"Rosalina. If there's nothing you're going to tell me, is it okay if I hang up?"

Rok Soo asked with a head tilt before seeing the other face palmed with a sigh.

「So, when the three of you said that you were going to procure magic stones, This is what you mean?」

Both Rok Soo and Raon started to chuckle. Along with Cale who was planning this with them beforehand, that makes the said three.

"Yes, aren't there a lot?"

"Smart Rosaly- Rosalina! We have a ton of magic stones now!"

Raon caught himself before slipping the brown-haired mage's real name.

「...How wonderful.」

"We're also going to get more!"

「...Even more than this?」

"Heh."

Rosalyn got the chills after hearing Rok Soo's short laugh.

She should be happy because they were on the same side, but she had an ominous feeling for some reason.

Rok Soo didn't care and continued to speak.

"I heard from Bob that he informed something crucial to the Singten Merchant Guild leader beforehand."

「Bob did?」

Rosalyn wondered what did Cale told Plavin.

+

"I'm curious if the other Young Master Cale were acting similarly to our Hero-nim"

Mary questioned quietly as she tilted her head for a bit, making her robe move.

+

"Well, he told that punk that he'll receive a fitting reward if he gathers as many magic stones as possible."

Cale had received the magic stones from Plavin Singten already, but had coaxed him to gather more when they met again this time.

Supposedly The value of those magic stones will be the value of the Merchant Guild's future and his own future position.

Rok Soo recalled Plavin of his world's passionate expression with a satisfied look on his face.

+

"A reward?"

Pen found this to be ridiculous and weird.

"Why would a criminal get rewarded?"

In which, his big brother, John, hummed.

"I'm not sure if this 'Reward' would be something positive- look, the young master Cale is smiling"

Indeed, Rok Soo is smiling that distinctive smile.

+

Realizing what the two were scheming, Rosalyn wryly asked while looking at Rok Soo's face.

「The reward for the Singten Merchant Guild leader... you mean, sending him to prison?」

"That is correct."

「Mm.」

Rosalyn did not say anything else for a moment.

The Singten Merchant Guild leader would probably gather a lot of magic stones after being seduced by Cale's words and pushed by Rok Soo's intimidation.
