"S-Sir, isn't this a bit too much?"
Auri stared at the heavy pouch in his hand. "I only cleaned and gave the tome a few touches."
"Those few touches brought my wife's precious memories back to life. That's not something anyone could do so easily, so don't think too little of what you've accomplished. Gold is the least we could offer."
"Even so, I've only done this to repay you for helping me. Ten gold would have been more than enough."
"Repaying kindness with kindness. That's one more reason we should offer this much. You've got a kind heart worth rewarding."
"B-But is it really okay for you to give me this much? I've heard the fortress is going through some difficulties right now."
Abu scowled. "You must be thinking this fortress is too poor to give this much money for fixing one book."
"N-No, that's not-"
