I was having a late tea with Erika and Sister Meiya in the church's reception room.
The children had already gone to bed because it was late. Well, it was only 10 PM, so it wasn't exactly bedtime for me. Honestly, I suspect the real reason they went to bed was because I had whispered something to Dill earlier, and it had spread to his older sisters. After all, Dill had been cheerfully dragged away by them.
After that incident, Erika had worked hard to pull herself together and continued the conversation.
We discussed high-quality fabric and thread, hiring escorts for when she goes out to hunt slimes, and having the goods appraised and sold at Marika-san's flower garden.
When the topic turned to profit distribution, Erika still wasn't fully convinced by my suggestion, which is why the three of us were now having tea together.
