But they had not gone far.

"Hold on."

Ryuto's calm voice came from behind again.

"What's wrong now? Didn't I tell you everything?"

Hmph, interesting, is this the true nature of this country?

Ryuto thought so and declared with a relaxed tone.

"Well, even though you've told me everything, there's still one thing left unfinished."

"One more thing?"

"That is..."

As he was speaking...

"Ah—"

Ryuto suddenly sat on the ground, clutching his leg and groaning in pain.

The middle-aged man was somewhat puzzled by this sudden turn of events.

"What are you doing?"

"What am I doing? I'm injured now. Ah— it hurts."

As he spoke, he didn't forget to groan in pain.

"What... what does your injury have to do with me?"

Although the middle-aged man said this, his face already showed a worried expression.

"Of course it has to do with you. If I'm injured, it's because of the collision with your belongings just now."

Saying that, Ryuto pointed to the little girl beside him.

"Even if it's true as you say, it was her who collided with you. What does it have to do with me?"

To this, Ryuto showed a cunning smile.

"Of course it has to do with you. Since you are her owner, the responsibility for any mistakes made by your belongings falls on you, just like if you stabbed someone with a knife, they wouldn't let the knife take the blame. Are you kidding me? This is unacceptable no matter how you look at it. Moreover, it's because you didn't take care of your belongings that I got injured. So no matter what, you can't escape responsibility. Yes, most of the responsibility lies with you."

"..."

The middle-aged man was instantly speechless, but he still did not show any willingness to comply.

"Don't lie to me. Weren't you fine just now? How come you're suddenly injured now? It's obviously fake."

Facing the middle-aged man's questioning, Ryuto put on an innocent look.

"Mr. Uncle, you're wrong to say that. Actually, I was already injured from the beginning, I was just enduring it until now. But now I can't hold it anymore, it's flaring up again. Oh... it's getting worse, ah—"

Ryuto screamed again.

"Ah, darling, I didn't expect you to be so badly injured. Obviously, your bones are already fractured too."

Miyuki also purposely squatted down to check the injury, pretending to be concerned.

"Ryuto, what happened to you?"

Hiyori also crouched down with concern, but it was obvious that Hiyori was not acting, she really believed that Ryuto was hurt.

Hmm... Such an innocent child, such a strong feeling of guilt.

"..."

Perhaps seeing Hiyori's genuine expression, the middle-aged man began to waver.

"Don't... don't lie to me."

"If you don't believe me, we can go to the hospital together and get it checked, then we can get a certificate. You can't possibly not believe what the hospital says, right?"

Maybe because he lacked confidence, the middle-aged man fell silent.

"..."

After a moment of silence, the middle-aged man impatiently said,

"Alright, alright. You've done so much, all for money, right? Just tell me how much compensation you want."

"Ah, well, it's about 5 million Bett."

After hearing Ryuto's answer, the middle-aged man widened his eyes in surprise and even lost his voice for a moment.

"5 million? Are you joking? Even if it's for a prosthetic limb, it doesn't cost that much, not to mention, you only suffered a minor injury."

"Well, sir, what you said is indeed true. If it's just for treating the injury, it doesn't require that much money. But the amount I mentioned earlier includes other expenses as well."

"Other expenses?"

"That's right. Besides the cost of treatment, there's the cost of nutrition during the hospital stay. You can't leave that out, can you? In addition, there's the cost of mental damage caused by the injury, the fee for the low spirits due to being unable to work normally while hospitalized (although I don't have a job), and also the entertainment fee for buying games and comics during that time. Furthermore, there are expenses for meals, water, baths, breakfast, lunch, dinner, late-night snacks, coffee, bubble tea, iced tea, and even the cost of buying a bed, and so on. In fact, there are far more expenses when you really start calculating, but since I see that you and I are quite fate... I've generously given you a discount of 0.1%. You should be grateful to me. If it were someone else, they would definitely ask for at least 5 billion Bett. What I've offered is already an extremely low, lowball price. I'm practically the conscience of the industry. Ah...it hurts."

After saying a long string of words in one breath, Ryuto couldn't help but let out a cry of pain.
