The fish danced through the air and deposited a puddle on top of the levee. Afterwards, we began to pick out the fish that would sell well.

“One, two, three... Yeah, you caught a ton!”

I wasn’t sure where she’d been keeping that abacus, but she was using it to calculate approximately how much we’d get for the fish we’d caught.

“This is just my guess, but with this many fish, you can probably get about four thousand cols.”

I silently gasped. Well, I didn’t expect this. Four thousand cols is about five days’ worth of what manual laborers make. With the way we live in the underground, that’s probably enough for a month of food.

“Wait here a sec! I’m gonna go bargain with them for a bit, okay?” Daytona clenched her hand into a tight fist, then disappeared into an unfamiliar building carrying the bag of fish.

Ten minutes later, she came back from the negotiations, grinning. It seemed like everything had gone well. She quickly hurried back with the brightest smile I’d seen on her face today.

“Phew, I really have talent as a merchant. So without further ado, here’s your earnings!” Daytona handed me a bag, and in it was a little more money than I’d expected.

“Thanks,” I said. “I really appreciate this, but you can just give me half.” I gave back what looked like half of the money to Daytona. I knew that accepting her goodwill and taking all of it would have been the smart thing to do, but unfortunately, I wasn’t the type of person who could live that shrewdly. I really didn’t want to live my life indebted to others.

“But in return, bring me along for the next job, okay?” I added.

She gasped, and seemed to grasp what I was getting at. She exhaled and tapped her fist to her chest, grinning from ear to ear.

“You got it! I’m gonna make you rich!”

Rich, huh? It didn’t sound possible to me, but then again, I’d been able to earn all this money in little more than an hour. If I kept this up, I could probably improve our quality of life. And maybe this was all a part of her plan—maybe she was trying to push me out of my life of crime by giving me work.

“Heh heh. I’m lookin’ forward to hangin’ out with you again!”

Maybe I was overthinking it, but her innocent expression kinda made it harder to guess what she was scheming. Either way, though, that was how I started working with Daytona.

◇

Two weeks had passed since we’d started working together. Though we still periodically sold fish, we didn’t do that as frequently. I’d been advised that if we made too much money off of it, the fishing industry would sit up and take notice, and not in a good way.

You gotta blend in and play the game. You can’t keep winnin’ if you wanna have others play ball with you... Or so she’d said. It was one of her philosophies as a merchant, and it was incredibly on brand for her, as the daughter of a big-shot merchant.
