Xellos has returned from the Istor Academy of Magic.
　The next day, after a good night's rest at home, he came to the lord's mansion to report to the Duke of Delsacis.
　The strange thing about this lord's mansion is that on either side of the floor where guests are welcomed are the offices of the Solstair Trading Company.
　The guests of the noble class are taken to the back of the room, and most of the business discussions, mainly business deals, are conducted from the offices on either side of the room.
　Well, you can think of it as a three-way passageway, with nobles going to the center and merchants going to the back from the left and right offices. However, there are always soldiers watching the doors leading to the back, and you have to ask permission every time you want to carry documents to the Duke.
　The Duke of Delsacis knew it was a waste of time, but he couldn't think of a good way to improve the situation at the moment.
　A mage covered in black was being led by a staff member down the business negotiation corridor reserved for merchants, and was being led to the chairman of the Solistair Chamber of Commerce. It's early days, but it's the Duke of Delsacis. .......

"Your Excellency, the Duke, Lord Xellos is here to see you. May I enter?
"Come in.

　With a few simple words, permission was granted and Xellos entered the room with his staff.

"When you come through that door, refer to me as the Chairman, otherwise there will be confusion.
"I'm sorry, sir. I'll keep that in mind.
"Mm. ......
Yes, sir. ......

　When Xellos entered the room, he saw Delthasys buried under a pile of papers.
　Xelloss could not believe that Delsasis would leave so much work behind. He judged that Delsacis had been away for a while for some important reason.

"It's been a while, Mister Delsasis. Your request has been successfully completed.
"Well, I'm sorry. I'm very busy at the moment. I'm sorry for making you do this.
"It's my job, I don't mind. Anyway, ...... have you been to King's Landing?　I've got a lot of work piling up. ......
I've got a little bit of business to attend to. You can find a lot of things that you can do to make your life easier.
I'm afraid to say it's a bit of an errand. ......

　I don't know what this duke is doing behind the scenes.
　I had a vague feeling that the chore was something dangerous.

I'm not sure what he's doing behind the scenes.　I'm sure you've hired three guards to protect you, as well as Croisus and Celestina, so thank you for being so careful.
"No, it was a gamble to get the guards. I'm sure you'll be pleased to know that I'm not the only one who's had a bit of luck with this.
"...... Cocco?　I'm not sure what to do.　That demon is supposed to be relatively weak. ......
I'm not sure what to make of it, but it's a good idea.

　I'm not sure what to say.
　It's a good idea to have a good idea of what you're looking for. In fact, even Xelloss hadn't noticed it at all.
　He had never heard of the ability to transform into a higher level evolved form, and his strength was unparalleled at level 400.
　In addition, the fact that they had been fighting with Xelloss every day made their strength practically equal to that of the heroes. They possessed a large number of close combat skills, and were now unbeatable.

I'm sure you'll be able to figure out what's going on.
You're quick on the uptake. One of them is a criminal slave, who did something stupid without knowing the law, and was sold into slavery. The other one is staying with Mr. Zveit.
I heard she's a young girl. Is she all right?
She may be young, but she's strong.　She may be young, but she's strong, at least 800 level. The only thing I'm worried about is whether or not Mr. Zveit will take a chance on her.
There's a good chance you'll get beaten back. Zveit is not that stupid, he will be fine. We'll pay her as an escort.
What about the other one?
"I'll free him from slavery as a pardon. But there will be no next time. ......

　Mr. Elomra was going to be free.
　He was a bit of an idiot, but he wasn't a bad person, so that was fair enough.

And ...... here is a sketch of the other assassin who escaped.
A woman. ...... But why are there so many of them, including one of a child?　There are nearly 20 of them. ......
He's in possession of the Secret Potion of Rejuvenation. It's just a precaution, because he'll probably rejuvenate himself and show up at your place. If possible, it would be nice if you could burn him at the stake. ...... torture him thoroughly.
Why do you have such a dangerous smile on your face?　Is that the kind of person you want to get rid of?
By all means!　I'm ashamed to say this, but this is my sister. She's a pest that lives off of others. Don't try to use her, but make sure you get rid of her. She'll be dead in a few years anyway.
"...... Sister?

　Delsacis thought that Xellos' sister would be of great use to him.
　But just to be sure, it seemed like a reasonable decision. The reason for this was that she was likely to betray him easily and would cost him a lot of money.


