You and I both know that I'm the only man for the job.

I just wasn't sure if I'm ready to take this step.

You went to all the effort, coming on this trip with me, just to tell me—

You know, and you remember.

You came to see me off, didn't you?

I was waiting for the most nimble Itra in the mountains to muster the courage to descend into the vast unknown.

You will lose your most loyal lieutenant.

I will gain a new friend, an interesting ally, a worthy competitor.

Master. I expect this is the last time I'll call you that. I'll leave your side and leave Clan Silverash.

I'll establish my own logistics company.

It will not be registered in Kjerag. It will focus on the development of routes in the Terra Nullius surrounding Kjerag, in conjunction with MountainDash Logistics.

Its operations will not be limited to logistics. It will participate in the development of villages in Terra Nullius, and improve the state of transportation around Kjerag.

Perhaps it will even build a new nomadic city on the outskirts of Kjerag.

Will it be Karlan Trade's ally, or enemy?

I can only promise that it will remain a friend to Kjerag. It was you who taught me that there is no such thing as an absolute ally or enemy in the realm of business.

You think you can persuade Bison to work with you?

Between a worthwhile partner and a subordinate whose loyalty is uncertain, he knows which choice to make.

My name won't carry much weight outside Kjerag.

The things I've learned over the years by your side and from Rhodes Island will last me a while.

I'm never going to hear the end of it from Ensia about how I keep driving people away.

You'll deserve it. Of course, Silverash Manor is still my home, and I could hardly be faulted for coming home once in a while.

What should we call this company, this new friend of Kjerag?

I think 'Courier Logistics' will do nicely.
