Chapter 156
“Now, you need to pay the medical fee, don’t you?” Raciel’s smile shone brightly.
In this world, every action must come with a price. Labor demands fair compensation. Numerous part-time jobs must receive an appropriate hourly wage. Even plucking a white hair from Dad’s head should fetch one hundred won per strand – such is the way of the world!

That was out of the question.
‘Especially from an elf like this one, I must definitely take payment!’ Raciel nodded vehemently to himself.

The reason was to allow anyone, regardless of wealth or status, to come and receive treatment without a burden. Indeed, he had reaped considerable benefits from this practice.
But now the situation was different.
‘From now on, I have to cough up quite a lot of money to this elf as compensation for the damage of burning the forest. But just giving that away feels like too much of a loss.’
That was the situation.
