[Is she talking about the stone he's been carrying around religiously?]

Great Ambition, I hate to tell you this, but . . . there is no brick in my possession. I understand what you mean, though. I shouldn't rely on things like chance so much. In order to serve you better, I will strengthen myself accordingly.

[From this day onward, he'll work out so that he can run even faster than before. Cultivate his combat skills? Who's got time for that!]

I come from An Ding Peak, where hard work is valued above all else. It's a quality that perfectly suits ambition, don't you think? I'll figure something out. I always do.

[If he can be relied upon for anything, it's how he miraculously survives all kinds of disasters. At the ripe age of seventeen, he was the sole survivor of a demon attack, and it wasn't just luck that saved him! If he can jot that down on his resume, he would. Please believe him.]

[She's not smacking him, so he considers this a smashing success without the smashing.]

[No! Ambition is taking this too literally. If there's one thing that should be taken in a literal sense, it's this: An Ding Peak means Peaceful Peak!]

N-no, of course not. Great Ambition, I am henceforth yours to do with as you please . . .

[He wants nothing more than to find a bed and die in it.]

No, Great Ambition. I won't waste any more of your time.

[Please go, so he can have a moment to cry alone.]