　His behavior is too unthinking to be hired for an exorbitant amount of money, and he could easily sell our information if the payoff is even slightly in favor of the opposing side.
　The only thing I can praise him for is his resourcefulness. But in a bad way.
　There is a way to deliberately give false information, but it costs too much money to do so, and he has financial problems. There is a high probability that he will spend lavishly under the guise of necessary expenses, and Delsasis has no intention of wasting such money.
　Above all, the fact that he cannot see the value of having no remaining life span as a usable tool, and that his self-destruction is the reason for his condition, can only be described as stupidity.
　In short, it is too useless in terms of behavior, personality, and money.

I understand. So, ......, what's this fearsome picture over here?
"It's a scene from a village that was hit by fairies on the way back. Well, it's a picture to prove what the victims are going through. I used a special magician to record the scene.
What kind of evil ...... religion advocates this kind of demon?
It's like the brutality of children. Their innocence makes it easy for them to do such things.
"So they can't judge right from wrong. I see. ......　

　Delsacis immediately recognized the dangers of fairies.
　Just as children kill insects for fun, fairies kill creatures for fun. Some of them are humans.
　However, this information is also useful in another direction.
　Recently, the Four Divine Religions have been putting a lot of pressure on us, especially the Metis Holy Law Divine Kingdom. One of them is to defend the fairies and to raise the authority of the priests, which is really a headache.
　After all, the [Holy Law Kingdom of Metis] is the headquarters of the Priests, and only the Priests can use recovery magic.
　If the priests were to disappear from this country, it would be a huge setback in terms of medical care, such as the treatment of injuries. If this were to happen, we would be at a disadvantage in the event of war.
　But then the mage in front of me said something outrageous.

"Mister Delsacis, are you interested in selling recovery magic?
"What?
I'm not sure if it's a good idea, but it's a good idea. I'm not sure what to do, but I'm sure I'll be able to do it. It's a good idea to have a good idea of what you're looking for.
I'm not sure what to make of that.　I'm not sure what to do. Well, we can reduce their power, but .......
I'm sure you'll be able to figure out what to do.　You don't need to rely only on priests. I'm sure you'll be able to figure out what's going on.
"I see. ...... It's worth an experiment. You can claim that your recovery magic is the result of magic research even if it is discovered. But I don't think that's going to convince them.
"Why don't we just sell it in neighboring countries?　If the recovery magic is available in several countries at the same time, there is a high possibility that people will think that every country has been developing recovery magic.　It is a problem that only priests can heal the wounded. If the mercenaries can also use recovery magic, the rate of wear and tear will be reduced.
There is a doctor, though. There are also doctors, but they are both in short supply. ....... Hmm, that's something to think about. Then we'll have to work with our allies nearby.
"I'm not going to ask you about that. I'd rather just say what's on my mind.
You've already interfered in our internal affairs. ......?　Sometimes, is that recovery magic modified by Lord Xelloss?

　The old man pondered a bit.
　I have a lot of scrolls of normal recovery magic. The reason is because he sold them at a discount to beginners during the time of Sword and Sorcery, but he seldom sold the improved version.
　However, I'm willing to sell a degraded version with less magic effects than the improved version.
　In the first place, there seemed no need to be so reserved when dealing with a nation that was willing to defend a nasty race of fairies. But there was also the problem of handing over everything.

Fortunately, there are recovery spells ranging from beginner to intermediate, but how about if other countries leave the unimproved ones in diplomatic transactions and I sell the improved ones here?　Well, it's just a little more effective than the regular one.
I see, scrolls of restorative magic are rarely found in ruins, but if the same or a more effective version of it appears, the Metis Holy Law God Kingdom will lose its advantage. If the effect is different, you can't complain.
　I'm not sure what to make of it.
Then don't be shy: ......
No, not at all. But it's not a ...... improvement or a finished product, is it?　You mean you're leaving room for the mages to improve it?
I'm not sure that the other mages will grow with it, even if they sell the finished product. It's a good idea to have a good idea of what you're looking for.
"It's not good if you use it wrong. It's their way of robbing you of your hard-earned money. ...... Now, what to do?

