The deal is sealed.
Our mission in the Central Plains is complete.
Honestly, I expected it to take longer, but here we are. Well… if I'm to be honest, it did take a long time, but that's mostly due to the time we spent traveling.
I suppose it is true what they say:
'To spend more time sharpening the axe before cutting the tree is better than to spend more time cutting a tree than sharpening the axe.' I smile to myself as I lie on my bed, staring at the ceiling.
If we didn't spend so long on the journey, we wouldn't have made so much progress in terms of negotiations.
'The three Special Resource Points we discovered in No Man's Land, alongside the Magivores I obtained along the journey have been really helpful.' My grin becomes broader as I imagine just how stunned the Emperor will be once he learns of my exploits.
Naturally, I don't particularly care about his opinion. But he is still my boss, and I require him to complete this Trial Scenario.
Speaking of completion…
