The Cost of Probability

"Shu, Emilia has finished the monthly expense report," Apple reported, making her way to Shu's study.

"Ah yes, how kind of her to help with the accounting. I'd like to see it now."

Some time passed until Shu called one of the guards. "Can you ask for Lord Riou's presence? I'll wait for him in my room."

Said boy appeared not so long after, knocking on the wooden door with utmost pleasantries. "Come in. My Lord, I've been looking forward to your visit. Please sit down."

Riou obeyed, though unsure what to say. Shu had never been easy to read. His strategist walked towards his bookshelf and pulled out a leatherbound book, which after some squinting read 'Monthly Expense'.

He had a bad feeling about this.

"So, what's this entry called 'Probability Cost'? It's rather big." He inquired.

Silence.

The young leader answered meekly,"Well, you see... Shilo had been very good lately..."

A/N: After some experimenting in other fandom, I find that regular update keeps my morale high, so this will be updated every Friday. Tell me if you have idea or remembering more Suikoden II oddities. Poking fun on the plothole or various gameplay mechanics. I hereby recommend Suikoden V comic anthology for more laugh.