I'm not sure if this is a good idea, but I think it's a good idea. They are claiming that only priests can use sacred magic, but the story changes when it is spread that mages have succeeded in creating it.
　The fact that mages can heal injuries will cause a crack in the faith and the possibility of a decrease in the number of believers will increase.
　It's easy to change the settings of spells and other things, so even if someone comes to you with a complaint, you can just say that it's the result of long research. In fact, the surrounding countries hate the [Metis Holy Law God State], so Delsacis began to construct a plan that they would be happy to make it powerful.
　The problem for the small country is not only the priests who are sent, but also the brave men who come on a whim and do too many things.
　Some of them are decent, but some of them are overzealous. However, their strength is not to be scoffed at, and a single one of them has kicked the knights of a small country to the curb.
　Well, the knights of this world with an average level of 300 are no match for a hero with a level of 500.


　If you have three of them, you can easily defeat a division. It is said that brave men grow faster due to compensation effects, and at the same time, they become stronger to some extent due to compensation for physical enhancement. Such people appear in the border towns and do all sorts of bad things.
　While talking about this, Xelloss left the scroll on the table.

"They're a troublesome lot, aren't they?
In particular, five of them, Himejima, Sasaki, Kawamoto, Iwata, and Yasaka, have been favored as the most powerful. It's a good idea to have a good idea of what's going on in your life.

　Xellos narrowed his eyes when he heard the Japanese name, which seemed strange in another world.

I wish I could meet him. I'd love to meet him if I could.
I'd like to meet him if I could." "...... You've got some dangerous eyes. What are you going to do with him?
Well, doesn't it depend on the person?　If they come to your country and cause trouble, you can't defend them.
I hope he doesn't come to this country. Well, I've got to get back to work. I'm sorry, but I'm going to have to end this conversation now.
I'm sorry to bother you for so long.
No, I've already prepared the ...... reward. I'll let the receptionist know you're here.
Well, that's it for today.
Well, get some rest.

　After Xellos left the room, Delsacis looked at the objects on the table and crossed his arms thoughtfully.

I'm not sure what I'm going to do with it. ....... I'm not sure what to do with it, but I think it's a good idea to give it a try. If we do it based on that plan, it will be a big blow. Hmmm ...... when to use your cards, the sooner the better.

　With the same dangerous smile on his face as Xellos, Delsacis went back to work.
　It's a good thing that you're not the only one who can't wait to get back to work.
　A good man will do his best for his woman.

　◇ ◇ ◇ ◇ ◇ ◇.

"...... Uncle. Is this ...... really paying for one person?
"For real?　What's wrong with that?
I've got ...... a bag full of gold ......... to play with for a while.
That is, if you don't waste any money. Well, I suppose that's to be expected when you're escorting a member of the duke's family, isn't it?

　After returning from the lord's mansion, the old man went to the orphanage where Iris was staying and handed over the reward.
　Iris takes her share of the reward, opens the leather bag and is surprised at the amount.
　2.5 million gol per person. An ordinary mercenary could buy a new set of cheap equipment made by a master craftsman.

"Have Janae and Lena come back yet? What should we do with the reward?
"I'm afraid Uncle ...... is keeping it. I'm afraid ......
Okay, but make sure you bring him back later, okay?　If you don't clarify the money issue, it's going to be tricky later on. ...... kuku kuku.

　This is a great way to make sure you are getting the most out of your money.
　In the event that you have any questions regarding where and how to use the internet, you can call us at the web site.

You can enhance my equipment, uncle?
"Huh, huh ......?　Equipment?　I can, but do you have the materials?
Well, I have some materials from Sword and Sorcery .......
It depends on what it is. I'm not sure if it's a good idea, but it's a good idea.　You can enhance it to a certain extent depending on the material, but I want you to tell me what kind of enhancement you want.
I'd like to equip an armor system like my uncle's ...... experiment. ....... I'm not sure if you've seen this before, but I'm sure you've seen it before.

　In other words, it seems that he wants to change his style to an all-around type just like Xellos, a form that can handle a variety of battle situations.
　But that's not something you can master with half-hearted determination. To be on par with Zeroth, who was a top player, will require a great deal of time.
Unlike [Sword and Sorcery], developing a skill into a vocational skill is a process of continuous training and experiencing actual battles over and over again.
　To put it simply, it is not possible unless you keep fighting hard.

