The Fruit of Struggle - Part 14

"The business dealings – did they conclude alright?"

Nila's excitement returned as she nodded enthusiastically. "Yup! After seeing you fight the other day, I knew I couldn't keep letting my fear hold me back. I've been worried for ages about what people would say about a girl like me hunting – but finally I've made the first step, and it seems like I'll be making so much money!"

Beam grinned, sharing her joy. "You're well on the way to building up that hunting business that you wanted."

But Nila shook her head. "Nope. I still have a long way to go. I know that looking at Greeves – even though he's absolutely the worst, I still can't deny that he's way out of my league. If I'm going to have my own hunting business, I need to not just be the best hunter, but I need to be the best merchant too. That's the only way I'm going to make it to the top."
