Uwaaahh...

Yeah, okay.

Just take a sniff of this first.

Okaaaayhhh...

(Inhale)

I know this!

(Takes a deep breath)

You better now?

Hahhhh~~~~

Better!

Eheheheh. Thanks, Mayer.

We're not gonna get any business done with you bawling your eyes out.

True that, heheh.

Still dunno why you love sniffing the refined lubricant I have in here...

Well, 'cause it smells good, duh.

Guess Warfarin wasn't wrong. There's no blood in your veins, just machine oil.

Enough of that. Let's get real.

Aye-aye.

You need me to refit the Raythean Challenger. Raise its attack power. Right?

Also, self-defense, damage resist, and evac plans. After all, we're gonna put a smart little guy in there. Can't have it breaking after one use.

Then you came to the right person.

Now. My reward?

Remember how there was a little hoard in the hangar? As long as you—

I'll take the job!

Heheh. Let's get along, partner.

Gettin' along, gettin' along~

But, uh.

What?

See the blackboard over there?

Covered in sticky notes?

Yeah.

That's my schedule.

Even if as a rush job, your commission still lands bottom-right of the very last note.

Uhh—

Any way I can jump the queue?

No, sirree.

So in other words, two months.

Work fast, it'll be fifty days.

Huh?

Do you really work that fast?!

Decently. Sometimes inspiration hits and the work's done.

Er... I'll leave you to it, then...

Good luck with work!

Hold it!

Huh?

You format the door for me first. I need to do its settings over.

Also, strip your sys-op authority off it.

Right now. Straight away. Giddy up.

Uhh—

Awright...

Two hours later...

Just the laaast bit—

Ding dong!

Mayer, it's me.

Um...

Did you change the password? Is that why the door's not opening?

And that should be about done.

Huh? Someone at the door again?

It's me!

Maggy! The door's broken! Push the button on the side and come in!

Hi, you.

Heyo.

I'm still busy with something for Saria here. Can't lay out the carpet for you.

So, you need something from me?

I made a reservation.

Drone plans. Wondering how they're doing?

Huh... oh!

That. Already done.

Listed out some technical essentials, improvement proposals and required materials. Everything's in that file on the table there. You look through, and if it's all good, we can set up a new time to help you make some fitting parts.

If you've got issues with it, we'll have a meeting about it.

Rightie. Thanks, Mayer.

Which file on which table is it?

That one, that one.

Your mechanical arms are pointing at at least four different tables. How should I know which one?

Mayeeer—

Ahhh don't pull me! I'm still painting here!

You can leave paint and keep painting later. Help me find the files first, okay?

Mayeeeer~~

I get it.

Mm-hm. Thankies~

Mmn—it's this one.

Oh...

These are your expensed items for last month.

Oh, sorry. I meant this one.

Mmm...

Yep, that's it!

Thank you, Mayer!

Ain't no thang. Just what I oughta do.

Then I'll be heading out now. Bye-bye.

Ah.

I almost forgot the most important part!

Can I ask you what the time is right now?

Noon, right?

Afternoon already!

Mayer, have you eaten yet?

Huh? You mean me? I eat an energy bar and I'm fine.

That's no good!

Here, take this!

This is?

I bought it at the cafeteria. They had the freshwater stuff you love today.
