DIAW: The Girlfriend System in the World
Chapter 72 - The Hard Choice

"Hmmm ... So it's just about the money, isn't it?" I took something from [Storage] and threw a big bag of copper into Fran's face.

"Huh?"

"What are you doing?" While Sistine and Fran were confused, I quickly grabbed Sistine's wrist.

"You see, this girl is now in my debt bondage! He spied money on me to pay his debt to you!" Yeah, maybe it's the same, and Sistine still has debt right now ... But, the difference, of course, is the person he borrowed the money from.

I then said something to the system that immediately responded to me by letting out a yellow light over Sistine's head.

"Contract succeeded ... This girl will now be your slave and will be free after she returns twenty thousand of your servants." Oh, really? Actually I wasn't expecting this. Enslave Sistine forcibly and unilaterally as well, then ... How is it different for me to Fran like this?

When I told that to Sistine, she cried unnaturally ... Eh?

"No ... I .. I'm so happy ..." Ha! Ha ... Of course, what he meant by being happy was probably being able to be free from this situation. "The reason I'm happy is ... You can get into debt with you."

I don't know if it's good or bad, but what I'm seeing right now, Sistine is like trusting me. Not knowing what was on his mind, it was as if he liked the idea of a contract with me. Put that aside.

"Huh ... We're leaving now!" Fran and some of his followers immediately left us after seeing all that. She must have been upset by this, but I also didn't feel sorry for doing so.

***

"Ehmmm ... That's how it happened." At least, now I have control over everything that Sistine does next. It's only natural considering I've made a contract with him.

"And what are you going to do after spending twenty thousand of your interviews just for a girl?" I don't know, maybe I'll round it up to fifty grand again. Yes, I'm sure in a few more weeks ...

"I'm sorry, Mr. Richard ..." I turned my head to the side and found Sistine's face lowered. Indeed, he still felt guilty because of the incident. But take it easy, the one who decided to help him was of my own accord, so I can say he is not entirely at fault.

"Of course, no!" Ha-ha! You must be kidding, right? How could there be a girl like her who had deliberately proposed that ridiculous idea to me? I meani. "Do you know how contracts work?"

"Hmmm? Isn't that obvious? You make someone obey your wishes, and you're free to do anything with them, right?" Ah, I think he can understand some ... But stop it, buddy! I kind of found a change in expression in Sistine. God, I hope this conversation doesn't make him misunderstand.

"Nmh ... No problem ... I-I'll try ..." Yea? Trying for what? And when I thought that, Aisha in that moment slapped me with some mission paper.

"It was a mission in the forest, there were a lot of residents who saw a flock of orcs were preparing to do something ..." Did they attack the village? Ah, that's impossible isn't it? This monster doesn't have its mother's intelligence, but I can't ignore this. "You're right, by the way, about your potion material supplier, I've found one of those people."

"Hmmm ..." Eh? Isn't he! "Auto?!"

***

"So so ..." Ah, everything is simple now.

The Union seemed to be working with the merchant to fulfill the demand for such materials, and he was the intermediary between me and Otto. It was similar to, the person who bought the merchant's item and resold it to me at a higher price in order to make a profit.

"That's absolutely right, Chairman Elina did allow this but instead she wanted to supervise you."

Wait, if I can cooperate with Otto directly without making the adventurer guild involved ... I think it's possible! Really, you don't expect someone to always be watching your activities?

"Ah, don't misunderstand ... The chairman just wants to see the potential of your little factory." (Misha)

"Wait, what?" When I think about it again, it's no wonder Elina bothered to find me a provider of these ingredients just for the sake of one thing that I think makes sense. "I know this, don't tell me you want me to supply our potions for the union."

"That was indeed one of the plans." I can guess it. And, of course, that will be our next problem. "But take it easy, we will always try to give you ease. Then, in the end, the Chairman did this just to help you level up."
