"Say Master Bell, do you recall the stones and items we turned into the Guild after that Minotaur?" Lili asked as she was rummaging through her bag of equipment in her room. With Helun and Bell indoors with her as they each rested at their leisure. With Helun lying on the bed combing her hair and Bell sitting himself on a chair and reading a book.

The both of them paused their actions and looked towards Lili on the bedside. Puzzled looks plastered on their faces as Bell shut his eyes. Humming as he eyebrows twitched and poked his forehead.

"Hrm...Ah! The one with Take-boy's kids in trouble."

"How is it you can be friendly yet sound disrespectful to a god?" Helun commented with a smile as Bell shrugged his shoulders at her.

"Yeah. That one. Well, what should we do with these?" Lili asked as she turned around to show the items in her hands. Startling Helun and causing Bell to blink a few times before his jaw hung. As he was looking at two glowing Minotaur Horns in her tiny hands. One crackling with sparks every now and then, and the other looked cracked with purple and red aura pulsing through it like veins. 

"Huh!? Lili! Why do we still have them!? We could've sold them to the Guild and rub it in Eina's face and bought food for a celebration!"

"Not my fault they wouldn't take them! They said, "find a smith that can afford them or make you something"! They're horns! Even my Gnome dealer said they were worth good money!" Lili exclaimed, shaking the horns in her hand as she flailed her arms. Grumbling and leering at the idea and aspect of losing money because of 'un-sellable goods'.

"Hmm...do you think it's because these horns are special. In a sense that the Minotaur used Magic and was able to use Adventurers equipment? Look, they're glowing or crackling with magic essence." Helun pointed out as Bell hopped on the bed and crawled towards Lili, startling the girls with how close he was to her face and looked at the horns in her hands.

"You're right. So...if we can't exactly sell 'em. Let's get Welf to make something out of them! That way he can get the chance to work on something cool and one step closer to curing his stupid. And help with Lady Phae's little thing for him!" Bell said with a cheerful expression as he rested his fist into his palm.

"That's...actually a good idea. Better to make something out of them than to let them sit around. It's not like we can find a buyer that quick, and even if we did, I could tell they'll try to rip us off on the price." Lili growled as her eyes narrowed off into space. Making Helun wince at how mad she was.

"Erm. Well, how much do you think they're wor-"

"Five Million Valis each!"

"That's highway robbery for horns Lili!" Helun slapped the air before her as she was appalled and shocked how she came up with that value for those horns before she could even finish her sentence. 

"Though...What should we get Welf to make from them?" Bell asked as he sat down cross legged, and the two girls looked at him. Their heads tilting as he mimicked their gestures as he pointed at the two of the horns that Lili now laid out before the three of them on the bed. 

"See...I thought that maybe we make something for the two of you. Though I think an extra weapon could be handy for me, I should better practice Endless Sky more. Since apparently it's more than just a knife by this point." 

"Erm, well I don't really see myself with any other weapon than knives and throwing knives."

"Lili is fine with her crossbow for her role as Supporter. And frankly, I don't think I can handle using a sword or other weapon aside something small."

"Yikes...that's gonna be heartbreaking for Ottar. If we made you a greatsword, he'd probably look forward to some father-daughter training time." Bell said, looking sad at the idea of a dejected and gloomy Ottar at the rejection of Lili not taking a weapon.
