- Well, that makes sense. No wonder he seemed suspicious to me. Arrogance doesn't suit a person; he should dress more modestly and meditate under a waterfall for a week, - she added, kicking the pebble and dismissing the thought of that person. - I also wanted to tell you something else.

I didn't find out the details, but it's probably better than staying here. Instead of guessing how much longer you'll be stuck in this place, wouldn't it be better to move up a level? You have the skills. I really don't know how trustworthy this place is, so it's best to thoroughly investigate before agreeing to anything.

-- Haha, you're really getting straight to the point, aren't you? I'm Ayko Viresenser, and honestly, all I'm thinking about right now is work, Mr. Orros. Do you happen to need a salesperson and a part-time enchanting assistant in your workshop? I'm sure you have plenty of orders, and besides, I have experience in sales, so I hope I could increase the conversion rate between those who enter these doors and those who actually use your undoubtedly useful services. Well, as I understand it, you don't have any problems with visitors, since the city is full of guards, warriors, and travelers...
— Five rems per hour, five days a week, no bargaining – that's the first and final offer.

Nodding, the stranger hurried away without introducing herself.

- O-o-o-o, that sounds great! Can I ask for a little bit of each kind?
After a while, the couple was brought a variety of pies.
