Ankato wore his usual sunny smile. "What? Why couldn't it be me?"
Cantona glanced at the convoy pulling to a stop behind him, puzzled. "You're only delivering some goods. Isn't it a little strange that they'd send you personally? Besides, you're bringing farmland magic machinery. What does that have to do with you, the household magic machinery department head?"

"Yes. That's exactly what the president told me before I left."
