......Is that weird?

It's okay to be weird.

But if I bought everything you asked for, it would cost a fortune.

Three million yen for a strange machine that looks like nothing more than a common household appliance...... I'll ask just in case, but isn't this a scam?

These instruments are expensive. I should point out that these are on the cheap side. To develop a drug from scratch in the surface world, you'd need hundreds of billions of yen in research funds.

What are you saying?

Just kidding.

But if we were to buy all these for real, it would cost ten million...... no, maybe even 100 million.

Do you have any savings?

I'm sure you're aware of this, but stealing is out of the question. It's possible to buy it in a way that can't be traced back to us, but if there's no payment, they'd obviously look into it...
