"That's correct."

I had to admit that her learning ability was better than I thought. If one were to look at this place, the reality would be much faster to accept.

As soon as I raised my hand, the other mercenaries came into the amphitheater in no time.

Several humans with shields approached the survivors while casting spells on the monster.

Some people in the stadium wrinkled their faces in the sudden situation, but some were interested in the change. Arrows and magic were gradually embedded within the monster's body. Of course, it was natural that some got injured in the process.

It seemed that they had to go overboard on this a little to save the item I was buying.

In the end, however, the monster who had torn and killed humans soon stopped moving.

I thought they would finish stunning it, but it seemed like there was no way to stop the enraged guy except by killing it. There was no use crying over spilled milk, however.

'I guess I'm going to have to pay for that, too.'

Not only that, I feel like I'll have to pay to treat the injured.

Unlike me, who worried about useless things, Cho Hyejin muttered quietly as she continued to watch. I could tell what she was thinking.

"Like this..."

She wouldn't have imagined it would be solved so simply.

"Like this..."

She wouldn't have expected it could be ended so easily.

While she muttered out from the stands.

"Kill it!"

"What are you doing! Kill it!"

"You think I'm paying to see something like this?!"

"Kill it! Kill it!"

'I think I'm going to lose some money.'

However, it wasn't such a bad end.

"Simple, right?"

"..."

"I'm saying that it's just like that. It wasn't this simple to solve because we're in this place, Yuka. The problem was solved easily because I have purchasing power. Not only here, but also out there. Most of the problems around us can be solved with these shiny objects."

"This..."

"Perhaps Yuka can't afford to pay for that, so I will lend you the money. I think it will be more expensive than I first thought."

"..."

"I have one condition, however... that you become my friend."

Cho Hyejin didn't dare open her mouth. She just looked at me quietly.

Of course, one of the guides started approaching us. Probably, he was calculating what just happened.

"How would you like to pay?"

"How much is it, exactly?"

"The cost of the surviving slaves is 50 gold each for four people. One is a different species. An elf will be up to 500 gold..."

"No problem."

"The cost of a dead monster is 10,000 gold."

"Good."

Monsters were worth a lot more than dead slaves.

I had expected this, but for Cho Hyejin, I could see that she wasn't convinced as she looked at the guide, who had brought the slip with a blank expression.
