[center][b]Takeyoshi Sakujima- スクロールを読みながら話している[/b][/center]

"I've told you this every day since we've been here: imposing on our hosts like that by asking for luxuries is just asking for trouble! Once we get things that we can sell off at a pawn shop, you'll get your candy and we can pay them back for all they've done!" Takeyoshi responded in turn, his straight-man act feeling oddly fitting for this situation. "But, uh... Yeah. So long as you don't damage anything that we can sell off later or anything that I might be able to get more info from, you're free to go buck-wild."

The scroll in his hands, it seemed, was an epic of sorts; one in a series, which he hadn't yet found the beginning to. Lamenting that fact, Takeyoshi put it to the side to read at a later time before standing up and walking over to the desk up front, where the old woman was sitting by calmly, waiting for any more visitor.

"Excuse us, but my friend and I will be leaving for the moment. We'll surely pay you and your husband back in the future, but for now I'm going to have to trouble you with a request to stay a while longer," Takeyoshi stated, bowing low in front of their patron here.

"Don't worry about it, don't worry about it! Our children have long since left and had children of their own; you two being here reminds us of when they were young, and it brings back a small spark into our lives," she responded, waving her hand as if to show it meant nothing. Takeyoshi, however, didn't feel that to be... Right.

"No, no; I insist that we pay you back in the future. Honestly, thank you for supporting us here."

The old woman began to open her mouth again to respond, but decided that not doing so was for the better and instead gave Takeyoshi a warm smile.

"If you say so. Well, good luck to both of you, then."

"Thank you."

With that exchange of dialogue over, Takeyoshi beckoned for Miyu to follow along as he walked out the door, closing his eyes and trying to remember where the dungeon was supposed to be from a map...

Until he opened them again to see that the buildings (more like giant floating prisms, really) seemed to stretch into the sky a few blocks away, seeming to coalesce into something like a model of a molecule gone terribly long. How could he be so absentminded already? Had his face been stuck in scrolls long enough for him to forget common sense?

"Okay, I'm honestly not expecting much on the first few floors; it's very likely they've been cleaned out quite thoroughly by now. If we want anything good, we need to start scaling that thing and examining things [i]very carefully[/i]; maybe if we're lucky, we'll find something once we start hitting floor... Well, a good estimate would be floor 40 or 50, assuming we're able to to make it that far. The good stuff will probably start popping up... Maybe ten or twenty floors more?. Of course, that's assuming we even get there. Maybe I'm overestimating, but at least it's better than going in with the expectation to get good money before floor 10," Takeyoshi said, rattling off his thoughts to Miyu (who he assumed to be at the very least walking alongside or behind him as he went). "You can use your magic as a light source, right? We might be able to use that and save some money, assuming it wouldn't impact your ability to fight that badly."
