Umbraton is fertile soil in which business and sin can both flourish.

They're fond of making a big deal out of small problems, aren't they? The Cloudrover Guild, with its tiny fleet of airships, hardly poses a threat to that floating city in the sky. Wouldn't you agree?

The shadow is watching you.

So long as they can be used to turn a profit, then even Eclipsites... Heheh, don't tell me you thought I was being serious?

So you want to know about Istvan, Umbraton's Shadowlord? Heheh, you'll have to pay the price for information like that.

Investing in the Courier Union is actually an extremely valuable business decision. As for my reasoning... I'll share it with you someday in the future, when the time is right.

Making money is my reason for being, but I'm even more fond of people whose reason for being is spending money!

I could never dislike doing business, although... there is one type of business that I'm not particularly fond of, and that's trading at a loss.

Someday, I hope an item as wonderful as your Colossus will grace the shelves of the Cloudrover Guild.

The Cloudrover Guild stocks all kinds of beautiful furniture, some of which would look perfect here.

You want me to serve as your secretary? But of course, my dear! I can spend all day teaching you different ways to make money.

Did I miscalculate earlier...?

Thank you for your business!

Seize every opportunity!

An unconventional victory!

I hear the sound of money!

Opening for business.

Our partnership can go even further.

The guild always welcomes you.

You've invested in me now.

Daydreaming again, my dear customer? Be careful, as prices and business opportunities can change with little notice.

A wise investment.

Alchemy Stars.

Happy New Year, my dear. The Cloudrover Guild has added yet another year of business to its history, and so has our friendship.

I prepared a list of discounts just for you. Take a look, won't you? Oh, and there's a small gift on the back for you, since you're my extra-special customer.

The Nightium in my hand? You are very keen-sighted. It holds significant value to me... Never mind. Since you seem to be so curious about it, I'll let you have it.

I spent most of my life picking out goods and negotiating prices. But heed my words—use your precious time to create a bright future.

Generally, I seldom receive guests in person, but you do possess a special charm... Especially when it comes to paying your bill.

Different choices lead to different outcomes; this is true in both business and life. I'll let you have these words of wisdom for free.

All that rummaging and scurrying, like a cute little mouse. Ah, you there... Have you ever owned a pet snake?

I can see that you're confused and somewhat hesitant, my dear customer... I'll show you how to turn money into a beloved wonder that will remain with you forever...

Hmm? Have you found what you're looking for? Me? Haha, what a mischievous customer... I'm not for sale!

Partners, you say? Heheh, you're much more to me than that.

It's fine if you don't buy anything. After all, I enjoy chatting with my customers, and sometimes new business opportunities arise from our conversations.

You're far too naive, my dear customer. Business-minded people should be more flexible in their thinking.

Some call me the Avaricious Lachesis... Heheh, I can understand why they would think that way of me. But what about you? What kind of person am I in your eyes?

Happy New Year, my dear. The Cloudrover Guild has added yet another year of business to its history, and so has our friendship.

Welcome, my dear. The Cloudrover Guild will always welcome a distinguished guest with unparalleled taste like you.

My, aren't we feeling hasty today? Business hours haven't started yet, so please be patient.

Work lunch? No, I've prepared a much better choice for you today...

Come closer, my dear. Would you care to try one of the Cloudrover Guild's feather mattresses? They're on special offer right now!

Happy New Year, my dear. The Cloudrover Guild has added yet another year of business to its history, and so has our friendship.

I'm Sheol, the leader of the Cloudrover Guild. Given our relationship, there isn't much else to say, wouldn't you agree, my dear?

For me? Thank you.

You're not after something, are you?

You spent your money well!

I'll be sure to repay your generosity.

A decisive strike.

This is mine now!

Strategizing!

I don't often brag, but after raising a large business from virtually nothing, I should be considered one of Umbraton's most successful entrepreneurs.

Is there really any reason to talk about the irreparable past? As my valuable customer, you are what matters most right here and now, wouldn't you agree?

My dear, money flow is just like blood flow—efficient circulation pumps vitality into society. In other words, the Cloudrover Guild is the organ responsible for propelling the world into prosperity!

Let's get rich together.
