“Nia.”

“Yes?”

“Why were you unbothered by the fifty-million-kram cost?”

Right, I’d treated time as if it were a bigger problem than money, hadn’t I? That must have confused my brother. I couldn’t admit to him that I did in fact think it was nothing. There was no way I could tell him that I could earn that much in a few days easily.

Since we weren’t allowed to ride skiffs on the streets, we rode a Cedony carriage down to the docks where the Wingroad skiff was being stored. Neal would be allowed to ride the skiff as he pleased down there since, as it turned out, the surrounding land was owned by Cedony Trading. As in, it was their private property. They really were wealthy, weren’t they?

We’d split up into two carriages—Marju and some of his staff in one carriage, and us siblings and our attendants in the other—and ridden through the street busy with foreign tourists. That was when Neal began questioning me. Lynokis and Lynette sat opposite us. They were both very aware of how I could earn that amount of money easily.

“I don’t fully understand the value of money, you see. I’ve never handled my own cash before.”

“What? Do... Do you not go shopping?”

“If I want to buy something, I ask Lynokis to do it. I’ve never bought anything myself before.”

“Don’t you have hobbies? Have you never gone to buy anything from a general store?”

“I’m busy with recordings, so I have no time to take up hobbies. Even buying snacks takes time. I am taking the time to train my body so I don’t get sick again though. You could call that my hobby.”

My brother was rendered speechless. This must have been the moment he realized just how busy I was.

“Don’t look at me like that, brother. I am doing this partly because I want to, so it’s not so bad. Really. It’s just a matter of getting used to it. Plus, I am indebted to many people. This is to pay them back.”

Which, on that note, I wonder how the Liston finances are now. Were they as dire as before? Or had it all stabilized now? I had to make sure I didn’t create an even bigger financial burden with my interest in Wingroad. Worse came to worst, there was always the option of monster hunting. In fact, I wanted to go hunting if the opportunity presented itself.

“Now I understand why mother and father accepted your request so easily...”

What?

“The whole time I was going out and having fun, and getting engrossed in my training, you were working. They knew that, and I knew too, but... No, I just told myself I understood. I should’ve known exactly how you were spending your long holidays every time you came back home, and yet I was never considerate of that. Please forgive me for being so thoughtless.”

For a moment, I found myself lacking the appropriate words.

“I’m proud of you for feeling that way.” But he was overthinking it. Children were supposed to play around every day, get too immersed in their hobbies, and study a bit on the side.
