Chapter 97: Arc 3, - 7: Co-Mmission
"Uhm, could we get more chocolate for Ms Kinoshita please," the minister glanced to one of the guards.
"No," Hotaru waved her hand, "No, no, please, I just..." her eyes snuck to Jotou, "I can't control myself around chocolate..."
"Well... that's news to me... I'm sorry about this."
"No need to apologize Thundering Blade, we can't blame a chocolate lover for coming to Galuvit. Hartamat's chocolate may not be the best in ranking, but it does have that homemade taste."
"I, thought I only took a few, not the... whole plate," she put the dish down, blushing as she kept her hands folded on her lap. "My focus is here, one hundred percent."
'I guess they were out for the taking... Though, she looked so happy and cute when she stopped and realized.' Jotou hid a smirk, "It's okay Hotaru. Back to business?" she faced the minister.
"Of course," Minister Saady moved on.
The redhead composed herself, ears standing up, "If a pass cannot be acquired upon request, then there must be a compensation for the travellers held up here.
Since we are hiring our service by private means and not governmental we have the right to move out and take upon the risks ourselves and not blame Hartamat for it.
I'm not as well-versed in the laws of Cravolta as I am with Kria, but I know the laws change in each province and each settlement; and as minister of Hartamat you're allowed to issue a pass on the ban you yourself made.
So I ask, why are you unable to give us a pass upon request, important visitors or not? I have not heard any word of compensation."
