Book 2: Chapter 34: Side story: The young Lady's quite frequent Social Studies Part 5
Debt collectors had marched into the diner run by Leena’s parents while forcing unreasonable demands upon them. They condemned them to either repay all of the debt before the fixed date or be forced to sell the diner to them.
Although these were unreasonable demands, Leena and her parents were at a disadvantage so they were in no position to refuse. Leena was on the verge of succumbing to despair, thinking that, at this rate, their diner would end up being snatched away. Just then, Effy, who was supposed to be working in the kitchen, emerged in front of her.
“It’ll be alright,” she said with a smile, patting Leena’s shoulder before wedging herself between the debt collectors and Regina as if to protect her.
“Huuuh?! Who the hell are you?!”
“I’m a part-timer working at this diner.”
“Huuh?! A temp worker like you should stay the hell out of this.”
“I cannot do that. Because, if this diner closes down, I won’t be able to continue my Social Studies.”
“What the hell are you going on about?!”
When the man attempted to come closer, Effy thrust a finger in his face.
