"There's still a little more left, but I've sent someone to keep an eye on it. It'll definitely be done before the discussion."
"It's been hard on you."
"Heh heh…"

"What is it?"
"You've heard about Elin having concocted the Catalytic Potion, haven't you?"
"Mhm, someone has told me. Congratulations, Balbo. Elin has finally done you proud." Old Grimm was all smiles at the mention of the Catalytic Potion.
