“Thank you for your effort.”
“Yeah, you’ve had a hard time too.”
Immediately after returning to the inn, the silver-haired woman and the woman in the maroon robe sat down, feeling a little mentally exhausted.
“By the way, wasn’t that a bit excessive? Bidding 2000 talets. Was that thing valuable enough to invest that amount?”
“Hehehe…that’s right, if you look at the value of that thing…it was definitely overkill.”
“Yes?”
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.
“But, even so, I think it was worth it to spend the 2000 talets.”
“That…what does that mean?”
“That man called Bahamut. It wasn’t a bad thing to spend that amount of money to get to know that person.”
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.
“In 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.”
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 couldn’t be bought with money even if one wanted to.
But, that’s 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.
And…the woman in the maroon robe had seen many people in her life who were ruined by such desires.
“In that respect…that 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.”
“I see…after hearing it, I also think he’s a pretty interesting person.”
“Yes…that’s right. He is a wonderful and unique human being. To the point it make me greedy…”
After evaluating the man named Bahamut, the woman in the maroon robe spoke again in a different atmosphere than before.
“By the way, tomorrow is finally the day.”
“Yes, it will be our last day here. And…”
With those words, the silver-haired woman’s eyes began to shine with excitement.
Looking at her expression, the woman in the maroon robe also nodded slowly and said, “Make sure there is no mistake. Because doing something clumsily is worse than not doing it at all.”
“Yes, I will keep that in mind.”
The silver-haired woman obediently nodded her head.

“Haahhm… ”
Bahamut, who was sitting on the bed, let out a faint sigh, as a light shadow of concern fell over his face.
“Umm…you…what are you worried about?”
Beside him, Bertina asked cautiously, her captivating figure covered only by the blanket.
“Hmm…it’s…”
Regarding the inquiry, Bahamut thought for a moment about whether to speak, but then slowly shook his head and said, “No… it’s nothing important. I just thought about something a bit ridiculous.”
“…something ridiculous?”
At Bahamut’s 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.
“It’s fine. It’s just… just a minor concern.”
“You…”
Bertina looked at Bahamut’s 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, “Didn’t you…ask me the other day, that do I trust you? That no matter what happens…I have to trust you, who is my master. And…I answered that I trust you.”
“I did…yes I did…”
Bahamut agreed with Bertina’s words.
