I still don't believe they only gave her ~$2,500 for all the lives she saved. Their prince is a cheapskate.

I really like the approach to healing magic and the longevity being tied to magical power simply. She's nice and reasonable as well, its fun.

She really does like to make assumptions

The prince actually offered her the three ancient coins, each worth a fortune. She rejected them. She almost rejected the very modest compensation she was given instead. She's always bowing down and being super humble, so I'd say the prince is merely responding to her own actions and wishes. She ought to realise she's all alone in an alien world, and nobody there is really on her side, all of them are either cordially neutral (the innkeeper woman), seeking to benefit from her magic genius (all the knights and the prince), or exploitative/hostile (those who summoned her through human sacrifice). Unfortunately her yamato nadeshiko personality makes her rely on those strangers' arbitrary or questionable goodwill.

She's adorable. Watching her is like taking a trip with a five year old. Everything is new and amazing. "Neat, a stick! Oh, look, a bug!"

On the other hand, she's staying at a good hotel for only thirty bucks per night, with meals included. If we compare how much that would cost nowadays, two and a half month's stay, plus food, is pretty decent wages. While I am quite aware that a medieval economy is considerably flatter than a contemporary one, equating one bronze coin to a hundred yen isn't really a fair comparison for prices and wages. I'm now wondering if the author is deliberately using this economic flattening, or if this is more of the usual, "Screw the maths, let's get to killing some monsters," that is typical of economics in an isekai manga. My guess is that we've collectively put way, way, way more thought into this than the author ever did.
