Scene 16

Thanks to you two, I've managed to fill some of the gaps in my intel!

I think I owe you a little extra as thanks.

Eh? I thought you were all about earning money, not giving it away...

This isn't one of those loans, is it? Or some shady way to get us in your pocket?

Now now, that's not very nice! I always trade info for fair prices, whether that be buying or selling.

Either way, I'll make a killing when the game's actually out...

Hehehe...

Okay, you're absolutely planning something.

Nyahaha! It's nothing like that—trust me!

Alright—whatever you say.

Speaking of plans, why don't we keep in touch?

Add me as a friend now, and you won't have to pay for the privilege later on.

I'll probably need to hire some extra hands in the near future...

That already sounds like trouble... but your intel will come in handy, so...

Then we have ourselves a deal! I promise you won't regret it!

You better make sure I don't!

Well, with that out of the way, let's meet up again at the main entrance.

Huh?

For your next assignment, of course. We made a deal, remember?

Already?!

Yeah, already! The world of intel never sleeps.

The next one's even tougher, too. Almost nobody's been able to beat it.

Just a handful of really strong players.

All right, all right, you made your point! My sword arm's getting twitchy just thinking about it.

Hehe, and that's what makes you the ideal mercenary!

Catch you later!

While she is kinda shady, you can't help but like her...

Okay, let's make whatever preparations we need to and then meet at the teleport gate. Later!
