Lena, blissfully unaware of the chaos she had caused, finalized the deal.
「Well, yes, that's because Ms. Lisa is a real nice person.」「So, Jay, are you going to do it? 'Cause I believe we got the approval of your Princess.」 Randall pressed, his eyes twinkling.【Say no, lose his respect and my Princess might get sad. But say yes, I'll deal with Iris... I choose to deal with Iris!.】「...Sighs... This is way backwards, but fine. I'll do it.」「Thank you, Jay! ...She went to him and hugged him...」【Damn, for a Saintess, this body is a sin.】 「Err... You're welcome.」「I almost forgot to mention: she's eighteen, so you'll only get married next year, OK?」「OK, Father.」 Lisa agreed instantly.「Wait... He's your Dad? Like, your actual Dad?」 Jay asked, utterly blindsided.「Yep.」「What the hel... How'd you bag her mother?」「By that, I assume you mean how we got together? ...Jay nods yes... Well, some ladies love a man who knows what his aim in life is.」「That I can respect. But our house is kinda small.」 Jay admitted, suddenly self-conscious.「Oh, how many rooms does it have?」「Seven rooms, seven bathrooms, and a basement I use as my workshop.」Lisa released him from the hug, her eyes thoughtful.「Oh, so you have a small mansion. That's OK. It sounds like half the size of our house.」「What, really?!」「Yes! Father isn't big on living the glamorous life, but just like you, he had to keep face, you know.」「Yah, I know... But OK, Pope—」「Just call me Randall.」「OK then, Randall, we'll be leaving now. Oh, and is it OK if I can bring Saalin for her baptism, too?」「Yes, it's OK. And I wish you two a happy life together.」「OK. ...Then they left...」20 Minutes Later...
Randall turned to his attending priest, Liam, his gaze resting on the magnificent statue.「It's weird, Liam, truly weird. He gave this perfect replica away for almost nothing. What do you think about it?」「Well, it's masterfully made, Master Randall, that's a given.」「Yah. And to my estimates, it's probably worth thirty million platinum! And yet, he didn't sell it.」「...Shocked... It can't be!」「It is. He said he used the exact materials the texts described her clothes were made from. And this cloth... ...Chuckles... So he even got his hand on that fabric too, huh?」「Which one, Master Randall?」「The very fabric our priestly garments are made from, but his is of the highest quality. So he really did follow the text's instructions.」「My word! So, was this as a dowry for Lady Lisa?」「That's the weird part: it's not for Lisa, but for two slave girls he has under his command. And I have a feeling he might be back with another one soon enough.」Liam, the numbers man, quickly calculated the magnitude of the gift.「But if we use our standard price of six silver, that means we'll owe him 2,999,999,999,999,999,988 silver!」「That's true. So it means he won't pay for his whole lifetime... It's tiring just thinking on how much we owe! Heck, he can buy a whole kingdom if he keeps this up! And yet, he didn't.」「So you were right about him?」「Yes. He has no greed for women, fame, power, or anything like that. The only greed he possesses is to look after his family. So, Lisa is in capable hands.」「If you say that, then he must've really impressed you.」「Yah. (...Smiles...) The boy's got power, real power.」「With that, I agree.」Iris looked up from her book as Jay and Lena burst through the door.「Could you explain what happened when you were gone?」「Yah, it's kinda perplexing.」 Saalin added, equally bewildered.
