Chapter 432: Two Beginnings (2/2)

Sally had just finished doing her usual rounds around the village.

“Doctor, you’ve taken great care of my mother. I’m indebted to you.”

Elsa thanked Sally once again.

“Oh no, a healer’s job is to treat their patients. I’m glad you’re grateful for my job, but you don’t owe me anything.”

Sally evaded her with a laugh.

“But I was really surprised when Jin came back with a doctor.”

“Ah, me too. But it seems I’m completely recovered now.”

“Yeah, thanks to Jin and the lifestyle here…”

Sally took a sip of the tea that she had in front of her, and seemed to be enjoying herself as she spoke.

“Ehehe, this is a nice village. And that Jin… He’s quite the mysterious man.”

“Yeah, really.”

Sally and Mine seemed to be getting along very well. It felt as if they were close sisters.

“But Elsa, was it? You’re using the finest healing magic there is at such a young age! It’s almost frightening. With experience, you’ll be a much better healer than I am.”

“Well, that’s also thanks to Brother Jin.”

“Ehehe, so Jin has a hand on that as well, huh? By the way, where did he go?”

She then added “I haven’t seen him all morning.”

“I’m sure Brother Jin must have run off somewhere.”

“Hmm, I see. He did have some Artifacts with him. So that’s why he’s left… He seems pretty busy.”

Sally laughed as she said that.

At that moment…

“Chief, Mr. Eric from the Raglan Firm seems to have arrived.”

Butler-A announced the arrival of the person they were expecting.

“Ah, I see. Right on time. Please guide him to the shophouse Jin has prepared.”

“Right away, sir.”

Butler-A then left the room, but after hearing that, Sally seemed curious.

“Did someone arrive?”

“They said someone called Eric just arrived.”

“Could that be Barbara’s boyfriend?”

Both Sally and Mine had their questions, and Elsa soon answered them.

“Ah, I’ve heard about that. Seems he’s coming to open a shop in this village and is going to live here together with Barbara.”

“Hmm? Barbara is… Ah, she’s that young lady… The village chief’s niece, right? Well, it’s certainly nice to have more people living here in the village.”

A few moments later, Barbara rushed in, puffing and blowing.

“Uncle, Eric’s here! Why didn’t you tell me!?”

“Ah, I should have told you, shouldn’t I? But you’ve already found out by yourself, right?”

“Ugh… That’s not the point!”

“Hoho, looks like it’s getting lively in here.”

“… Barbara sounds so happy.”

“Youth is such a wonderful thing…”

A few minutes walk from the village chief’s house, there was a building that would become the Raglan Firm’s Kaina Village branch.

“Huuh, can we really use this place?”

“Yeah. Jin has already prepared it for us!”

“I-I see. Who on earth is this Jin guy, with that castle of his…”

“Jin is, well, Jin. You won’t be able to get around this village if you let yourself be surprised by everything he does!”

“Haha, you’re right.”

Barbara and Eric’s laughter echoed in the clear summer blue sky.
