The Clarkson family patriarch hesitated a bit. "This... if we buy steel futures, it goes up every day. But buying a magic-powered vehicle..."
"Back then when I told you to hurry up and join the steel futures buying crowd, you were hesitant and indecisive. Now when I tell you to buy a magic-powered vehicle, you're conflicted again."
The Clarkson family clan elder was a bit frustrated. "How much money does buying a magic-powered vehicle even cost? The high-end version of a regular vehicle is only 1,288 gold coins."
"But this is about appearances. Think about it—after this launch ends, which family won't use magic-powered vehicles? Forget families—I bet even bigger merchants will use them."
"Not even having one magic-powered vehicle—won't people look down on us?"