It's a little problematic to change your current style, isn't it?　You can use hand armor, breath plates, and leg armor ...... to make it more rugged.　And in close combat, if you're not used to killing, self-defense alone is not enough.
Ugh......, but I'm only weak as it is, and I need skills to defend myself!　That's why I'm going to train you in actual combat.
I think it's a good trend, but can you dismantle ...... it?　If you don't dismantle it, you'll throw up, okay?
"Oh, I can't ....... I don't think I'm going to get used to it... indeed. ......?
Well, that's good. If you're looking to enhance your equipment, are you using your current equipment as a base?　I'm not going to change the design.


Yeah. Robes, boots, and gloves are also available at .......

　I don't know what kind of materials are used in Iris's equipment, as it was made by a middle-manufacturer. In addition, as far as I can see, they are all made of textile materials.
　This kind of equipment is generally reinforced with a coating, and then armor and other equipment is attached on top of it.
　Mages have lower physical abilities than warriors, and wearing such equipment may inhibit their movement. It was more efficient to focus on protecting the vital points.
　As she didn't have any warrior skills, armor was too heavy for her to use.

It is possible to mitigate attacks of level 500 or so, but in the case of an opponent who possessed a higher level of skill, it would be a match between the individual's skill correction and defense. I'm sure you'll be able to figure out what you need to do.
What?　I'm not sure what to do.　Why?
Armor equipment is heavy. It's a good idea to have a good idea of what you're looking for.

　In the back of his mind, Iris pictured herself and the chickens in street clothes from a certain anime practicing kata side by side.
　The scene was both funny and pathetic, and Iris felt a little embarrassed.
　But the cocksuckers at Zeroth's place are so strong that they are no match for any ordinary opponent.

I'm a little ashamed of ......... myself.
It's just a matter of time until you get better equipment. It's a good idea to get a warrior skill and train it so that you can use your armor and other equipment more easily. Leveling up will also increase your physical abilities.
I'm not sure what to do, but I'm going to do it. I'm scared, but I don't want to die. ......

　The battle with the Fairy Rose seems to have made Iris aware of the danger to her life.
　There are two choices: take a moment of shame in order to train, or give up and go ahead with a normal mage job.
　Skills are essential for protection, but in order to acquire them, one must experience a variety of professions. Fortunately, Kokko and his friends have three professions: warrior, swordsman, and assassin.

"Kokko is going to be my master?　Can't you be my uncle?
"I have to mow the grass now. I was going to ask the orphans to cut the weeds, but there aren't many orphans in the old town. The children at the orphanage go out to pick up trash, and ...... collecting empty bottles seems to be more profitable.
"Why don't you switch to the production side, Uncle?　I'm sure it would be quite prosperous.
I'm sure you'll have a great time. How long do you think you've been making unbelievable equipment?　You can't make normal equipment anymore.
　Even iron equipment has a huge compensation effect.　You'll die of overwork, seriously. ......

　I'm not sure if you've seen this before, but I'm sure you've.
It's a good idea to have a good idea of what you're doing.
　In fact, it is more difficult to create equipment that has no effect.

It looks like you've been working out every day, Kaede.　This morning, he was doing kumite and bare hands with the cocks.
You're just a kid, Kaede!　I'm old enough to know better!
"・・・・・・・・・

　It's a good idea to have a good idea of what you're looking for.

It's a good idea to have a good idea of what you're looking for. Especially ...... no, it's nothing.
You're being rude to a lady.

　I'm not sure if you've seen this before, but I'm sure you have.
　Especially in the chest area. .......
　I'm not sure what to make of it, but I'm sure it's a good idea. Iris was furious.

　I'm not sure what to say.

　Three days later, the old man was mowing the grass, wearing a straw hat and a hand towel around his neck.
　The roots were deeper than I imagined, and I needed a certain amount of strength to pull them out, and my back hurt from sitting in the middle for a long time.
　In any case, the weed was so fertile that it could be called a grass pile.
　The fine grasses were cut with the all-purpose sickle, and the rest was pulled out by hand, and the process was repeated endlessly. With the help of the kids, the efficiency of the work has improved, but still a third of the weeds remain.
　The field where the vegetables were planted was also covered with weeds, but thanks to the clumsy work of the coccoons, we were fortunate that the weeds did not multiply too much.
　When I get bored, I harvest the vegetables, pickle the root vegetables, and dry the soybeans in the sun.

