Isekai de Kojiin wo Hiraita kedo, Naze ka Darehitori Sudatou to Shinai Ken - Vol. 3 Ch. 16 - Child And Parent

[Dezaki]

FFS all this time I thought the king was quite "kind" to gave him a place to live (although it was practically abandoned). when in truth that place is problematic and it wasn't even in the country's jurisdiction. I bet his promise to return MC home is also bullshit. MC should bring the lollies then abandon that place and immigrate to another country

 

[nerufu]

Couldn't they just move and start another orphanage smh

@aichan
Well, if it follows the standard, 1 that world currency = 1 yen, then it would be about $91,000 USD. Not as much as it seems in terms of property debt, but more than enough to be a significant issue. Especially because it seems this orphanage isnt a non-for-proffit organization with significant government backing. So money will be an issue since income is almost nonexistant from an orphanage.

Basically the king is a asshole for establishing this kind of setup. However, these guys are not necessarily in the wrong though. The do have a contract which entitles them to collect debt on the buisness. MC is not the one who should be paying it, but because he is the current active director (albeit not apparently by a contract standpoint) he has a responsibility to pay it. It is not fair to either party. The collectors at least are willing to make a deal with him to help him out somewhat.

 

[Lanfear]

i think they have every variety of loli covered. wonder what they'll add next. nvm mind i thought titty girl was a short stack.

 

[TetraSky]

Man... I would've abandoned that place in a heartbeat.

 

[Azsy]

Dude goes to an S-rank adventurer and only offers an extension on debt, this is fucking retarded.
Should be offering to just pay up the debt himself in exchange.

 

[CountryMage]

If it's not in the country's power to affect that orphanage, then MC has not been installed as Director, and that isn't his debt. Plus the owners of the debt/orphanage now owe him for all the repairs he's made, and the value he's added to that land.

@Azsy
10 million sounds a little too steep for a few potions
The debtor might just come back someday and be able to pay it off, so forgiving the debt isn't exactly prudent.

There's really nothing of note in the orphanage. They only brought the matter of the debt up and threatened to repossess the land so they can get the S-rank candidate to do a quest for them. Extension on the debt is just a formality and for all we know, it could be delayed indefinitely - the orphanage probably isn't worth 10 million. The orphanage is might be worth more as collateral.

But, MC can have the upper hand later on if he happens to make extra potions. That old man was buying up all the potions everywhere, so MC would be guaranteed a bulk sale.

 

[kaminomikan]

does he needs the benefits of that land?
also, how much is the 10 mill? he being a S-rank candidate should be able to get that sum soon, if he needs that land.

 

[Airantu]

This is dumb as shit. The king gave MC this land and director job but doesn't actually have the authority to give him this land and director job and now MC has to pay the debt of the previous land holder and director. I call BS. Honestly if what this old dude is saying is true. MC should just take the girls and abandon this orphanage since he is not the real director and start a new one somewhere else. Since this will also allow him to not use the potions and down payment on the debt but can use it as a way to build a new orphanage.

 

[Jeikob]

My interest in this one has waned so much, I was half expecting this chapter to end with a swift strike of the ol' Ax.

 

[Yohantus]

He had multiples paths to take and took the worst, as other said before he could make a better deal or take advantage of the "not the real director" situation and go to another country or just open a new orphanage.
I want to think that he won't only take the deadline extension in the next chapter.

 

[SinisterCoelacanth]

"Intermediate"-level potions are so tricky to make that even the specialists can only make them by pure chance?
What the hell is beyond intermediate, then?
"Oh, there's High potions, but they've never actually existed, we just assumed they could and named things accordingly"??

 

[GridLite]

@SinisterCoelacanth possible that the high level potions can only be created by other summoned people but not by locals

I get y'all tantrums lmao there's a not-so-dumb way of solving the debt problem but don't forget the personality of MC is pretty fucking passive to extreme so i think it's pretty much within the expectations imo

 

[Xystus]

That time I Isekai into a new world and became an orphan manager but I started an adventure with two loli and busty Aqua.

 

[tuatara1]

This isn't a very good series, is it?

 

[jimmyclear]

Old man's desperate. But I agree with the old man, use any means necessary including idiots.

 

[feha]

Just tell the guy to go to the king and complain, as royal decree ought to overrule any prior ownership or rights. The noble has no ground to stand one here.

 

[broadsword80]

Even after their explanation, the deal still seems off. I highly doubt those two are going to try and abide by their agreement, solely because MC has no ground to stand on.

Also MC is an idiot. If he believes every person with a sob story he's going to have a bad time.
