Author’s Note: We will return to an earlier point in time. This takes place after we sold the information.

Ah, I got so nervous. I was so tense that I could hardly move.

Wanting to leave as quickly as possible, I shoved the bundle of banknotes into a plastic shopping bag. That might have been rude of me.

What should I do? Mira might scold me later. Still, we received more than expected. Mira might allow some leniency, given the circumstances. I should head straight to the guild and exchange it for yen.

Ah, I can finally afford the MP Ring. I should buy it before it is sold out.

Is this idea clever or foolish? If we broadcast this, would it not help Ambassador Fischer? Even though it would only show us on the stream, it could serve as an appeal to his home country, showing that cooperation with Japanese explorers is going well. The real opponent is the ambassador in Tokyo. The final outcome might depend on the impression given to Fischer’s home government. After all, the national assembly there has the final authority.

“Mira, I am heading to the guild now. I will buy the MP Ring and bring it back. Should we broadcast this?” (Kouta)

Honestly, I could not decide by myself. I really have no idea.

“@/＆￥－)☆!!?” (Mira)

“It might just look like a foolish video about us buying good equipment, but those who can read between the lines would see that it shows a positive relationship with the Dungeon Embassy. What do you all think?” (Kouta)

Mira’s shriek was so strange that even the dumpling-shaped translation device could not interpret it. I needed to return this device to Emilia later.

While everyone looked confused, Sofia expressed her agreement.

“Considering the timing, it would be good support for Ambassador Fischer. I agree.” (Sofia)

“In that case, I have no reason to object. I agree as well.” (Haruka)

After Haruka-kun voiced his approval, the others also agreed.

“Everyone… thank you.” (Mira)

Mira thanked us with teary eyes.

It should not have been such an emotional matter. Trying to stay on good terms with the generous Ambassador Fischer is not strange at all. Then, why is Mira thanking us like this? Could it truly affect her family’s occupation so deeply?

There were so many things I did not understand. The world was far too complicated. The footage we later recorded showed us rejoicing over an expensive purchase, as well as Germany buying our information for a large sum. It was quite a ridiculous video.

Even so, Mira seemed satisfied with it.

After Ambassador Fischer’s press conference, Germany decided a few days later to replace its ambassador stationed in Tokyo.
