Facing Illfang the Kobold Lord Head-On

Asuna said nothing. She merely glanced at him, fell silent for quite a while, then finally spoke in an indifferent tone.

"How many recovery potions do you need?"

Akasaka pulled out an abacus from who knew where and began clacking away at it.

"Let me calculate."

"One ordinary blue recovery potion costs 50 Col, and it restores 10% of your MP."

"And right now, I only have enough MP to use my evasion ability for three minutes."

"In other words, ten blue recovery potions restoring 10% each would only last me three minutes."

"Conservatively speaking..."

Akasaka fell silent again for quite some time.

"When I fought the boss just now, I already tested it. In three minutes, I can take away 10% of its HP. Conservatively speaking, I'll probably need 100 blue recovery potions."

"And that doesn't include the minion beside Illfang the Kobold Lord."

"I might need more than 100..."

The moment she heard that Akasaka needed 100 bottles, perhaps even more, Asuna staggered back in fright and nearly collapsed onto the ground.

If Usagisawa Misumi had not been behind her to support her, she might have fainted on the spot.

This was money—every last bit of it was money.

Asuna did the math in her head. One potion cost 50 Col, so 100 bottles would be 5,000 Col.

And it would be more than 100 bottles. Conservatively, they would probably need around 130 bottles to have enough.

By that calculation, even if Asuna emptied her entire savings, it still would not be enough to cover Akasaka's expenses...

For the first time, Asuna felt that Akasaka was such a spendthrift. Her head throbbed, and she clutched it with both hands, even covering her ears as she curled up in Usagisawa Misumi's arms, declaring that she could not hear anything!
