In Like a Dragon: Ishin, once you reach chapter 4, you unlock the second house and become responsible for taking care of Haruka, an orphan who runs his family’s farming business. As part of your duty to him, you must ensure that he does not lose his home. This involves paying off his 100 Ryo debt, but the game does not provide clear instructions on how to do this.
To repay the debt, you must pay 20 Ryo at a time. The first step is to start earning money from commercial orders for crops, fish, and ready meals from the farm. Once you begin participating in this system, you will start receiving letters from a messenger indicating that you can pay the owner in Fushimi.
To pay the owner, head to the northeast corner of Fushimi, where you will find them standing in the shrine. You will also receive a kimono for Haruka to wear during this process.
It’s important to note that you do not have to rely solely on money earned from commercial orders to pay off the debt. You can also earn money by tending to the farm, cooking, fighting enemies, playing minigames, or completing Battle Dungeons. As long as you obtain the 100 Ryo needed to repay the debt, you can use any method you prefer.
Furthermore, there is no rush to pay off the debt quickly. The owner is surprisingly patient, and there is no time limit to repay the debt. So, take your time and pay it off at your own pace.
Overall, Like a Dragon: Ishin is an engaging game available on PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X, and PC. Repaying Haruka’s debt may seem confusing at first, but with this guide, you can navigate the process and continue enjoying the game.
