A Guide to Salvation in Another World for a Bankrupt Hero

The Survival Log of (Not Really) the Hero Lina in Another World: Current Status: Accidentally incurred a debt of one hundred million gold coins while testing her magic.

Party: A princess with E-rank luck, a Holy Sword who never stops making snarky comments, an elf who puts money first, and a mage who clocks out on time.

Goals: 1. Work hard to pay off the debt. 2. Try hard not to do good deeds (99% chance of failure). 3. Investigate the real reason the demons have gone berserk (while we're at it).

Today's Mission Summary:

· Planned to use a pack of direwolves to attack a rival mercenary band and reap the rewards.

Result: The Holy Sword suddenly demanded to unleash its ultimate move, “Love's Purification.” A flash of light later, the direwolves and their enemies were hugging and crying together, having become best friends. Mission reward: +0. Received one banner of gratitude.

· Tried to secretly pocket the ancient gold coins found during a mission.

Result: The princess “accidentally” bumped into me, scattering the coins everywhere. They were all turned over to the kingdom to pay off the debt.

· Suspected that a local noble was colluding with the demons, so I planned to sneak into his manor at night.

Result: Mistaken for a poor, lost young girl, I was warmly welcomed and escorted back, with a basket of little cookies to take along.

Conclusion: The road to paying off the debt is long and arduous. Also, the demons are acting very strangely. It doesn't seem like a simple invasion. It's more like they're... running away?

Tomorrow's plan: Keep earning money (mainly), keep investigating (while we're at it).
