After Diana said goodbye to Tori, the receptionist she had dealt with for many years, it was almost noon.

It stands to reason that Diana, who should have had a good meal and celebrated, had to go back to the house where she lived and carefully hide the two hundred silver coins.

The house where Diana lived was a detached room with an attic and a basement, the only thing in this world that her parents had left her except for her name, and the whole house was empty, with nothing left but a bed, a wardrobe, and a huge bathtub.

Those who can be sold are sold, and those who can't be sold are taken to exchange some firewood, rice, oil, and salt with people.

Thankfully, before Diana starved to death, she found some good odd jobs, as well as the D-class quest system that the Mercenary Office had started that year, which allowed her to survive.

She carefully pulled out a large, delicate box from under her bed and opened it. Inside was a handful of coins, most of them silver and copper, and the most expensive gold coin was so desirable for Diana at this time.

"During the school day, the aunt who helped the vegetable shop with the children earned 50 silver coins, and the mayor of the town earned 100 silver coins for his family to find cats. . . ."

Diana poured all the coins in the box onto the bed in one go, counting the amount of her mission income during this time.

"Add to that the 200 credits you earned today, that's a total of 3,012 credits! I'll treat myself to a barbecue in a while, perfect~"

This seems like a good note. The last time I ate meat seems to be when Diana accidentally bit her mouth, right? The 3000 was carefully packed in a box and tucked back under the bed. Diana lay on her own hard bed with no mattress.

The mattress was taken by her to exchange for a bag of rice the year before last, which was a helpless thing, who told her that she was already poor enough to eat toilet paper at that time.

"It's a pity that I'm underage, or I'll have a drink tonight ~ plus barbecue, suck ~"

Diana, who had only eaten one pancake all day, was already hungry with her chest on her back, and it can be said that she was now completely enduring with a belief in greed for small and cheap things.

"I definitely want to eat two, no, three people's servings! Hahaha!! ”

The empty room reverberated with the delicate laughter of a young girl. For some reason, this burst of laughter revealed an inexplicable sour taste of poverty.

……………

The next morning, the sun poured into Diana's room, and the humanoid creature inside the nest reluctantly arched a few times before reaching out a slender white right hand and rubbing her eyes.

Qi Er's short hair was a little messy because of the indecent sleeping position, and one of the suspenders of the pajamas slipped unnaturally to expose half of her shoulders, because she needed to save up for tuition, the number of times Diana slept lazily in the whole half a year was counted on one hand, which was cruel to her who slept until noon every day in her previous life.

Diana scratched her hair to sober herself up, her complexion didn't seem to be very good, and it was rare to get a good night's sleep, but the effect was not satisfactory.

She rubbed her belly

"Looks like yesterday's meat wasn't fresh."

Well, it's pretty good to eat some, anyway. Today is the first day of school, and even if she is as poor as Diana, she has a lavish breakfast.

Plain milk that is about to expire and rusks that have fallen off.

Today, Diana-chan is also going to be full of vitality. After breakfast, Diana took the more than 3,000 coins she had worked so hard to save to school.

Diana's place of residence is not very far from the school, about 20 minutes walk.

"Good morning~"

"Na Na~ This summer, my father took me to the imperial capital~ and said that after I graduated, if I could be admitted to the advanced magic school of the god capital, he would take me to the beach to play~"

On the road, except for Diana, there were many students from the magic school, talking about their summer vacation memories, real or false.

Diana didn't care about this, and walked silently with her shabby school bag on her back.

"Oops~Let me see who this is~"

It is said that the little girl's voice is the best, like an ethereal lark, but the voice that sounded behind Diana contained a full of malice that was about to overflow. Diana looked back and saw the girl behind her, who was also from the same school as herself, and frowned unconsciously.

This girl is the daughter of the richest man in Reims Town, she can be called the pearl of the palm, obviously the same uniform but the effect worn by Diana is completely different, the long golden hair is draped over the shoulders, and the whole person is surrounded by an inexplicable aura, maybe this is the so-called local tyrant atmosphere.

If this guy doesn't have a bad personality, Diana doesn't mind having such a tyrant friend.

“……”

"Let me guess ha, how are you doing this summer vacation, Diana~"

The eldest lady covered the lower half of her face with a folding fan, and looked at Diana as if she was looking at something disgusting, which was very uncomfortable.

"No matter how I'm doing, I don't have a dime to do with you, the canary lady who is locked in a cage and only chirps every day."

Diana glanced at the rich second generation who she didn't remember her name, tightened her schoolbag and walked away, the upper beam was not right and the lower beam was crooked, even a teenager had already developed such a face, and she didn't dare to imagine what it would be like in more than ten years.

"Phew! Disgusting scum" at Diana's back, she mercilessly disdainful and spittish.

…………

"Diana, what about your tuition!!"

Diana's homeroom teacher is a small and glasses fire magician, just like his magic attributes, he is very irritable and angry at every turn.

And the reason for his anger at this time is with Diana. Her tuition was gone, and the coins that filled her bag disappeared suddenly, and the coins inside had been replaced with gravel blocks, some of which were still stained with a little dirt.

"Teacher, please believe me! I really came with tuition! Diana, who is a two-life person, can't help but be confused when she encounters this kind of scene.

"Believe? How can I believe you with these broken stones!! ”

A bag of stones was scattered on the ground by the teacher, and the stones rolled on the classroom floor. In the face of the thunderous teacher, Diana lowered her head and did not dare to look at her, for fear that a fireball would be thrown over if she disagreed.

"But I checked it yesterday, so I must have made a mistake."

Diana thought about the loopholes of this matter repeatedly, the first thing that can do this is the weird space magic in addition to the thieves and thieves, the thieves and thieves in the vicinity are all well aware of Diana's situation, and there is no reason to attack her here, and the person who controls the mysterious space magic has no reason to steal more than 3,000 silver coins from her.

"Something went wrong. If you want me to think that you don't have the money to pay the tuition, you have to make this decision."

"That's it, I saw her go to eat barbecue yesterday, and she must have the idea that she might as well spend it if she didn't save enough anyway."

The children who were watching the bustle around them gradually showed the same expressions as their parents did when they looked at Diana.
