Bab 1406: Let's Start Over

-----

After solving the whole debt problem with Ruby, and with the debtors leaving right after, we decided to sit down and calm down a bit more. Ruby was still nervous though, that we paid the debt simply redirected her fear towards us, or me, I don't know…

"I-I don't know how to even repay you now! W-What do I do?! Did you really had to do this?" Ruby cried, groaning as if she was about to die.

"You don't really need to repay anything," I said with a smile. "Money is money anyways, just material goods, that'll never replace the freedom they would have taken away from you if you became a debt slave… Which is also something I'll need to talk with my grandfather one day. I don't really like that weird law."

"B-But something like that…" Ruby muttered. "It makes me feel strange. There is no person in the world that would just give away so much money out of nowhere, without expecting anything in return!"
