"Honestly, no matter how you mess with this face of yours, it looks good, even if it's dirty, it has its own aesthetic charm."
Outside the crowd, Philixia used Bopai's body as a barrier, began pushing the bewildered Lann to squat down, then brandished a razor above his head.
"Your hair... oh, I can't bear to touch it! This silver is so beautiful! How about just trimming the sideburns a bit? Just having signs of trimming will show you're taking this signing event seriously. This will give merchants and bankers great confidence."
Before Lann could respond, the razor that had earned the female sorcerer apprentice quite a bit of pocket money was already touching Lann's sideburns.
With a few swift moves, the slightly messy sideburns were neatly trimmed.
Philixia finally released Lann from squatting.
The young man, still somewhat confused, stood up: "Wait... at least tell me what's going on. Is Giancardi Bank becoming Airetusa's partner?"
"Not quite, but close enough."
