"Are we really going to do this?", Johan asked whilst moving to sit.
"It was thanks to them forfeiting the match that we had enough money to save Auntie. If we had gotten second place we would've still been short."
"So this is just paying off debts. . . huh?"
Uyana felt the wooden katana in her palm. Gently touching the oddly dense material, "Sorry, I know you quit the game."
"More like I was only playing to help Auntie."
"Still don't want to come back?"
Johan touched his scroll of contracts. He had traveled greatly over the continent in search of anything that could help his goal. Now that it was achieved he felt there was no purpose in continuing such grueling work. Reconfirming this feeling he answered, "I'm now only here because you asked."
"Thank you."
Stretching his back Johan switched topics a little roughly, "Still! Meeting Akiol huh? Wonder how much stronger that guy got."
