Location- Sky Blossom City, Southern Watchʼs temporary military base.

”Mr. Cole, it is then,” I said and then wanted to leave with Anna but Cole didnʼt seem to be done yet.

”Master Wyatt, I am a big fan of your work. I heard you were a man of many talents. I hope to work with you someday.” said Cole. Ignoring impatient Annaʼs glare.

”If such an opportunity arrives, then I would be happy to work with you.” Since Cole was being carried around by Anna then he must be capable so it wouldnʼt hurt to get to know him since the Royal family and I were already tied together with our common interest, silver milk powder.

”Hahaha, it is good that you would say that Master Wyatt. I have a client who is in need of a good card creationist to help with the creation of her origin card, I donʼt know if you are interested.” It was as if Cole was waiting for me to say those words and he shamelessly proposed cooperation.

”...” Hearing Coleʼs proposal I didnʼt answer him immediately but instead turned to look at Anna who nodded, assured I said, ”I am interested, Why not? But you have to know that I will not leave the city, the client will have to come to me.” How could I say no to money? Knowing Cole, the client he proposed must be someone with deep pockets. Not to mention it was not just any card creation but origin card creation, I canʼt miss this excitement.

”Donʼt worry master Wyatt, the client will commute to your workshop. If you set a date for the meeting I will inform the client but I do hope that the meeting will be in the next three days.” Cole was being way too cooperative to my demands. Not only will the client come to me but I can chose the date and time for the meeting this felt too good to be true but since Anna vouched for him, I decided to believe him.

”I am free now, if the client is okay with it then we can get started right now,” I answered.

”Great, Let me check with the client.” saying that Cole hurriedly summoned his grimoire, moved to the side, and made a call.

”Anna, so the authorities are using the Sex workers as informants, huh.” When Anna agree to speak about this earlier, I got the answer I was searching for. The authorities are indeed using the sex workers as informants.

”Wyatt, there is more to that, you canʼt just go and decided if what the authorities are doing is good or bad—” Anna prepared to give me a long lecture on why what the authorities meaning the Royal family meaning her family was doing was a necessary evil, but I interrupted her because I have had enough of whether what the authorities were doing was good or bad, Diana and Cindyʼs debate had already wasted enough of my time, I wasnʼt willing to waste any more on it. So I said, ” Anna, I donʼt care. Times were tough after the monster war, the authorities did what they could. Let us not turn it not a debate. Not to mention judging it.”

”Okay.” hearing my words Anna sighed.

”Is this the reason why you were dodging my questions?” I asked Anna if she avoided my answering my question because she thought I would judge her and her family based on that.

”Kinda, yeah. You know Wyatt, you are the only person who makes me question my choices. And worry about things that I didnʼt use to worry about. You should take responsibility for it.” Anna answered honestly, and even poured out some of her feelings in it. But soon stopped remembering the talk she had with her crush, worrying that her words earlier could scare him away, Anna looked at his expression cautiously trying to read the information they conveyed.

”Donʼt worry Anna, I am in no place to judge anybody for what they have done, much less their ancestors. As for the responsibility, I am not ready yet, let us enjoy the little things we have right now.” I answered. I knew Annaʼs feelings for me but I was conflicted and I did not want to choose. Was I being selfish? I donʼt know what I really want. To be accurate, who I really want. And when I am able to answer this question, that was going to be one painful day.

”Okay, let us take it slow and enjoy the little things,” Anna answered, from her young loverʼs expression she could tell that he did like her but something was holding him back, this was enough for Anna to wait for him. As long as he doesnʼt say that he doesnʼt want her she would not leave his side and would continue to keep waiting.

”Okay, then. After I am done here let us go out for a dinner, there we can discuss the new business venture I am planning to start.” I said looking at Anna. Since the authorities were using the sex workers as informants, I had no choice but to seek help from Anna for the development of my new business.

”Um, okay. But this time I will choose the place.” Anna agreed and announced that she would choose the venue for our dinner date.

”...” There was a reason I didnʼt allow Anna to choose a venue, I didnʼt trust her with these kinds of things. I was worried she would choose an isolated place where she can force herself on me.

”Pretty please, I promise no funny business,” Anna begged. I decided to trust her and let her choose the venue for our dinner date, ”okay.”

”Looks like you couples are planning a dinner-date, envious. Cousin, if you need a venue I know a good place where they serve the best monster meat steak.” Cole finished explaining things to his client and returned, judging by the simile on his face it seems everything is set.
