Tak. Tak. Tak—!
'...Is this enough? Or should I add more?'
It was a situation that left me stumped as I added more and more chocolate bars to the counter. It was slowly starting to pile up into a small mountain.
"C-cadet."
My actions seemed to have startled the cashier who looked at me with a flustered look.
I ignored it and placed another chocolate bar on the counter.
Tak.
This was an investment.
An investment for the future. Putting another chocolate bar on the counter, I met Kiera's gaze. Judging from her widened eyes, she too appeared to be at a loss for what I was doing.
I didn't feel like explaining everything, so I just said a few words.
"Bribe. I'm getting bribes."
It wasn't exactly a lie.
These were indeed bribes. Or perhaps a means to build up favor?
'Well, whatever... It's not like they're expensive anyways.'
It was about 0.5 Rend per bar. Doable.
"....Tsk. Whatever, I'm leaving."
"Hm?"
