"One survivor," Talo said. "That is... disappointing."
Kaori just shrugged.
It's definitely sad, but... I mean, it was an attack on a convoy that happened hours before I even got there. I'm shocked there were even people to help at all.
"Regardless, you did complete your mission. Here is your reward."
The Royal Council representative then dropped five white royal crowns into Kaori's right palm. There was a time when seeing this amount of money would have made her eyes bulge out of their sockets. Right now, though, she just took the money, pocketed it, nodded to the Royal Council's vessel, and turned away from them.
"Oh, wait," Kaori stopped herself. Gosh, I'm so out of it right now.
"Hm?" Talo tilted their head.
"I wanted to take another mission."
"Ah," Talo smiled. "Which one?"
