Chapter 70: The Fastest Way to Get Rich

“Hm?!”

Allyrose froze for two seconds, taken aback by the silver-haired youth’s words. A moment later, a spark of pleasant surprise flickered in her eyes.

‘Oh? The silver-haired youth intends to solve her financial woes? This… this could certainly work~’

‘Heh heh, who knew? Even with their contract dissolved, this fellow remained so remarkably loyal!’

‘Cough, cough, that is, when he wasn’t completely infatuated with her. In those moments, it was clearly *he* who wanted *her* to be loyal to *him*.’

‘Yet, perhaps… the very reason she could still keep this little one by her side, utilizing him, was precisely because she had captured his heart.’

This thought, Allyrose vaguely understood deep down.

But…

This feeling… of keeping the silver-haired youth tightly tethered to her with her allure and subtle tricks… it truly felt rather wonderful.

“Quite the big talker, aren’t you, little silver-haired one~”

The twin-tailed fox girl propped her chin, a soft smile playing on her lips. All traces of her morning shyness had vanished, replaced by a mischievous grin. Then, her beautiful black-stockinged feet once again gently brushed against the silver-haired youth’s calf, and she chuckled wickedly, “Tell me, where do you plan to find the money? I’m warning you now, I don’t want to hear about slow methods or any wild, fanciful ideas. Your big sister here is… impatient~”

“Uh… no problem! For you, Allyrose, this should be the fastest way to get money!”

“Oh~ The fastest way for *me* to get money, you say~ Pfft, what method is that~ Eh… wait, the fastest way to get money?”

Mid-laugh, the twin-tailed fox girl suddenly paused. A moment later, she blinked, carefully replaying Luo Jia’s words in her mind, and then gasped, inhaling sharply.

‘Hiss—’

‘No, something’s not right. What exactly is the fastest way for a girl to get money, huh?!’

‘Ugh… no, on second thought, the more I think about it, the more wrong it feels. Although Luo Jia, this little guy, sounds perfectly serious, in reality, in reality…’

‘The silver-haired youth is clearly someone who would let me keep him if I just gave him a hundred thousand dinars a month! Where would *he* get the money to fill my financial hole?!’

‘So… so…’

‘This little guy couldn’t have had his imagination sparked by what I said yesterday about nightclubs to Jason, and now he’s going to sell me into one of those places…?’

‘Hiss—’

‘Nooooo—!’

“Ugh… ugh… Th-that kind of thing won’t do~!”

Seeing Allyrose shake her head, her face flushed with embarrassment and tears welling in her eyes, the Demon Lord knew her thoughts had once again spiraled off into who-knew-where.

‘Ugh…’

‘She couldn’t possibly think I want her to ask an abstract person like Jason for money, could she…?’

‘Idiot! How could that be? How could I possibly let you go back to him?’

‘Honestly, you foolish Saintess, can’t you rely on me more? You’re nominally part of the Demon Lord’s army, after all.’

With that thought, the Demon Lord, feeling a pang of jealousy, lightly tapped Allyrose’s head. He then kicked away the girl’s beautiful black-stockinged leg before seriously beginning to explain:

“Didn’t you ask me to request money from the Demon Lord when I contacted them again? The Demon Lord has already agreed to that. They just weren’t ready at the time. If I go again, I can bring back the gold bars.”

“Eh?! No… r-really? Oh my god, that’s amazing?! Uh… b-but I haven’t even finished writing my new letter to the Demon Lord…”

Upon hearing this news, the twin-tailed fox girl’s eyes immediately lit up again, her pair of fox-ear-like hair tufts perking up happily from her head. Luo Jia couldn’t help but chuckle at her cuteness. A moment later, he nodded and explained,

“I already wrote one for you before. You’re just asking for money simply, so it doesn’t need to be as complicated as the first letter… The wise and handsome Demon Lord has always been very generous to his subordinates. How about it, isn’t the Demon Lord good? Uh… but the Demon Lord’s army doesn’t have the dinar currency you commonly use, so… they can only provide gold bars. That shouldn’t be… too much of a problem, right?”

“No problem at all, no problem! Gold bars are hard currency! Good, good, good~! That’s wonderful~! Oh, I never expected the Demon Lord’s army to have such good benefits. If I had known, I would’ve rebelled earlier instead of being some broken Saintess of the Holy See~ Hehehe…”

Allyrose happily nodded repeatedly. A moment later, she looked at Luo Jia with a smug expression.

“Little silver-haired one, I think I somewhat understand why your Demon Lord’s army hasn’t made any moves! This Demon Lord is a huge, wronged ATM. If I were in the Demon Lord’s army, I’d also slack off every day and demand a budget~! Oh, if humanity perishes, how will the Goblin Commissioners make money?! Pff pff pff pff~”

‘No… no, what?!’

After listening to the girl’s excited, cackling speech, the Demon Lord couldn’t help but take a deep breath on the spot.

‘This wretched woman… Damn it, first, get this straight, the gold bars haven’t arrived yet! Who’s your ATM?!’

‘Also, what exactly does ATM mean anyway… Ah, never mind. I won’t bother with it. It would be strange if anything good came out of Allyrose’s mouth anyway.’

‘Although… although the last two sentences of Allyrose’s words seemed to make a little sense upon closer thought, but… thinking about it carefully, cough, cough, it couldn’t be, right?’

‘Forget it, forget it, I won’t think about it. This hateful, wretched woman is disturbing my dao heart!’

‘I’ve already offered up gold, and she still doesn’t show a shred of gratitude, tsk… This fellow…’

‘What should I do? I already want to withdraw the assistance! Who’s supporting whom here, anyway?!’

‘Phew… if it weren’t for the fact that this fellow is in trouble right now…’

After a long pause, Luo Jia lightly coughed twice, finally nodding in resignation.

“Then I’ll go get the gold bars tomorrow. There should be dozens of them, enough for you to rebuild the monastery, with plenty left over…”

“Good, good, good~! Then that’s settled! Little silver-haired one, you go bring back the gold bars, and then… since rebuilding the monastery will take time anyway, I’ll use this opportunity tomorrow to investigate the collapsed pillar. I’ll see if I can find any evidence… Tsk, the cost of rebuilding is only temporarily covered for now. Once I find the evidence, I’m going to settle the score with Vivian~!”

Thinking this, the twin-tailed fox girl happily blinked. A moment later, a blush crept onto her face. She lowered her head, hesitating for a long while before finally speaking softly to Luo Jia,

“Um… also, l-little silver-haired one, thank you… For rebuilding the monastery this time, I’ll give you the main credit~”

“Hm… I… I was just acting according to your previous request. The credit belongs to the Demon Lord, cough, cough…”

The silver-haired youth was still a little tsundere. However, a moment later, the twin-tailed fox girl softly smiled. Then, she reached out, gently tugged at his sleeve, and, winking at the silver-haired youth, softly said,

“Um… there’s o-one more thing… Luo Jia, let’s… sign another contract.”
