Chapter 3

I want you to make me a training room with a higher setting.

I need to get stronger, as soon as possible.

Ugh... Everybody's working me to death...

Fine, come over here.

How's this?

Perfect. Thank you.

By the way...

Seeing as it was your fault that our last hideout got blown up, you're going to have to calculate whether it'll be cheaper to rebuild the place or to construct a new one altogether.

Err... Me?

Kugo told me to tell you so.

Ah... The thing is...

Tell you what, if you can clear this room, then we'll call it even.

So get to it.

Nice work. You cleared it without any problem.

But it is my fault that the old hideout can't be used anymore. I feel like I should do something...

Hey, Yukio! Put a table and chair over here too!

And I'll have another tea and cake, Giriko.

Are you sure you should be eating so much?

There's always room for sweets! Off you go now!

At this rate, we'll run out of supplies in no time...

Oh, could you go ahead and stock up around 20 bags of Earl Grey leaves and 50 pieces of poundcake?

Yes, yes, I hear you. Everyone takes whatever they want when they're not the ones paying for it...

If it helps, just remember that the cost of fixing up the hideout isn't even close to the cost of meeting their demands.

Even after we rebuild the old place, they'll still be complaining about how uncomfortable it is while asking for everything under the sun.

It's nice that everyone gets along so well.

Hah. Is that how you see it?

You don't think so?

Hmm. I wonder...