"Hello, Mr. Xellos.
Mr. Rousselis, how can I help you?
No, I just wanted to thank you for the eggs you gave me this morning. I was in the middle of prayer this morning, so I'm sorry I didn't get a chance to thank you.
"No, no, no. You're my neighbors. Besides, I can't eat it all by myself.
We had a little bit too much, so I shared it with my neighbors and they were very happy. Thank you very much.
"That's great. It saves us from wasting eggs.
By the way, ......



　Luceris looked towards the henhouse and asked a slightly confused question.

What the hell are you doing here, Iris?　Is this some kind of dance?
I'm just training for my fighting skills. It's called kata practice, and it's where your body learns to perform kata for various situations on the fly. It looks like a weird dance, though. ......

　For the past three days, Iris has been practicing kata with Kokko at the old man's house.
　However, perhaps because she has always been an indoor person, her movements don't look like she's practicing kata in a flattering way.
　To anyone's eyes, they look like they are dancing a strange dance and then getting tangled up and falling down repeatedly.
　Incidentally, the kata rehearsal was a kind of taijiquan, and the movements were too lean for the amateur Iris to perform.
　Although the movements were slow, it was surprisingly difficult to adjust the force applied to the body, shift the center of gravity, and balance the posture.

I'm not sure what to make of it.　I've never seen them before. I think it looks similar to Kaede's outfit. ......
It's for fighters only. I'm not sure what to make of that. He wants to become stronger.

　By the way, since it is a robe, it has the effect of making it easier to learn fighting skills.
　It has no defense and no physical correction effect.

I'm not sure if it's a good idea for a girl like Iris to be training to be strong.　She's supposed to be a mage, not Kaede. I'm not sure if she needs any fighting skills.
I'm not sure what to do, but I'm sure it's a good idea. In the event that you've got a lot of money, you'll be able to use it for a lot of things.
Can't she just quit being a mercenary and live a normal life?　I don't think she's suited for rough work.
She wants to go to the dungeon. She's probably training to strengthen her body for that. She's working hard for her dream. No, no, it's good to be young. ......

　I'm not sure what to make of it, but I think it's a good idea.
　They were Kaede, Angel, Johnny, Rady, and Kai, the five members of the orphanage.

"Okay, kata practice is over.
The next step is Kumite. ----
I'll show you how to do it with no hands!　I aim to be the strongest warrior I can be!
Food tastes better after a hard day's work... Why don't we go pick up trash this afternoon?　We'll make some money.
Meat is great after a workout. ....... I'm going to be a meat hunter!
「「「「 And I'm going to conquer dungeons, save money, and live a self-defeating life!　」」」」
I will make my mark on this world!　I will make a name for myself in this world!
"・・・・・・・・・・・・

　Children are loyal to their desires. And Kaede was a bloody shura.
　It's a good thing that you are positive.
　It's good that they are positive, but their dreams are too childlike.
　And then, after Iris, the five of them begin to engage in kumite and randori with the Kokkos with weapons and bare hands.

　---Bish!　Gun!　Boom!

　I'm not sure if this is a good idea or not.

"...... When did those kids get so strong ....... I don't think they're children. I think they could kill an adult in an instant.
"Whatever their dreams are, at least they're not going down the wrong path. They're not causing any trouble for anyone around them. ....... Huh. .........
"So you stopped being a thief?　I used to say, 'Give me some meat.' ......
"I guess I don't need to be a thief anymore since I have more money to buy and sell medicinal herbs. Thanks to Mr. Xellos .........

　For Rousselis, the racketeering that the children used to do was an embarrassing story.
　These days, she doesn't do it and is trying to gain strength for her dreams.
　The problem is that these kids are getting scary strong. They haven't been training with just any 200+ level cockerels. Their combat skills have increased to an insane degree.
　By fighting strong opponents, their skills have been trained and their compensation effects have been increased (the compensation effect of fighting high level monsters is higher than that of fighting low level monsters), and yet their level is still in the single digits. They are terrifying children.

Hmmm... But if their skills are that high, it's not so easy to raise their rank (level). We need to deal with strong demons. ...... Shall we let them hunt somewhere?
I'm not sure what to say.　I'm not sure what to do.　That's dangerous. ......
I'm not sure what to make of it, but I'm sure it's worth it.　I think it's better to train them to be able to stand on their own now, don't you?



