Chapter 883: Saezuru Wants to Cry but Can

"I almost forgot about you, little thing!"

Yae Miko gently tapped her forehead.

Just now, her thoughts had been entirely on Kage cooking and manga.

She'd overlooked Saezuru beside her.

Thinking of this, Yae Miko pulled her over to behind the shelf.

"Boss, this child wants to grow taller—do you have any manga suitable for her?"

"Read manga? How is that related to growing taller?"

Hearing my lord's words, Saezuru scratched her head, her face full of confusion.

And what even is manga?

"After reading manga, you get rewards—maybe one of them will help you grow taller."

Looking at the Saezuru before him, Han Feng smiled.

He hadn't expected the little trickster fox to drag this sleepy little thing over.

Still, he had plenty of patience for a cute little loli.

Come to think of it, this was the fourth loli he'd met.

Once he met Seeing Yaoyao again,

he could form a five-person team.

"So that's how it is!"

Saezuru suddenly understood.

Reading manga gives rewards?

Though it sounded unreal, since my lord didn't object,

it must be true.

Besides, this was the only chance she'd encountered so far—

she had to give it a try.

Thinking this, Saezuru looked eagerly at Han Feng.

"Boss, which manga should I read?"

"Hmm…"

Han Feng paused to think.

Actually, the enlarging lamp from "Doraemon" would be perfect.

Little Keli had already tested it.

But the effect only lasted one day.

Clearly not suitable.

As for Peace Star and Long Zhu, forget it.

Not just because of the difficulty, but using such miraculous items for growing taller—

wouldn't Saezuru probably hesitate?

After much thought, Han Feng decided "Journey to the West" was more suitable.

After all, it had many immortals and many pills.

Helping a child grow taller probably wouldn't be hard.

But it depended on Saezuru's luck.

Plus, this manga was suitable for all ages, perfect for Saezuru.

Thinking this, he felt a stir in his mind.

A manga flew off the shelf into his hands.

"This manga contains many miraculous things—if you're lucky, you might get the reward you want~"

Han Feng smiled, holding the manga.

"'Journey to the West'?"

Saezuru examined the manga's cover, her eyes brimming with curiosity.

Though she didn't know what it was about,

it looked interesting.

So she promptly took the manga and pulled out a pile of Mora.

"Thank you, Boss—this is ten million Mora, payment for reading manga."

"The shop rule is ten thousand Mora per person, once per day—your money's enough for a hundred days."

Looking at the table piled high with Mora, Han Feng's expression turned strange.

He hadn't realized!

Saezuru was rich?

What happened to her monthly salary of two hundred thousand Mora?

"Eh? Only ten thousand Mora?!"

Saezuru clutched the manga, her face stunned.

Judging by the boss's expression, he clearly had no reason to lie to her.

Even if she was slow-witted, she finally realized now.

She'd definitely been tricked by my lord!

And she'd even promised to run errands for her later…

This is precious time for slacking off—no, precious time for rest.

Thinking of this, Sōyū looked up at Yae Miko, on the verge of tears.

"My lord, is it still possible for me to return the money to you now?"

"Of course it is, but you mustn't break our agreement!"

After all, you asked for this yourself—I didn't force you!"

Yae Miko crouched down, patted Sōyū's head, and smiled warmly.

"Fine…"

Sōyū silently lowered her head.

She truly dared not dodge My Lord's debt.

Oh well, consider it repayment for My Lord taking her to the manga shop.

Sōyū could only comfort herself this way now.
