"It could be, hey tell us how many resources did you obtain", demanded Maurice, to which the girls from the sect frowned to then say.
"Why should we!".
"Yeah, we didn't receive any help from you unlike those guys, so we don't owe you anything!".

"Why, you ask, because I say so…", unfortunately, this time it wasn't the girls from the sect the ones to answer him, but Aster himself.
