🍁Nine Ancient Obelisks

- So, Jack. Regarding the questions and answers...

Let's start with mine.

"- Where did you grow up, and how did you learn to talk?" Okay, let's consider this as 2 questions.
Answer 1: "Under the house where you bought me." Okay.
Answer 2: "Magic, baby." Well... That's not an answer. I already see that magic is involved. I'm interested in the details. So, it doesn't count.

"- And how old are you? Or how many days? How quickly do you mushrooms grow?"
Answer: "Well, a few minutes – from the moment you gave me a name, you can consider that as my birth." Okay, we'll count it.

"- So, tell me, how much time has passed from the moment you were planted in the garden (or however you mushrooms are grown) to the moment of your 'birth'?"
Answer: "I matured for two or three weeks, and then I was kidnapped, thrown on a display, and a price tag was put on me." Okay.

"- Tell me what you know about Asuguh and Shingen in particular."
Answer: "Why are you asking me these questions?" Hmm... that's not an answer!

Total: 3 questions.

Now, your questions.

"- So, would you like to be called Jack?" Question? Question!
And I answered it: "No one asked me when they gave me a name. I don't feel any discomfort from it."

"- Where is my gift?" Question? Question!
And I also answered it: "A gift, you say? I don't have a gift yet. You are a magical being, since you were taught to speak with magic. So, gifts should be magical too. And I still have a lot to learn in mastering magic. So, if you help me in this difficult task, I'll give you a gift. You seem to have some experience in mastering magic."

"- 25 rem... Is that all my life is worth?"
And I'll answer this question right now.
In that store, 25 rem could buy and eat two cream pies, and there would still be enough left for a pumpkin. But what good are you? All I hear is whining. So, prove that your life is worth more than two pies and one pumpkin...

Well, that's it. We can say we're even. Oh yes, and you owe me 12.5 rem, buddy," added Erika, with a slight smirk.

- What do you think? - The mushroom puffed up. - Let me put you in a bag and run around the city all day, and then you can tell me how you feel.

Well... I might put you in my pocket next time. Would that be more convenient for you? Or where do you suggest I carry you?
