Can't borrow any more money from Father right now...

Otherwise he might send people over to investigate.

Why not return some of the eggs to cut down on our expenditure?

Return the eggs?

Stop joking!

All of these people know my secret.

If they reveal it to the church, I'm finished.

And, they all think of themselves as victims.

If any of them seek revenge afterwards it'll mean even more trouble for me.

At this point all I can do is control them temporarily with their elf's eggs.

Hm, but you're desperately in need of money.

Well...why don't you...

Send them out to work?

Oh!

Right!

Is it?
