c5 (2/2)

“That’s quite a lot of money you know …”

A typical family of four living in the capital city Rosario would normally need around one gold a year.

Which means that Casca was asking him to lend two years’ worth of the family’s food expenses.

“Come on, pleease. I promised the moneylenders they can do what they like with my body if I didn’t return it by today. I’m pretty well guarded even though I’m like this, you know? I don’t wanna sleep with men for cash”

“A woman who’s guarded won’t make that kind of promise to begin with”

“Come on s.h.i.+zu, don’t be so cold. See, you lend me some cash and theeen we can do something nice when that doggy isn’t here”

Casca said something unthinkable for someone who had her guard up right after saying she was one as she pressed her b.r.e.a.s.t.s against s.h.i.+zuru.

She was muscular all over but that part alone was soft like it was another creature.

“… Haah. Fine, I’ll lend you”

In the end, s.h.i.+zuru sighed and agreed.

Because Casca was insistent, she won’t take no for an answer.

She would follow him around until he agreed, this much s.h.i.+zuru knew.

Also, the fact that the two gold he’s lending won’t come back.

He lent her once before, it was s.h.i.+zuru’s bad luck.

She had already pegged him as a lender that won’t mind her not paying him back.

“On one condition, I’ll go and pay them myself”

“Eh … y, you don’t need to. I can go by myself, just lend me the money”

“You said that before and you used the money you borrowed to buy booze right away didn’t you? Sorry, but I can’t trust you Casca”

“… tch”

She lightly clicked her tongue. Looks like I hit bull’s eye.

In actuality, whatever Casca promised about her body or whatever to the money lenders don’t matter at all.

If push came to shove, she would silence them with a fist, no matter who they were.

And then the beat up moneylenders would for some reason come crying to s.h.i.+zuru’s clinic.

“But how am I going to get my booze today? None of my favorite places will let me open a tab!?”

“And what about the swearing off alcohol thing? The reason n.o.body will let you open a tab is because you keep on jumping them. You’re just paying for your own mistakes”

Incidentally, the owners of the places where she jumped the bill also came crying to s.h.i.+zuru’s clinic.

It’s already a clinic and a consultancy for anything Casca-related.

“The world is cruel … come on, lend me the payment money plus some extra, s.h.i.+zu. I’ll let you have fun tonight”

“— Stop fooling around. Hands off my beloved, Casca”

The one who replied the violent Casca’s rare flirtations was not s.h.i.+zuru.

The two of them turned around to look at the source of the sound just outside the door.

There was Lady who was still making herself look like Richelieu, coming back home from shopping.

“Welcome home Lady”

“I’m home my dear. — hey, trash who can’t do anything but waste money and swing her fist. Stop making pa.s.ses at my beloved, it’s creepy, go f.u.c.k a monkey or something”

“Whatcha say you d.a.m.n b.i.t.c.h!? You got the nerve to talk like that to people, watch your place, pet!”

Casca let s.h.i.+zuru go and pressed close to Lady, glaring slightly down at her.

And the fist fight finally began. Though Lady was transforming into a human, she was still a high cla.s.s magic wolf that took a subjugation group with members in the order of hundreds to take down. Being able to fight that barehanded on even terms, Casca was a superhuman.

s.h.i.+zuru, at least, would never want to fight Lady even if he had a gun.

“You s.h.i.+tty b.i.t.c.h! s.h.i.+zu’s already slept with me and the boss long ago anyway you dumba.s.s!”

“Grrrrr! I know that, but I’m his wife now!!”

“I’m telling you already, you’re the pet! You’re making a big mistake if ya think I’m going to hesitate to hit you just because you’re looking like the boss! I’m actually going to enjoy this, imma pound you with all I got!”

Things had gotten so heated up s.h.i.+zuru was no longer able to stop them.

But well, this kind of scene was almost a daily event already, s.h.i.+zuru didn’t even get fl.u.s.tered anymore.

s.h.i.+zuru went to leave the room, creeping along the walls so that he didn’t get caught in it, he picked up the groceries left by the door and checked its contents.

Looks like the eggs and potatoes were cheap today, she mainly stocked up on those two.

“I wonder if I should make galettes …”

While considering the breakfast menu, s.h.i.+zuru left the chaos behind him and headed for the kitchen.

Today, another typical day had begun.
