"I have no doubt that you will, and don't let anyone stop you from leaving early, on My command you have your leave, if they refuse they will deal with me."

He couldn't even describe all that Aijou did for him, and it was nice to be able to help him in return, though money seemed a pale gift for the hard work and comfort. Turning from the other's exit, he focused on the long day ahead.
