Chapter 199: Old Debts
“Anyone who likes hats is a good person.”
Hearing that, the Hat Mouse took off his own hat and gave Leon a polite tip of the brim.
“All right, time to go.” Leon waved his hand. He hadn’t learned anything particularly interesting from the Hat Mouse today, so he had no plans to linger. Besides, it was getting dark.
“Wait—if you still have some money, I think you should buy this hat.”
Leon had just turned to leave when the Hat Mouse called out to him.
Leon looked back and saw the Hat Mouse holding a floppy, grimy old top hat. The brim had a tear, and through that gap, Leon could faintly see a yellowed piece of paper.
If he wasn’t mistaken, this was one of the three hats he’d examined earlier—the Old Timer’s Hat.
Leon had been curious about it before. But since he wanted to spend every coin wisely, he had suppressed that curiosity.
Now, with the Hat Mouse pointing it out again, Leon suspected there was some hidden story to it.
