At night, the first thing Jones did was head to Hilde.
To carry out the task entrusted by Barrel?
No. He wanted to, but today was Brotherhood meeting day again.
Since joining the Brotherhood, if there was one day of the week that Jones found the hardest to endure, it was probably the Brotherhood meeting day. *Being with Adelle's group of Brotherhood members doing things he had no interest in, which felt like a waste of time. However, he used to be able to make excuses, but not anymore. Now, every Brotherhood meeting, he had to attend and be early. After all, he who takes gets soft hands, he who eats gets short mouths.*
The worst part was that Adelle said to him with a look of contemplation, "My dear brother Jones, I've lent money to many people. Some of them disappeared after borrowing from me, as if meeting me would mean I'd ask them to repay. It breaks my heart. But of course, I know you're not like that."
