The closer it got to payday, the harder it was to endure.
Natsume felt this deeply now.
Only two days remained until the "spoils" from Elder Genshiki arrived.
Yet those two days seemed to pass especially slowly!
So slowly that Natsume even considered activating the [Law of Time] to speed up his perception.
Finally.

In fact, it was somewhat absurdly large!
The vast majority were corpses of the Maha Clan, while
