Summoning Old Friends

"What we really need now is a dwarf then." I said.

We all suddenly looked at Charlotte.

"Eh? Huh?"

"Do Half-Dwarves count?" I wondered.

"Yes they do… Oh, is Charlotte participating?" Asked Aria while feeling slightly excited.

"O-Of course not! I would never participate in something so dangerous! I will die before I could even get out of such a terrifying place!" Charlotte cried. "I am just a captain…"

"We'll triple your pay. Also, we'll protect you, don't worry." I said.

"Uugh… T-Three times the pay? Tentative but I pass!" She said.

"I see… Four times." I said.

"Uuuggh…"

"Five."

"Eehh…"

"Okay, ten! Ten times your pay!"

"T-That's… please stop!"

"Twenty…"

"O-Okay! Okay! I'll do it! With that I can live like over ten years without worrying about expenses…."

I guess money always wins.

"How can you get so much money though…" She said.
