"There's no need to be so formal, I don't accept payment for nothing."
Though Kamiyagawa was short on cash and fond of money, he couldn't bring himself to take the exorcism fee for nothing.
At most, what was his situation—would it allow him to ask for reimbursement for the round-trip train fare?
Oh, and perhaps he could reasonably ask for a bit more for his lost time.
That would be fair.
"Uh... ok, at any rate, I appreciate you coming, Kamiya-kun."
Seeing Kamiyagawa's refusal, the preoccupied Mr. Nagatomo didn't insist further.
Actually, it was somewhat apparent that his polite words carried a slight, unconscious sense of distrust.
This distrust stemmed from Kamiyagawa's appearance and age.
It was hard for a normal person to fully trust an exorcist who looked like a high school student on their first meeting.