　Even though they look young, the children at the orphanage are one year younger than Iris, and are usually at the age when they are starting to learn about society by helping out at work.
　The reason why they look so young is because the living conditions at the orphanage were not good, and they did not have access to nutritious food. Recently, however, his living conditions have improved, and he seems to have grown a little taller.
　I might be able to be a hunter, if not a mercenary.

It takes experience to go out into the world. They can make their own simple restorative and wound medicines, and they're pretty good at it. It's a good idea for you to develop your skills in order to protect yourself, and it's not like you're going to stay like this forever. ......
I'm sure you'll be able to figure it out. But I don't want them to do anything dangerous. If that happens, ......
I'm training them not to do that. As long as they say they're going to the dungeon eventually, they're definitely going. Because they are true to their desires. ......
Hi, I can't deny that. ......

　As you are cutting the grass and talking about this, Iris seems to finally enter the kumite.
　The opponent is a black-headed cock. It's one of the few chickens that have the skill of [teaching].
　He's so good at taking care of them that if Iris's kata is even slightly off, he'll carefully teach her and correct it.
　And .......

"Kyabii -------?

　Iris is thrown easily into the air.
　Although Iris is higher in level, Koko is many times stronger in close combat.

I'm not a fan. You'll die in a real fight like this.
"Hey, Master!　I was so scared!
The way of war is not learned in a day. It's important to train every day.　You can't get stronger just by whining.
"Ugh. ...... Master is strict.

　She was a b*tc*. He was the type of senior who could be counted on to take care of you in club activities.
　In the past three days, he was like a gentle but strict older sister, carefully guiding Iris, who continued to whine. That's why Iris has been working hard to acquire and strengthen her skills.

I'm not sure what's going on here, but I'm curious as to why people are able to communicate with each other.　I'm curious. ......
I'm sure you'll agree that it's a great idea.　It's a great way to learn about the world.
...... My cockerel is more human than human, isn't he?　I'm sure you'll agree that it's a great idea.

　I was surprised to learn that Luceris had been training with children in combat. And then there was the cockerel who was teaching them how to fight.
　That cockerel would become the fourth named monster.
　Meikei realized that she had been given a name, and bowed her head with her wings folded in front of her.
　Perhaps it was his imagination, but the old man felt as if Meikei's strength had increased slightly.

"Lou!　You're here.
"Oh, Janae. You're late, aren't you?

　He heard a voice behind him calling for Luceris, and when he turned around, he saw Jarnay and the others.
　They seemed to have finally returned by boat and looked somewhat tired.

What's wrong?　Why ...... this is still early ....... And!　Why is there an old man here?
"That's because he came blasting down the street. You were slow, weren't you, Mr. Jarnay?
You know what I mean.　The ship was late because of the wind direction, and Lena's guy was .......
I didn't need to tell you that. It got out of control. ...... Thank you for your time.

　The old man saluted. I fully understood what Jahné had gone through.

Oh, and of all the ...... things to do, he finally tried to hurt a little kid!
And then Ukay and the others sanctioned him and dragged him away in a mattress. ....... Really, thanks for your help. This will be the reward for your request. I've already given it to Mr. Iris, so please accept it.
"Ah ...... now you can rest ....... Isn't this ...... too much?

　The moment Jahné checked the reward he received, he was astonished.
　Her hands were shaking as she saw the reward, which was much higher than any other request she had received.
　It's a great way to make sure you're getting the most out of your money.

"But ...... should I give Rena-san the reward ......?
"Oh, ...... definitely don't take the boys to the inn. Is this what you call a b*tc*?
"...... Come on?　I'm not sure if I'm a b*tc* or a b*tc*ette. Maybe it's better to keep her wrapped up like this .......
You're going to give me a reward ......?　I'm sure it will be gone in three days.



　Normally, the amount of money would not be enough to spend in three days, but in Rena's case, it was different.
　The old man decided to ignore what the wrapped up Rena was trying to say.

"Luceris, let's let them rest at the orphanage. I think they're tired from the long journey. On another note, ......
"Yes, of course. Janae, do you want to stay at the orphanage today?　It must be hard to find a place to stay.
Please. ....... I don't have the energy to find a place to stay because of Lena. ......
You're really tired, aren't you? Please accept Lena's reward as well. As you can see, I also have .........

　Lena was glaring at me.
　And she was snorting in vain. She's motivated in a different way.
