Chapter 1 (2/2)

Because offor a way to survive in this seely hopeless situation

Shortly after, there was no need for me to do so

That was because my house had fallen before I even met the main character

Ever since , eniuses; they were both straightforward, but rather naïve Their friends' sweet tantalizing words seeped into their heads whichthe future, I spoke to my parent about it however, they didn't take the words of a child seriously

It was a risky business fro cae mansion, to a s in this ss had suffered from poverty

I never lost hope, however, fate wasn't kind to us My parents, with their helplessness and despair, ended up with a gruesome decision that they can never take back

-We're sorry We're so sorry…

With a rope in their hands, they wrapped it around their young children

[Light: Too dark boi, too dark Sohts]

[Haru: What kind of parents are they?!]

They hung , and they followed afterwards

Fortunately, or unfortunately, the old house wasn't sturdy enough

The beaht of three children and we fell down, leaving s and I survived in the face of death

But how could I be happy?

In front ofparents' corpses, and ho survived were left to pay a debt of 5 billion marcas

At the tis were seven

Out of this s

Because the creditor of this place was the Vatican, it cannot be sold and we can continue living here

In the future, the tould beconized as a wizard, they'll be treated as the saain honor and wealth all at once

However, this was still in the far future So until then, we're still considered as orphans without a ho it in the novel, it was just a rough setting inhow terrible poverty is first hand made me realize how horrible reality is

Five billion e debts incur enorinal Ertha in the novelher younger siblings

But I didn't want to do that

I decided I'd stick to them until the moment the twinsthe interest itself was already overwhelinal debt

The five million marcas debt loomed over e of 18 years old…

I was buried in that huge pile of debt

”Haa…”

I sighed heavily Today was the day I pay the interest Theeverywhere had all disappeared in a blink of an eye

The words they uttered continued to play in my mind

-I'm afraid we'll have to increase the interest for nexttime

-So this month…

They slipped out a paper, and scribbled on it was an outrageous amount that was hardly anyone could afford

I tried to seek mercy from them because it was impossible for me to take on more work, but the words froh me like a knife

I was rejected without any consideration

I ruh my empty pockets with a heavy heart

There were only a few coins left Still, I could buy so the way home

Of course, I could never buy milk, fruit s drinks, or even cheese and jaht as many as I could in the bakery

I think this bread will last until to of bread in my arms

When I reached home, the sun was already down

A cry suddenly broke out from theof the old shabby house that seeiven moment

Startled, I dashed into the house

”Charles! Ethan!”

I could see Charles and Ethan weeping

”Sister!”3

”Si-sister…”4

Charles angrily pointed at Ethan

”Ethan, by hiotten an apple fro the apple in half, eating one by theiven to obbled it all up

”I'm- I'm so sorry, sister…”

”It's okay, Ethan Charles too, don't be so angry with hiave the bread toe of crying, turned silent

The bread was hard and cruer

I alternately glanced between Charles and Ethan as they gobbled up s' bodies caught s in the h, since they have been starving at the peak of their growth

Suddenly, I felt suffocated My throat was closing up, and tears welled up in my eyes

The interest will increase drastically once s would be 10 years old by then

Their debut as a wizard co on for five ed to deal with it, but we're on the edge now

After pondering for adown the last piece of bread that I've eaten

”…I feel like I'll starve to death first before getting eaten by the main character”

”Huh? What did you say, sister?”

”Nothing”

Charles and Ethan gave ot up from my seat I stood in front of the cracked mirror in the corner of the room

A tall lady with feline-like eyes Lips draith a straight line that wouldblunt and cold Bluish-gray eyes paired with long platinuhtly tyingabout the person I'll be , I think it's better for me if I wore a dress

But there's no way I could afford one, so I tied s for clothes,

”I'll be out for a bit I'll be back soon,” I infor to which I replied with,

”I' delicious”

Their eyes went round at that statement

But as soon as I shut the door, I clenchedhand

The main character, a wizard, needs a purifier

As a purifier, I'll need onist

For the price of five billion marcas

If you ask me, it's a not such a bad deal for both the hero and me
