A return

[Franz and Ruby lands outside the gates of the Budehuc, and Franz dismounts. He’s not dressed in his uniform, instead wearing civilian clothes that wouldn’t be out of place in the HSFDF] What in the world happened? Looks like a golem came through here.

Anyways, I’m Franz, from Le Buque reporting here as… a member of the Harmonian Southern Frontier Defense Force as extra security for his Grace, the Bishop Sasarai.

This is Ruby, he’s my mantor. Don’t be afraid of him, he’s harmless so long as you’re not baiting him.

There will no requests for mantor dishes. Ever.

Hmm, you're probably right. Anyway, business has been a bit slow ever since a certain fire incident at Brass Castle, but all our legal troubles should be behind us very soon! In the meantime, let me know if you're interested in doing some strictly off-the-record work, hehe.

[grassnorcrystal]

Off the record work?

[miss_matchmaker]

Legally, we're not allowed to hand out work until this matter is resolved, but why should the people suffer while these bureaucrats figure out what to do, right? So, I'm having some guys do some small-time work in the meantime, you know, like picking apples from a high tree or delivering babies. Y'know, stuff not worth recording.

[grassnorcrystal]

D-Delivering babies?

[miss_matchmaker]

Yup, the whole miracle of life and all! ♥ Wanna do it?

[grassnorcrystal]

No!

[Coughs into his fist] I can barely cut my hair, delivering an infant would be a disaster.

A wise person once said that you'll never know anything until you try! But it's probably a good general rule to learn how to cut your hair before delivering someone's baby into the world. So keep on practicing!
