The End of A Dream [1]

"This! This is…amazing! I can't even describe it in words, that's how much of a wonder this thing is! Truly! There would have been wars if there had been something like THIS back in my time! I am not even lying." 

You might think Req was praising an all-powerful weapon, or something similar, but you are wrong. That was just the cotton candy in her hands. 

I tried refusing to buy her that as I didn't want to leave any trace of me in the city, but she was persistent. Then I gave it a bit of thought and remembered if there was a trace to leave, I'd already done the good and left my marks when I bought clothes and healing potions from here before leaving for the town. 

So I went and bought her the candy anyway. This, of course, wasn't an act of kindness—I was not so good to waste both time and money on a thing like that. I just wanted to make her depend on me, rely on me more.
