After Dungeon Stampede
At 10 in the morning.
The death of the Prime Minister. Despite us moving around the city late at night, we never saw a single member of the Self-Defense Forces. The reason was the absence of orders for deployment, which must have made the Self-Defense Force members quite anxious.
And then, the next morning. Finally, units were sent from the bases in Matsudo and Noda in Chiba to the city, and reports of monster extermination and life-saving efforts were being broadcast.
Also, Ruu's dad had a fall and hit his head last night, so Ruu's mom tried to make a reservation at the hospital just to be sure. However, the phone lines have been jammed, and she couldn't get through at all since the morning.
"What should we do, dear?"
"Yeah, let's stay still for a while and rest. If we don't move, things shouldn't get worse."
Yeah, Ruu's dad. Being a judge, he remains calm even with a serious injury. Since the situation here seems relatively stable for now, I went to check on Nina-san, who hasn't come out of Ruu's room yet.
"Good morning, Nina-san. Are you okay?"
"..!"
The calm and always composed Nina-san was now shivering with a blanket over her head. Serai-san, sitting on a chair beside her, watched Nina-san with a concerned expression.
"I haven't talked to Nina-san about this before, but I've also made mistakes in the past with stocks and FX. So, I understand the pain of losing assets in an instant. Besides, even if stocks crash badly, they often recover in 2 or 3 years. So, don't get too down"
"(I got margin-called! I'm margin-called! Ughhh!!!)"
Oh dear. Nina-san seems to have used a considerable amount of leverage in her trades.
Turning to Serai-san, he shook his head helplessly as if to say, "I give up." Well, if monsters were to attack in this state, I couldn't just leave her like this.
Alright in that case, it's time for some drastic measures, an emergency intervention.
I briskly lifted the blanket on Nina-san's bed, enveloped her tear-soaked and distorted face with both hands and kissed her lips.
"Mmm, mmm! Ugh!"
I sealed Nina's attempts to resist and unleashed the "[Zero-Distance Heart-throb Heat Vision Beam]" once again.
(Go! Heart-throb Heat Vision Beam!!)
With the effect of my skill [Enchant], I forcibly shifted Nina's mental damage from the market's major crash towards a positive direction.
"Calm down Listen carefully. You're okay, Nina-san. You're not alone. Ruu is here, and so is Serai-san. Most importantly, I'm here to protect you from anything unpleasant!"
"(Sniff) R-really? (Sniff)"
"Yeah, it's true. You're younger and smarter than me. Experiencing this big market crash now is actually fortunate. Through this experience, you'll learn and avoid losing even more assets in the future."
"I-is that so?"
"Yeah, so don't worry about anything."
"H-here Ugh, here I"
"Don't be sad anymore. Sleep peacefully"
"(Yawn sleepy)"
With the maximum effect of the skill [Enchant], and after comforting her, Nina-san finally fell into a peaceful sleep.
Feeling satisfied with the successful outcome, as I turned around, I noticed Serai-san staring at me with wide, suspicious eyes, saying, "What did you just do!?" No need to worry; I've never used the Heart-throb Heat Vision Beam on Serai-san.
