"Is this mission... difficult?" Christina asked cautiously.
"Oh, no, not difficult." Andrew, snapping back to his senses, replied a bit flustered: "Not difficult at all. It's just... why hire a mercenary group for this kind of mission? How much did she offer you?"
"Lady Lida said she'd give me fifty copper coins."
"Fifty copper coins?"
"Since she's a neighbor, I gave her a fifty percent discount."
"Fifty copper coins with a fifty percent discount?" Andrew was flabbergasted.
"Is fifty percent too much?" Christina blinked innocently and asked.
Andrew didn't even know how to continue the conversation anymore. He held his forehead for a while, then helplessly said: "The problem isn't the discount—it's the fifty copper coins itself. Even if you charged full price, no discount, it's still just fifty copper coins. Are all the missions you take usually this cheap?"
Christina shrank her neck, lowered her head, and looked at Andrew pitifully.
