“My name is Kobayashi Shinsuke, 42 years old. I’m the Head of Financial Section of the Department of Natural Disasters at Marline Insurance. I’ve got a new recruit under me, and I can’t stand her smiles, her glares and carefree attitude. She looks exactly like the crazy woman who went after me yesterday, and now she works here?!

He said to get her attention. The older woman then leaned back in her seat as well, positioning herself at Hana's side in the same fashion as Yuuto; like two slightly overzealous bodyguards. "Take a look at this," Yuuto said, pointing to the computer screen of the new intern. An intern who, by now, had completely stopped working, and was wondering why she now had two adults leaning over each of her shoulders with a concentrated look aimed at her document. And after a few seconds, Mari winced. "Ouch..." She said, as if what she was seeing was painful, just by looking. She then put her left hand on Hana's shoulder, and shook her head. "Chief Kobayashi is onto you..." She deduced with a sorry voice. "He asked you to return this to him by when?" "Tomorrow morning...?" Hana replied hesitantly. "Ouch..." Yuuto said in turn. "What a piece of..." But the young man quickly paused, looking suspiciously around and turning his head like a prairie dog on guard. Then, seeing that the object of his insults was not walking around the floor - like a vulture hovering in the air looking for a new prey - he whispered sharply to complete his sentence. "What a bastard!" He said in a breath, almost inaudibly. ______________________________________ Cover art by Banae (Instagram: @ba.nae ) English QC : Banae/Maumau

"If I win this bet, you'll help me with my business," Rina says coolly, leaning forward, her fingers tapping rhythmically on the table. "And if you win, I'll… owe you one favor. Your choice." Jihoon smirks, leaning back in his chair with an almost playful glint in his eyes. "Deal. But you might regret making that promise." •••Chapter's Description••• Kara Ilvion (Before Reincarnation) Appearance: Kara had a striking presence that commanded attention in the markets of Aurendia. HSE has a blonde hair, and her sharp emerald-green eyes seemed to see through every deal and lie. Her skin was fair, with a healthy glow from the countless hours she spent outdoors. She wore elegant yet practical merchant robes adorned with intricate gold embroidery, reflecting her wealth and status. Personality: Kara was a confident, quick-witted woman with a sharp tongue and a love for gold. Her intelligence and charm made her a force to be reckoned with in negotiations. Despite her pragmatic demeanor, she had a soft spot for the underprivileged, often helping struggling merchants—so long as it didn't hurt her profits too much.

Her eyes are green, giving her a naturally gentle and innocent look. Her complexion is pale, a little dull due to the stress of living alone. She's thin and petite, reflecting the struggles she faced after losing her father and living frugally. Her clothes are modest and slightly oversized, often a combination of hand-me-downs and simple items her father left behind. Personality Post-Reincarnation: Initially confused and overwhelmed, Rina retains Kara's sharp intellect and love for strategy. However, her experiences as an orphan add layers of vulnerability and resilience. Over time, she learns to balance her love for money with her new circumstances, gradually forming connections and finding meaning beyond wealth.
