Madness of Runic Armaments

"What?! You want us to pay for the ores?!" Mathias asked, while his expression changed drastically, "...and here I thought we were friends…"

Mathias started to sulk, but Nial's expression was unreadable. Meanwhile, Miranda looked at the situation with a faint smile.

"Does that mean I should also demand you two to pay for my weapon and armor casts, and the smithy I brought with me from Liondra?" She asked, laughing lightly.

However, what she didn't expect was that Nial smiled faintly before he showed a cute expression, "I don't have any money left." 

A moment later, Nial burst into laughter. He couldn't hold back anymore and it took him a few minutes to calm down.

"I was just joking about being paid," Nial quickly added, wiping the tears of joy out of his eyes' corner just to sigh deeply as he revealed, "But I really don't have any money anymore…"

Nial smiled lightly while enduring the stupefied gazes that lingered on him.
