In Hilia's room, Elina visited once again.
This time, she looked different from before, clearly conflicted.
"Let me say this first—the Pure Magic Crystal costs at least two thousand Gold Coins before I'll even consider selling it. If you don't have the Gold Coins—or something of equal value—I'm not selling."
Before Elina could speak, Hilia stressed her point.
Elina nodded. "I know. I can't gather that many Gold Coins, but I still want that Pure Magic Crystal."
Hilia: "?"
Elina said, "I've thought about it for a long time. Maybe I really can't handle that place on my own. If I take a partner, even if I have to split the loot, it'll at least be safer..."
Hilia said, "You're not talking about the ancient ruin you offered in exchange for my Pure Magic Crystal, are you?"
Elina nodded.
