You too, Healas?

Indeed, Cotton.
I've suffered huge losses.

I never would've thought things
would turn out this badly.

What's the matter?

Hmm. Kids your age probably aren't
interested in what we're talking
about, but lend us an ear.

Of course. I'd
love to hear.

I'll be the judge of whether or not it's
interesting after hearing you out.

You're good kids.

We invested money
in small guilds.

When a guild succeeded, we would
receive money back according to
how much we invested.

Hm? That sounds pretty fishy.

Fishy?

Yeah, I guess that figures.

What? It figures?
So then...

Up until recently, it was very
profitable, so we invested
in lots of guilds.

However, all the guilds we've invested
in lately have been disbanding across
the board.

We didn't receive the money we invested
back, so we've suffered heavy losses.

I can't believe that could happen.
Guess you have to be careful.

Are you going to be able
to get by all right?

More or less. We still have
some savings left.

We figure this must be the price we
pay for taking the world of business
lightly. We've called it quits.

Aye, you're lucky it wasn't worse.

You're such nice kids
to listen to us rant.

While I still have your attention, I want
to give you one last piece of my mind.

One way or another,
money is important.

Just because you've put a bit away,
doesn't mean you can go off and
spend it. You'll regret it.

Whenever you can be making money,
you better be making money!

Yes, yes! Even fighting monsters is
an opportunity to make money.

Really? I can make money
while fighting...

...Patty, what is it?

I just thought up
something good!
