religion and belief.

Silvia Laurent is such a presence.

That’s why.

“Somebody with many issues they wish to do collectively. That’s you, to me, Silvia.”

Silvia’s violet eyes shimmered barely.

Pook.

Silvia instantly lowered her head and muttered.

“I perceive.”

“?”

“Properly, I suppose it didn’t imply what I believed it meant.”

“What does that imply?”

“… It’s a secret.”

Ahem! Silvia cleared her throat and raised her head once more.

Her face was fairly purple, maybe from the push of blood.

However her voice was crammed with willpower.

“Ought to I contemplate this a enterprise proposal? You wish to be with Laurent?”

“Sure.”

Ian prolonged his hand to her.

Silvia reached out and held his hand.

“Please care for me, Ian.”

With a smile brighter than ever.

◆

Again at his lodgings, Ian laid down on the mattress after a very long time.

“Ah, I missed this. Oh, mattress.”

It wasn’t notably cozy like a finances lodging, however there was a consolation that got here from familiarity.

As he lay buried for some time, his thoughts naturally started to churn.

“Now there are solely two left.”

Having accomplished the second chapter of the situation, the remaining heroines had been Aria and Emilia.

“The situation continues to intertwine.”

No, let’s be exact.

The principle storyline progresses for the heroines.

In spite of everything, Fanta X Aca is a recreation about accumulating and nurturing heroines.

Simply because the episode of “Grand Duke of the North” was crafted round Sharon Pierce’s exercise, there are episodes for Aria and Emilia.

Because of this it is going to inevitably grow to be entangled with spiritual denominations and spiritual organizations.

“Aria Lumines Bell is of course related to the church.”

Aria is a candidate for sainthood from the Church of Deus, generally referred to easily because the ‘Church’.

Deus Church.

It’s the state faith of most international locations on the continent, together with the Empire, and due to this fact wields appreciable affect.

Contemplating Aria’s title as a saintess candidate, her affect extends not solely to the Deus Church’s Lichten department but additionally to the Pope.

The Pope of the Deus Church shouldn’t be solely the chief of the faith but additionally the chief of the Holy Kingdom of Constantine, a rustic positioned within the southern a part of the continent.

“It gained’t be simple.”

That doesn’t imply Emilia Raymond’s facet is any simpler.

Raymond is a outstanding faction within the Empire.

Their affect, which has taken root not solely within the Empire however throughout all the continent, can by no means be stated to be weaker than that of the Church.

“Hah, it’s like climbing a mountain after one other.”

In the end, since they’ve grow to be heroines, the situation’s issue is predicted to extend a number of occasions.

After all, it’s not inconceivable to navigate with out them.

In spite of everything, even Sharon Pierce, whom he as soon as thought was fully stoic, was ultimately utilized not directly.

For now, let’s observe the state of affairs a bit longer.

Aria Lumines Bell is reportedly not in good situation, and Emilia appears to be actively transferring inside her faction.

There’s a necessity to collect extra details about them earlier than the following essential situation begins.

“Phew!”

Ian stretched and set free pointless worries.

It’s daunting that the board has abruptly expanded.

However because the board expands, there are additionally many issues to make the most of.

The explanation Ian left 10 gold after urgently funding Silvia was additionally for this.

The essence of this recreation is initially a “pay-to-win-style cute lady gacha recreation”.

“Talent is essential, however cash is equally essential on this recreation.”

Because the belongings develop, the extent of alternatives one can entry—info, gear, hidden items, and so forth.—adjustments.

“Shall I spend some cash correctly for a change?”

Smirk.

Ian’s lips curled up on the thought.
