Your lot's name has been brought up as potential, but I obviously haven't committed anyone to anything. If you did it, though, I bet you could probably get a concert out of it, too, if the white-haired one is told she'd be able to play what she wanted instead of whatever Shou made her do."

>"Well, we are a bit busy right now," says Byakuren, "and we aren't quite a construction crew. At the same time, I am not sure if anyone would go that way. I suppose it would be no problem if you can convince someone to do it. I would not wish to simply volunteer anyone without their wishes."

> Give an unsure look.
> "Well...the whole thing is kinda complicated. I'm not gonna lie to you; I thought this out with the intention of asking you girls about the repairs first rather than just volunteering for it myself. Not that I can't finance it if need be, but still, that's me avoiding the manual labor. But I also see it as an opportunity to maybe get you more regulars, if you can patch things up with the white-haired one. I'm sure I'm preaching to the choir here, but it's really frustrating to see your place not get more use than it has been, after all the heart you girls put into it, as well as all the money I put into it. So I saw their situation and figured it was a chance worth taking. But then there's also the sword, and I'll admit that one's a good deal of personal curiosity, more than anything else, really. So, I dunno. Maybe I'm being some sort of good girl here, but I still think a good chunk of it is my own personal interests."

>Byakuren nods and gives you a warm smile. "I think that is fine too. There's nothing wrong with benefiting from helping others, as long as you don't focus so strongly on the benefits to yourself that you neglect benefiting others. It's certainly better than not helping at all, isn't it?"
