Lureya looked at Shami, her little hand palm up.

Even so, she did not expect too much from Shami.

So her small hand was always ready to pull back, fearing Shami would suddenly slap her.

The magical girl could be self-sufficient, of course, if Shami was willing to pay for her, she would happily accept it.

Shami pulled out three bulging cloth bags from her Demon King Ring, looking at the three of them with frustration.

"Are you kidding me, what can you do with a dozen or so gold coins? If people see us, they might think we can't afford anything. Just a little bit is enough for nothing. 500 gold coins each. If it's not enough, tell me."

"Eh?!" ×3

"Eat whatever you want, drink whatever you want, buy whatever you want. Don't let the townspeople think we demons can't spend!"

Shami generously handed the bags to the three.

"No, Shami, why are you suddenly acting so lavish? Didn't you haggle with the boss over 10 silver coins for juice in the tavern before?! Are you going to tell me next that our family is actually very wealthy!"

The elf maiden excitedly moved her little face close to Shami's.

"It's overflowing! It's the first time storing this much money in a Storage Ring, feels like it's going to burst! The storage ring of 2 gold coins is bearing the scary weight of so many gold coins!"

The white-haired girl was also excited, her little face moved emotionally.

This feeling of living off others is so good, sniff sniff...

The magical girl silently put the money into her Storage Bracelet.

Confirmed: This is the first solid bribe from the Demon King.

"No, it's not that, just hope everyone has fun. Alright, I'll go handle our accommodation now."

Just like that, after flooding the three girls with a wave of gold coins, Shami waved goodbye to them.

…

Shami took a stroll around Senmai, not opting for just any inn, but gradually selecting from the core area of the city outward, finally renting a small three-story villa with a garden and pool by the beach.

Three days and two nights cost a total of 300 gold coins.

After obtaining proof of residence and the villa's key, Shami once again headed towards the center of Senmai.

"Shami, we must actually have money now, right…"

Even the skeleton in the box was shocked.

"Of course not," Shami shook her head, "We have practically spent half of our assets."

"...So are you planning to spend all the money and then surrender?"

"Bone Frame, you need to understand one thing, in this world, money is the least scarce. Spend the money, and just find a way to earn it back. Money comes and goes."

"I can't imagine there's any way to earn 1800 gold coins back all at once."

"There is, but it depends on you."

"Eh?"

"Listen, when I put you in the box, I slipped a Storage Ring on your hand, disguised your ring as a regular ring using magic power, but it still can be used for storage. Also took out the black stockings hidden in your skull. I was puzzled why you could always conjure black stockings out of nowhere; turns out they were hidden in such a place."

"Shami, don't randomly go through my personal items! It's already illegal behavior! Please return the black stockings; they are my lifeline!"

"I'll return them later, and even buy you anything you want."

Shami patted the box, soothing the box's emotions.

"Really...?"

"Of course. However, it will depend on your performance later."

Shami patted the box again, just right on the skeleton's pelvis.

A moment of silence followed.

"Such things… Shami, are you secretly having an affair with Lureya while hiding from her~?"

"Shut up! Why would you first think of Lureya! I'm talking about something else."

Shami shook the box vigorously.

"What do you want me to do... I'm just a skeleton, please don't ask me to solve math problems. Solving world problems for prizes is too hard..."

"Never expected you to have such intelligence anyway. Later you'll disguise yourself as a regular skeleton, and when someone brings you into a room, collect everything in the room, after three hours, I'll take you out. That's it."

"Sounds like helping with house chores? Indeed, many skeleton species are responsible for chores in the Demon King Castle..."

Shami muttered to herself, stopped walking, and looked at the building in front of her, full of anticipation.

"We've arrived, Bone Frame, don't make any noise afterward, or if anything happens, I won't guarantee you'll survive."

"Eh?! Suddenly became serious! Shami, at least tell me where we're going!"

"The bank vault."

Shami gazed at the largest bank in Senmai, and stepped inside.

"So we're going to steal a vault!!! That's not simple at all! Speaking of holidays, Shami, you had other intentions there all along, right!"

The largest bank in the center of Senmai's bustling commercial street.

In the city of Senmai, many tourists come to this bank to withdraw cash from the vault for spending, while local merchants deposit the money they earn into the bank for safekeeping.

Even though Storage Rings exist on this continent, most people are ordinary and don't have access to professional equipment. The bank provides a guarantee for the safe storage of most funds.
