076 Advance payment

```

Takahashi Junji pressed Nagatomo Ryuuhei's left hand onto the coffee table and, holding a switchblade, made preparations to make his move.

"Mr. Takahashi, please, I beg you! Next week, I'll definitely repay all the money next week!" Nagatomo Ryuuhei struggled and wailed.

"Don't move around! Idiot! If I cut off an extra finger by accident, don't blame me," Takahashi clicked his tongue as he scolded, while signaling to his underling.

A few Gokudō gathered around, holding down the squirming Mr. Nagatomo.

In the midst of this chaos, the unseen Zashiki-warashi by the side finally mustered the courage.

She tried to step forward and shove the bullying Gokudō, swinging her little fists at them.

But the Zashiki's strength was too small, not much different from that of an ordinary six- or seven-year-old girl, so it had no effect at all.

It's all over now...

The Zashiki had done her best.
