âThank you for your effort.â
âYeah, youâve had a hard time too.â
Immediately after returning to the inn, the silver-haired woman and the woman in the maroon robe sat down, feeling a little mentally exhausted.
âBy the way, wasnât that a bit excessive? Bidding 2000 talets. Was that thing valuable enough to invest that amount?â
âHeheheâŚthatâs right, if you look at the value of that thingâŚit was definitely overkill.â
âYes?â
The silver-haired woman showed a slightly surprised expression at the unexpected words
Looking at her, the woman in the maroon robe said with an intriguing smile.
âBut, even so, I think it was worth it to spend the 2000 talets.â
âThatâŚwhat does that mean?â
âThat man called Bahamut. It wasnât a bad thing to spend that amount of money to get to know that person.â
At that, the silver-haired woman showed a strange expression, and the woman in the maroon robe calmly explained to her with a kind smile.
âIn general, if people are caught up in excessive greed, it is easy for them to run out of control. Sometimes you forget what is more important and end up overdoing it.â
With those words, the woman in the maroon robe slowly looked at the ambergris in her hand.
It was definitely something with an enormous value, and it was a rare item that couldnât be bought with money even if one wanted to.
But, thatâs why this kind of thing was dangerous. It fueled the desire of a person and made it easy to for them to forget what was important.
AndâŚthe woman in the maroon robe had seen many people in her life who were ruined by such desires.
âIn that respectâŚthat man is a great person. No matter how much he desired the item, he knew exactly when to apply the brakes without violating the principles he has set for himself. It is a rare and wonderful quality that is difficult for someone born and raised in a wealthy merchant family to have.â
âI seeâŚafter hearing it, I also think heâs a pretty interesting person.â
âYesâŚthatâs right. He is a wonderful and unique human being. To the point it make me greedyâŚâ
After evaluating the man named Bahamut, the woman in the maroon robe spoke again in a different atmosphere than before.
âBy the way, tomorrow is finally the day.â
âYes, it will be our last day here. AndâŚâ
With those words, the silver-haired womanâs eyes began to shine with excitement.
Looking at her expression, the woman in the maroon robe also nodded slowly and said, âMake sure there is no mistake. Because doing something clumsily is worse than not doing it at all.â
âYes, I will keep that in mind.â
The silver-haired woman obediently nodded her head.

âHaahhm⌠â
Bahamut, who was sitting on the bed, let out a faint sigh, as a light shadow of concern fell over his face.
âUmmâŚyouâŚwhat are you worried about?â
Beside him, Bertina asked cautiously, her captivating figure covered only by the blanket.
âHmm…itâsâŚâ
Regarding the inquiry, Bahamut thought for a moment about whether to speak, but then slowly shook his head and said, âNo⌠itâs nothing important. I just thought about something a bit ridiculous.â
ââŚsomething ridiculous?â
At Bahamutâs words, Bertina slowly lifted her upped body and sat up on the bed.
At the same time, her nake*d frame, covered by the blanket, was exposed. Her beautiful alluring form was illuminated by the moonlight coming through the open window.
Even though he was beset with worries, Bahamut was still briefly distracted by the wonderful sight. Soon after, he put off those feelings and showed a light smile.
âItâs fine. Itâs just⌠just a minor concern.â
âYouâŚâ
Bertina looked at Bahamutâs face, who was trying to avoid answering, with a serious expression.
Bahamut felt a bit embarrassed by her gaze, which was a little different from what he expected.
And, while looking at her beloved, Bertina said in a calm yet clear voice, âDidnât youâŚask me the other day, that do I trust you? That no matter what happensâŚI have to trust you, who is my master. AndâŚI answered that I trust you.â
âI didâŚyes I didâŚâ
Bahamut agreed with Bertinaâs words.
