This chapter is already less than 900 words when Gumi started.
The next day, I set out for town with the information that Isaac-san had given to me.
I informed Fer and the rest that I would not be leaving the city today, but they still stuck with me for some reason.
Sui was in my bag, sleeping as usual.
Well, itâs not like she could not sleep back at the house, but I still find myself worrying about her all alone in a big house by herself.
While we were walking down the streets, my familiars started acting up as usual.
ââWell, where are we going? Food stalls?ââ asked Fer.
ââOh! That would be great! I like food stalls! Some meat sold by stalls is a bit lacking, but it becomes delicious when this guy adds special seasoning to it.ââ
What the... weâre not going to food stalls here. [6] Youâd just complain about the lack of quality meat. [1] As for Dora-chan, why do you remember the oddest things?
âWeâre not going to food stalls, weâre heading for the orphanage.â
ââOrphanage?ââ
ââWhy are we going to such a place?ââ
âThe thing is... [4] you know I came from a different world, right? I came here with nothing but the clothes on my back before meeting Fer and the rest of you. After that... well, I never had to worry about money. Itâs all thanks to you guys... [5]â
[6] ââYeah! Weâre awesome!ââ
[6] ââUmu, you should remember this and feed us more.ââ
[4] âYes, yes, youâre right. Anyway, I still have a lot of money even after buying a mansion in Carelina and the servants, I donât see how else I could spend the money. You guys hunt most of the meat we eat and while I do buy stuff from Net Super, things there donât cost a lot so I still have too much money left over.â [5]
ââMu, is that so?ââ
ââYeah, Iâve stopped counting after the money went past 100,000 gold. I honestly donât know how much money I have now. We made a stupid amount of money just from selling dragon parts...â
[5a] [5a]
ââSo? Why are you telling us this?ââ
ââWell... if you could refrain from attacking the next dragon you see...ââ
ââHey, if a dragon comes by our way, weâre taking it down!ââ
ââIf you could just refrain yourself...ââ
ââNo.ââ
ââNope!ââ [5]
ââUgh, well, anyway weâre going off-topic here. What Iâm trying to say is that I want to find ways to use the money. I want to spend my money constructively.ââ
ââConstructively?ââ
ââWhatâs that? Canât you just buy more food?âân/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
ââFood only costs so much, I want to contribute positively to society!ââ
ââMu, you lost me there.ââ
ââMeh, I donât really care so long as we get to eat delicious food.ââ
ââYou guys... remember the time we spent with the children? We made their lives a little better by supporting them and the organisation that protects them. Thatâs what spending money constructively means.â [5b] There is a lot more to it, of course. I still felt like a hypocrite when giving money as a charity like this but at least the money is helping people rather than just being stuck growing like mould in my [Item Box].
In fact, I had been thinking of setting up ways to spend my money. Even now, I donât feel like the money really belongs to me, but, I think the best thing to do is to support charities that help the less fortunate. [5]
ââDo what you like. Just make sure to keep feeding us good food,ââ [7] sniffed Fer, who was clearly not interested in financial matters at all.
ââSame. Good food and dungeons in every city! Woohoo! Yeah, you owe us that!ââ
Well, I guess that works as an âokayâ from two of my familiars. [5c]
ââSui? What do you think?â
ââHmm, hmm... Sui thinks... itâs nice to eat nice things and pew pew monsters in dungeon~~ââ [5c] [5c]
ââAaahhh, Sui-tan is cute, but I guess I canât expect you to understand how the money system works...ââ
ââHey! If youâre going to donate money, donate to the church of the Great Goddess Ninril-sama!ââ
ââEh? Ah, yes, I supposed I could-ââ
ââNinril-sama granted you a blessing, didnât she? Then, you should show your gratitude by donating to her church and have a great statue built in her honour.ââ
ââOi, oi, enough about that. Weâre going to the orphanage first. There is more than 1 goddess and I had been giving them offerings each month.ââ
Not to mention, I would never donate money to a church just to build a great statue of the greedy Deplorable-sama.

[a] Deleted extra scenes about how rich Mukouda is and how he got there, and how the money just increases. Like, rub it in, wonât you?
[b] Sad life of an orphan
[c] Deleted extra scenes of the familiars joking or talking seriously about money. Monsters would mostly be dismissive of matters like money, like, come on.

[8] Creative Licence Taken â Gave Fer credit for mentioning the church first instead of Mukouda. Also, Fer is basically a devout believer, so heâd never imagine that his goddess was a Deplorable-sama.
