Japan was a strange country, perhaps because of its national circumstances...
Here, pocket money and household expenses were kept strictly separate. The more traditional the family, the more this was the case. Keiryu Doma was a traditional man, and with his traditional way of thinking, children only needed enough pocket money to get by. As for clothes and accessories, those would naturally be taken care of by someone else!
A man like that suddenly saw an application for five million yen a month in pocket money.
His expression looked like this: "_"
Then.
怒(ノ｀ー′)ノ~~┻━┻
Was five million yen a month a lot? For the Doma Family, it was just a drop in the bucket, but for an ordinary person—damn right it was a lot!
Think about it. A University of Tokyo graduate would earn roughly 300 to 500 million yen over a lifetime. Assuming forty years of work, that would be 300 to 500 million over 480 months. Averaged out using the highest figure, it came to about 700,000 yen a month.
Now compare that to the pocket money Sogo Doma was asking for. Damn, the money it took to support Sogo Doma alone could support more than seven University of Tokyo graduates. And that wasn't even the whole story. Those people would still have to support their families, contribute to household expenses, pay their loans...
But Sogo Doma ate at the Doma Family home and lived at the Doma Family home...
Thinking of it that way, Keiryu Doma's head stopped hurting. His heart was aching instead!
"Sogo Doma..."
"Tsk." Sogo Doma clicked his tongue. "Did you find out?"
Keiryu Doma: "..."
What the hell? If he hadn't found out, were you really going to take that and collect the money? What a wastrel!
Sorry, butler. I was wrong just
