But Kamiya, subconsciously, didn't really want to borrow money from Onizuka.
He hoped that his relationship with the Little Miko could remain equal, that they could be on the same footing.
Owing money to someone else didn't seem like a big deal; all that mattered was being able to pay it back as agreed upon in the future.
But with Onizuka alone...
Owing her 15 million all at once, no matter how you thought about it, their relationship couldn't come back to being equal.
To put it more bluntly—
Taking money from the Little Miko felt like... mooching off her...
However, the deed was done, and if he tried to return the 15 million to Onizuka now, he would seem very pretentious.
There was no need for that.
"Thank you, Onizuka. I'll pay you back the 15 million as soon as possible, let's write a promissory note with interest."
