Ernol Houses Financial Circumstances
By the way, whats up with our familys 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 havent given you any money for that, right? I want to know how is it now.
Theres no problem with this whatsoever, so Halt-sama doesnt have to worry about it.
Thats what Tina said, but I was still bothered where the money to feed us everyday came from.
Dont tell me, Tina, are you paying for the food and furnitures and other living essentials out of your pocket?
Well, its something like that.
Yeah, as I thoughtTell me, Tina. Ill do my best to earn money, too.Im 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 become a huge family, after all.
Tina, Leaffa, Luna, Youko, Mai, Mei, Merdie, Ryuka, Seira, Elmia, Kikyou, Sitri, Shiro and me.
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 assure, theres nothing to worry about the food expenses and other financial matters, really.
But youre paying from your own pocket, right? Im sorry.
I didnt know, honestly.
But, now, I realized.
Tina actually been supporting me
Even if she gave her permission, I have been selfishly expanding our family.
Tina had been supporting the ever increasing expenses for the growing family on her own.
Im really guilty about a lot of things.
Tina, Im really sorry for not realizing it until now. Ill also earn properly from now on.
Ahm, perhaps, Halt-sama plans to work?
Yup. Ive become stronger thanks to Tinas guidanc, so I think I can raise funds by hunting monsters and selling materials.
Indeed, if its Halt-sama, then you can hunt dragons and easily make a fortune.
Ah, no, dragons should be a taboo, no?
I recalled Hakuas devastated appearance when I hunted a dragon.
But
Will you be rich if you defeat dragons?
My interest was piqued, just a teeny tiny bit.
Yes. It also 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!
Thats amazing.
Its really easy to find attribute dragons if you search for them.
Plus, theyre 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 time.
However, I dont recommend defeating dragons. Thats because
Hakua and Ryuka are here.
Yes, thats right. Of course, I believe they wont be opposed to defeating dragons who harm people.
Hm, then Ill just hunt a lot of much weaker monsters.
I could earn money buy conjuring a few flaming knights and periodically hunting in the mountain, and itll become safe because there wouldnt be any monsters within the vicinity. Two birds, one stone.
Thats also fine, but you dont really have to earn money in the first place. Halt-sama, please look at this.
Tina took out a card and show it to me.
Whats this?
Its 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 some information recorded on it.
Name: Tina Harivell
Rank: S-class Adventurer
Occupation: Magic Swordsman
Deposit: 519,721,071,050 spina
Hm?
EhWhats the heck?
Somethings 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 currencys form is quite heavy, so its hard to carry it around.
This is most especially true for A-level adventurers and above, who earns a lot of money. They will have to lug thousands of gold coins wherever they go.
Thats 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 same guild system.
There are several guilds Adventurers Guild, Merchants Guild and Artisans Guild.
For example, members of the Adventurers Guild could withdraw their money from the other branches of Adventurers Guild in the other cities, but they couldnt do that from the Merchants Guild and the Artisans Guild.
Nevertheless, if its a relatively big city, you can find all the guilds there, so its not really that inconvenient.
By the way, the cost of living here is relatively the same as my previous world. Cheap lunches in restaurants cost you around 500 to 1000 spina.
So, lets check the amount of Tinas 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 havent dropped by the guild recently, so my name hasnt been updated yet. I have to change it to Tina Ernol soon.
A, yeah, yup.
Yeah.
N, no, thats not it!!
Actually, Im an S-ranked adventurer.
Yup, thats also amazing!!
I thought the highest rank an adventurer could achieve is A-rank.
Thats because they cant 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
Me, a Sage
And Tina, a Magic Swordsman.
5 people only.
Cain had a tertiary occupation just recently, it seemed.
I was surprised when I heard the news.
By the way, my second older brother Leon has also become a Guardian Warrior Apprentice, which is an apprentice level for a tertiary occupation.
My family is pretty strange, too.
Wait, is the Silveray familys lineage the kind that can produce Bakemono one after the other?
Well, that doesnt really matter right now.
The tertiary occupation is considered to be the supreme fighting power, so I didnt think they would be employed in such an unstable job as an adventurer.
Thats why I was shocked to learn that Tina is a S-ranked adventurer, but
Theres something more amazing than that!!!
Tina, this deposit amounthow come?
Its the money that I saved up for a hundred years so that Haruto-sama could live comfortably when he returned to this world!!
T/N: Hundred years worth of savings used to support her husbands harem uwuwu, just how virtuous can you be, Tina?!
Sorry for the late chapter. Will tl another chap within the day, thank you! ?
