"First up, here are the supplemental funds for Sebas," Momonga explained separating a small pile of gold and silver.

"Next, here is the reconstruction assistance and equipment fund for the lizard man villages."

'That leaves...a pathetic few copper coins'🥲

'It's not enough. There's nowhere near enough money!'

"Psh-bwahahahahaa!!" You laughed watching Momonga worrying about funds.

He hurriedly composed himself after seeing you in your human form.

"Y/N-chan what brings you here?"


"I realize you weren't in Nazarick and I wanted us to wear matching yukata to the festival," you replied seating yourself at the edge of his desk.

"But it seems you have money trouble? Adventuring not paying enough?" You mused.


"Not nearly enough," he sighed, a knock sounded on the door before you could respond.

Momonga quickly put on the helmet to his adventurer Momon armour before giving the visitor permission to come in.

The door opened and Nabe stepped in.

"Is something wrong Nabe?" He asked.

"Yes, Momon-san...lady Y/N" she responded with a curt bow in your direction which you dismissed.

"Well?"

"Right. The iron ore that you ordered from the merchant is ready," she reported.

"I see. I'll get his payment ready at once," Momon responded scooping some gold and silver coins into a bag before handing it to Nabe.

"But why are we ordering it from so many different sources?" She asked.


"It's an experiment. I'm learning how the Exchange Box appraises these things."


"Understood. Then I shall go buy it at once." Nabe responded.


"Right. If the need arises you know what to do?" He asked.

"I will give safety top priority and withdraw with haste. I will relocate to the counterfeit Nazarick that Lord Aura is building."

"Very good. Ok off you go," At this time only you and Ains remained in the room.

"So ...matching outfits?" You stated sporting a sheepish smile.


*********

"How is this?" Momonga stood awkwardly lifting the wide sleeves of the red yukata decorated with wild plum blossoms.

"Red is not your colour, try the next one," you commented looking at Momonga with hard scrutiny.


"No"

"Nope"

"Definitely not!"

"Hmm, it's missing something...Jibril bring out those haori," Y/n said with a thoughtful look.

Jibril did as ordered and brought out a couples pair of white haori lined with subtle bamboo blossoms.

Taking the male haori into your hands, you approached Momonga gently place the garment on his shoulders over the black yukata. Closing the pins infront, you took a step back to take in his full look.


It was perfect.

"This is it"
