Although his sister-in-law Sally had only said she could help ask, Isaac was already quite satisfied. He hadn't expected to accomplish it all in one step. As for getting his older sister involved...
'This isn't a problem for me at all,' Isaac thought. 'In a way, it's actually a good thing. After all, setting my Golden Finger aside, my older sister is a Grand Arcanist whose research abilities are no less than my own. Plus, her involvement would go a long way in diluting the prejudice associated with my identity as a Mad Witch.'
"No problem. I'll have to trouble you, then, sister-in-law. Don't worry about the research proposal; I'll provide a plan that is absolutely satisfactory. As for the exchange of benefits, feel free to negotiate openly. As a Miracle Mage, I've accumulated a fair bit over my years in the Endless Tower."
