...Yeah. Well, at least it wasn't one of those Witches with the power to hole up in their own little worlds - Those are horrible to deal with, honestly.
[The older girls said, sighing, and then put something in the younger girl's hand.]
- But we got at least one Grief Seed from the upgraded Familiar, so we can share that, I suppose. Yay?
......Yay. Um, I mean, thanks, Delia.
[The younger girl said, listlessly, and then, she did something with her hands, though Oktavia couldn't tell what she was doing.]
- You know, Delia? I can't help thinking that those nasty Ribbondorf girls are right on one way - We'll never get enough Grief Seeds if we keep on getting rid of the immature Familiars like we have up to now...
[The older girl sighed, then.]
...I know what you mean, but - Look, Helga, come on, we can't just let monsters go attack ordinary folk because it suits us better that way. I mean, what would Lady Ve - Our Sponsor think of that?
[The younger girl huffed at that.]
- Well, it's not like Our Lady knows about the Magical Girl business, or about Witches and Familiars for that matter, right?
[And then, her expression became much brighter.]
...But wait, I have an idea! What if we found some bad people to feed to the Familiars? I mean, I wouldn't want to stand by why they attack ordinary people either, but it doesn't seem like they care at all about who they try to suck energy off, so.
[And then, the younger girl looked around the clearing, and snickered, a dark look in her eyes.]
- And there's a pack of theives which are making a name for themselves right around here, from what I've heard, ha ha ha -
[Oktavia groaned inwardly, and slowly pinched her own cheek. She wasn't dreaming or anything, right?]
[Ophelia's people's hiding place]
[Ophelia paused for a moment, then. It wasn't like she wanted to get on Marianna's bad side, honestly - Marianna was one of the few nobles that she actually respected, after all.]
...Hey, you know, Lady Marianna? How much do you think a honest merchant girl could get for these music sheets and the pendant, if she just happened to find them in the woods or something?
[Marianna turned, and smiled a bit.]
- For all of them? Hmm, well, she could get at least a gold piece as a reward, I'd suppose. She'll have to make up a believable story about how she just happened to find them in the woods, though - I mean, it wouldn't do if the young noble lady in question thought that the honest merchant girl was actually one of the theives, after all!
...True, true.
[Ophelia said, and then, she looked at the sheets of music again.]
- Well, let's say that the this honest merchant girl just happened to be taking a walk in the woods, and then, some idiots almost ran her over with their horses! She yelled at them, of course, but they just ran away laughing, and then, she found a bag on the ground, and those things just happened to be inside them...
