Afterward, everyone asked Fang Li when he would be leaving.
Fang Li gave them a direct answer.
"Probably three days from now?"
Alice had asked the same question.
At the time, Fang Li had given the same answer.
Therefore, Alice's farewell banquet for Fang Li was set for the evening three days later.
Over those three days, Kazuma, Aqua, Megumin, and Darkness seemed to understand that Fang Li's decision could not be overturned. With his reasons being sound and Fang Li saying that he would return within a year at most, they decisively abandoned any other thoughts and began preparing to see him off.
Specifically, they helped Fang Li purchase Magic Potions and Magic Items.
Up until now, Fang Li had only taken on the highest-difficulty quests, and the rewards and bonuses he received had been frighteningly high. As a result, the savings he had accumulated were simply staggering—enough to serve as a nation's operating funds for an entire year.
If he kept that money on hand, there was a chance it would be useless in other worlds.
After all, this world's currency did not consist solely of gold coins. There were also copper coins, silver coins, and even paper currency.
Gold coins were fine. Even in other worlds, he could sell them for money of equal or even greater value, making things convenient for Fang Li.
But the other currencies were nowhere near as useful as gold coins, and paper currency was completely useless. Spending it was the best choice.
Of course, he could leave the money to Kazuma and the others.
However, if he left the money to those people, Fang Li could not guarantee that they would not simply give themselves over to depravity and start living utterly reckless lives.
Thus, Fang Li promptly discarded that idea.
