"Hey, hey, you know the terms, right?"

　I said, glancing at Camilo. He met my gaze and nodded. It's been explained.
　That whoever wants it will come to us alone. It's a rule even the emperor of the empire has to follow.
　No, actually, I've loosened it once. When Camillo asked me to hit him with the mithril sliver. I'm sure he knows that, but there's a line of reasoning that needs to be followed.

Of course I know. I didn't ask him where he lived. ...... Or rather, he didn't tell me.

　The Marquis said, not even bothering to mend his pouting face. I'm not sure if the Marquis is underqualified or not, so maybe Camilo did it to keep him out of trouble.

But I'm asking you to cast that aside. It's the best way to get things done. That's it.

　Marius bows his head. I guess this is why he took the trouble to bring Marius along, when he could have just talked to the Marquis (and it would have been best to call me).
　It is a fact that I am weak when I am bowed to by someone I consider to be my friend.

"Hmm...

　I crossed my arms and pondered. To be honest, anything would be fine as long as it didn't affect me or my family. And Anne, if possible. I don't like the idea of a stranger or anyone else getting involved in something.
　Just as I was about to confirm this, Deanna put her hand on the desk and opened her mouth.

"Brother.

　Her gaze is intense as she stares at her brother, Marius.

"Hmm?　What's wrong?　Deanna.
So you're sure Eizo won't get into any trouble?
No. I'll see to it that he doesn't.
Okay.

　With that, she took her seat again. The others nodded their heads in agreement to what Marius had just said. The rest is up to me, I guess.

"I also have one thing to confirm.
What is it?
Your family won't get into trouble, will they?
Yeah. I can assure you of that.

　Marius looked me straight in the eye and said. If Samija doesn't interfere, then it must be true.

All right. I'll take it.
Thanks, man.
So, what do you want me to make?
Spears. Four of them.
Four spears?

　There's plenty of room in terms of numbers, but I'm not sure why we need four. But if I ask him why, I can sense that I'm going to get involved.

All right. I'll decide the shape here, okay?
"Yes. But I want all four of them to be the same shape.
You mean four of the exact same thing?
Yes.

　It's even more suspicious that they want four identical ones when they're not mass-produced, but I guess it's better not to ask. .......

I'm not going to let you down.

　I'm not sure what to make of it, but I'm sure it's a good idea.
