Makino Chie touched her entire body. No, she should say that her clothes were now tattered and her phone screen was cracked from being dropped.
She has no money on her at all, not a single penny.
After realizing this.
Chie Makino shrank back, looking a little aggrieved, and confessed, "I'm sorry, I don't have a single penny on me right now..."
Lorraine could see her current state; she was barely clothed.
"Oh, I'm so unlucky to have run into a penniless wretch like you."
"Waaah, I'm so sorry! If I had money, I would definitely repay you."
"Alright, alright, stop spouting this nonsense."
[Brother Lin, please stop bullying her! She looks so pitiful. She was bullied by those bad guys before, and now she's finally been rescued. Brother Lin, please let her go.]
You're just too kind, girl.
Lorraine reached behind her with her right hand, took out a trench coat from her ring, and handed it to the other person.
"This is……"
Looking at the clothes handed to her, and then at the speechless expression on the other person's face, Makino Chie suddenly understood. A smile returned to her face, and she bowed shyly, saying, "Thank you! You're so kind~"
"Well, I didn't get any thank-you money, and I even lost a set of clothes. What kind of situation is this?"
"that……"
"What's wrong? Is there another problem?"
"This clothing... doesn't it look like something a man would wear?"
Chie Makino looked at the trench coat she had just put on. The size was obviously too big, which made her a little embarrassed. Moreover, the coat seemed to have a unique smell, which she couldn't quite put her finger on, but it smelled like a man's.
Lorraine replied.
"These are men's clothes, so what?"
"Hey! Could it be... your boyfriend's?"
【Boy friend! 】
Wu Tina was very shy at that moment.
Lorraine, however, remained expressionless.
"No, it's mine."
"Huh? But you just said... this is a man's..."
"I'm a man, is there a problem with that?"
“............”
Makino Chie carefully examined the person who, while not particularly skilled, was still quite capable of handling thunderbolts, and combined this with the person's cute, fair face and gentle, feminine voice.
If this were a man… haha, she would have eaten the trash can next to her right then and there.
There must be some reason why they won't say.

Lorraine asked.
"Alright, let's talk now. What did you do to get cornered in this godforsaken place by these guys, and you almost got... you know?"
"Waaah!"
"Stop crying. I told you to get to the point, why are you crying like that?"
“I’m sorry, these people came to me because my brother owes them a lot of money. I really can’t afford the amount they asked for, so they keep harassing me. Today is supposed to be the last day. They not only want to humiliate me, but they also want to sell me to those brothels. I’m very scared, but I don’t have anyone I can rely on.”
"What does your brother's debt have to do with you?"
“My brother is a scoundrel. He gambles, drinks, and whores, and owes a lot of money to people. So our house is often vandalized. He has mysteriously disappeared recently. Since these people can’t find my brother, they’ve put all the debts on my head.”
"Disappeared? Could they have been killed?"
"I don't know... Anyway, it's none of my business. It's best if that kind of person is dead."
"It seems you hate him."
“When I was very young, my father cheated on me and abandoned us. My mother raised us all by herself. It was very hard for her. But my brother was a troublemaker and caused trouble all the time. My mother cried every day. Later, she became seriously ill and was hospitalized. The exorbitant medical expenses brought our family to the brink of collapse.”
Speaking of these family stories...
Makino Chie's eyes were filled with bitter tears. She cried and continued, "I used to be the best student in school, but I had to drop out and work to make a living. But... now I realize that no matter how hard I try, our family is completely broken. My mother's illness is incurable, and we can't even pay back the money we owe the hospital."
Brother Lin, she's so pitiful.
That's just how the world is; all sorts of things happen.
Can we help her?
Are you going to pay off her debts for her?
【I……】
Wu Tina was speechless for a moment. She knew that her abilities were limited, but when she saw the girl in front of her, who was working hard for a living, crying so sadly, she wanted to do something, even if it was just to help her a little bit.
Lorraine naturally saw all of this.
Alright, since our Miss Wu Tina has spoken up, then I, the sucker, will help this poor girl out.
Brother Lin, I'm sorry...
Haha, there's nothing to apologize for. You're a kind girl, and I know that better than anyone. That bento box is the best proof of that.
Brother Lin...
Wu Tina was deeply moved.
Words failed her; she didn't know what to say. But there was always this reliable person by her side who could tolerate all her whims.
Wu Tina truly felt... very happy.
