So that was what happened afterwards. And were you able to convince your parents?

Dad was already pissed because I was living by myself just out of my selfish whim, but mom snapped too. And then there's my precedent of being a shut-in, too.

My grades aren't that bad thanks to you, so I managed to strong-arm my way to convincing them to let me keep living by myself...

They completely cut off my allowance. I'll have work 6 days a week starting next week. Full-time on Saturdays. And I had a bunch saved up but that's getting tight now too... It's hard living...

There, there, Kazuma-san. If nothing else, shouldn't you at least be glad your friend is safe?
