"Aren\'t you thinking? The alchemy guild needs a great deal of herds to make sure that we can regulate the price and begin selling potions at set prices. If we lack that then we are just some small time group that doesn\'t have any weight to throw around. That\'s how the alchemy building does it. We have money so we buy power with it." Remey was getting taught a valuable lesson. One she would need to know when she was part of the guild she was trying to form. 

"He\'s got a good point. It would only make sense that as soon as the guild was formed that the competitors would try and buy you out of herbs so that you couldn\'t stop them from controlling the prices and movement of potions.." Walker could see it happening now. There would be a rush the moment the news spread to the markets for herbs. 

"So you\'re saying we invest the gold on to this now so that we can resist the rush later? And after we have the potions and herbs stocked we will be able to properly regulate and begin classes?" Remey already had a hand to her chin thinking. "We can pause our potion experiments for the day. We need to procure gold and prepare for a takeover." 

Remey was already starting to clean up. "Oh, Walker, I will stop by and talk to Lisa later. If you see her first tell her I am looking for something formal and business like. I want to be noticed when I take all the herbs with the old man." Remey had a glint in her eye that was only seen in the old master alchemists as well. The two were going to take the merchants at the festival by storm. 

"I knew you were my family. We might not have blood little Remey, but we have more than that!" The old master alchemist was in higher spirits than Walker had ever seen. He wasn\'t sure if Remey would react negatively to his words so he decided to push himself out the door. 

Surprisingly, instead of hearing a yell or a slam of a punch or object falling. Walker only heard a soft thank you as he left. Remey seemed to be in a much better mood than he believed. It was touching how Remey had managed to find a family member like the master alchemist even though she was just a child with only the other orphans around. Out of all of them, she had made herself a family before even joining the party. Remey had the largest family out of all of them. 

"I\'m glad those two are getting ready for the festival. That just leaves Gil who I bet will end up a goblin or troll. He probably didn\'t risk stopping at Lisa\'s work room before he headed out to shop. Oh! Look, there\'s his mother and Lewisia. I guess we should say hi before we head up and try our own costumes on." Midnight seemed to support this idea with a huff and even Onyx nodded. The two were enjoying the bright sun too much to leave the outdoors just yet. 

"Hey, how are the sunflowers going?" Walker was sure that there had not been much change but he wanted to see what had happened and what Lewisia may have learned already. 

"Oh, same old same old. They already sprouted and Lewisia here is a natural plant whisperer. Did you know that all the seeds she planted so far have grown without even adding her mana? It was pretty amazing. Could be luck or could be that she has a knack for this." Gil\'s mother was pointing out twenty perfect little sunflower seed sprouts that had grown overnight more or less. 

Lewisia went to bow to Walker again but stopped halfway through realizing that it wasn\'t necessary and she didn\'t need to. "I\'m glad you are catching on. I didn\'t want you to have to worry about bowing or anything. You are an equal here and we will tell you every single minute of every single day until you believe it." Walker sounded overbearing but knew that the demons needed a firm hand. They were used to such methods and if that was how they accepted the freedom and released their past then that was what he would do. 

"They will be beautiful." Lewisia nodded her head constantly while promising this. Walker could only smile and look at the miraculous rainbow sunflower sprouts. 

"They will be the most vibrant flower in the garden. I am sure of it." Walker had to support her believes and saw that Gil\'s mother also nodded along. 

"By the way, I spoke with the master alchemist and we found a good guy to come and build the green house. It will take a week to build after the festival but it will be the highest quality. I also think that he can add some self heating and cooling elements if we hire a mage." Gil\'s mother had thought this all out properly. 

"I will leave it all up to you and the master alchemist. I trust your experience." This was met with a positive look and Walker knew the result would be perfect. "I am going to take Midnight up to Lisa\'s room. She already has a costume for her and I need to try a few things on." Walker gave a wave and had a feeling that the garden was only going to get bigger and bigger as the weeks before winter went on.
