Waving his hand to stop Kusri, who was about to go on talking, Hayreddin simply said, "Kusri, bring up your gin. I too would like to catch up with my brothers."
Bowing respectfully and stepping back, Kusri nodded in understanding, "Then I won’t disturb Mr. Hayreddin and Mr. Drake’s reunion. When Mr. Hayreddin is free, I would also like to have a chat with you."

That’s a territory bought from Tilo City-State by Viscount Komer, and I’m currently in charge of the construction project there."
"Ah? Boss, so those rumors are true? Xifnos Island is indeed undergoing massive construction, and people are recruiting Dwarf Craftsmen to work there.
