"Mm... I don't know if self-help books are really all that helpful," Makoto replied with a small shrug. Not that he couldn't give props to Ren for trying. "Maybe try to control just which castles you wanna raid. Robin Hood stole from the rich, but mostly the ones that were greedy and stuff. I feel like if there were nobles who were actually nice and tried to be helpful, he wouldn't steal from them."

Makoto led them through the halls and back toward the party, beelining for the food.

"Besides, this is the Beast's castle. I doubt he really has anything all that valuable anymore, the enchanted rose aside."
