Chapter 51: 050 I will remember this favor.
Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
After that, Riley dragged a displeased Vivian upstairs.
I imagine they had a lot to talk about, right?
The guild members seemed to breathe a sigh of relief once Riley left, returning to their noisy state.
Meanwhile, Tielle, Lu Muya, and Merica stayed behind and approached Shane, who was still watching the direction Riley and Vivian had left.
“Let’s go.”
...
Tielle spoke calmly and, with Lu Muya and Merica, walked out of the guild.
Shane withdrew his gaze and, staying near Tielle and the others, left the guild hall.
Once they left the guild and came outside, Shane was called by someone.
“Um...”
Lu Muya cautiously approached Shane for conversation.
“Hmm?”
Shane looked at Lu Muya.
Being stared at by Shane, Lu Muya immediately shrank her neck, seemingly reluctant to speak to Shane.
But in the end, Lu Muya gathered her courage.
“Th-this is for you!”
Lu Muya held a small bag in her hands, closing her eyes as she offered it to Shane.
Her timid and shy demeanor almost made Shane think this cute Beastman girl was offering him a love letter, confessing to him.
Unfortunately, what Lu Muya handed to Shane was not a love letter but a pouch of money.
“What is this?”
Shane was puzzled.
“Th-that...”
Lu Muya stammered, unable to form a complete sentence, making people anxious.
Seeing this, Merica hesitated for a moment before speaking up for her.
“That was secretly given to us by President Riley just now,” Merica said softly. “I think this is likely intended for you.”
Merica reminded.
Indeed.
Distribution of rewards does not necessarily have to happen publicly.
Vivian could have taken the reward with her team and left, distributing it in private. This way, no one would know how much Shane received, and no one could criticize.
In other words...
“The president was not trying to prevent me from receiving too much reward and avoid disparagement. She came to see whether I needed assistance, but she happened to observe Vivian distributing the rewards publicly, felt it was inappropriate, and thus intervened?”
Shane understood.
“It seems to be the case,” Tielle nodded and said, “From your actions and Vivian’s stance, the president determined you could be helped, so she secretly passed the funds to Lu Muya, who brought them to you.”
“Y-yes!” Lu Muya said nervously. “P-please accept it!”
Saying this, Lu Muya lowered her head, offering the pouch to Shane again in a manner akin to handing over a love letter, her face flushed with embarrassment.
Shane smiled slightly and finally accepted the pouch, opening it to glance at the contents.
What he saw startled Shane.
“So much?”
The pouch was filled with gleaming coins, at least a hundred pieces.
“It should include the amount taken from you earlier.”
Tielle provided Shane with an explanation.
“That’s too much.”
Shane frowned.
A hundred gold coins, equivalent to a million copper coins, was akin to several million in the previous world.
“Even if it’s aid money, giving so much to a newcomer, is it really okay?”
Moreover, Shane had already decided not to take an excessive reward. If the pouch included the part just taken from him, Shane did not wish to accept it.
In response, Tielle offered only one sentence.
“Consider it as the president’s expectation for you; repay her in the future.”
This statement left Shane silent.
“All right.” Shane remained silent for a moment before finally saying, “I’ll remember this favor.”
Riley Lazahad.
Indeed, a fascinating woman.
