I was surprised since Greed suddenly called out through 《Mind Reading》. This guy really had a good intuition.

While I was busy with myself, Aaron put his holy sword back into its sheath and walked toward the castle.

[Now, let’s retrieve the gold from the castle, and return back. It would be bad for us to delay any longer, right?]

[That’s right! Myne is most likely very angry right now.]

[If that’s the case, let’s hurry.]

We ran through the empty boulevard. I hope that I can visit this place once more when it’s crowded with people again.

Bringing along the gold from the castle’s vault, we returned back to the village, to find an angry Myne as expected. Her eyes were brimming in red as if she’s about to explode.

[You should’ve returned yesterday! What made you returned 1 day late!?]

[That….after we defeated the Lich Lord, we went ahead and kill every skeletons in the city…..]

[I was the one who invited him to do it. My apology.]

[If you can’t even keep your promise, what make you guys any different than kids!?]

It felt really bad since the one who told us out was someone who looked so much younger than the two of us like Myne. Aaron usual dignified face looked disheartened and exhausted. It’s clear even to me that he looked like a mess at that point. Perhaps he was reflecting to himself after Myne told him off like that.

Looking at this, I had the urge to pat Aaron’s back.

[Aaron, quickly take that out]

[Oh, that’s right. Myne, here. My gratitude for protecting the village while I’m away.]

[Un….OOooooooh! !]

Myne received the bag full of coins in delight. It was the promised 50 gold with an additional 100 gold. This surprise had indeed successfully rendered her to forget her anger.

[We somehow made it]

[Umu, glad that helped. I’ll go to sleep after the meal today. I’m actually quite exhausted.]

[Me too]

The villagers had prepared the meal it seemed, considering that I can smell a delicious scent coming from Aaron’s house.

It appeared that Myne had told the villagers that Aaron went out to seal an evil being. Since they also wanted to be able to do something too, they ended up cooking the foods in preparation for our return from defeating monsters. Since we were supposed to return yesterday, Myne also mentioned that the villagers was worried because we didn’t come back as planned.

All of the villagers had returned to their house since it’s already late at night. We planned to tell them that Aaron had returned safely tomorrow.

[So, shall we go inside?]

I pulled Myne, who were smiling at the bag of gold in her hand, and went into the house. After eating to our heart contend, we went to sleep. Although Myne used my body as pillow, I didn’t even have any energy left to even bother.

In the next morning, Aaron and the villagers sent us off in the front of the repaired carriage.

Since most of the monsters coming to attack the village came from Hausen city, by helping Aaron, my achievements toward the village could be considered pretty high since the villagers were thanking me again and again. Myne also seemed to have beaten about 30 monsters or so while we were away, so she also received appreciation from the villagers.

At that point, Aaron told me something subtle.

[Fate, listen. Once you finished what you need to do in Gallia, please come back here. I have an important thing to tell you.]

[Important thing?]

[Yes, verily. I’ll tell you when the time comes. So be sure to stay alive and come back.]

He offered me a handshake afterward.

[Until next time, Fate.]

[Yes, until next time]

I shook his hand as strongly as I could and nod back to Aaron.

Let’s return here if I survive Gallia. Aaron and I only had four days this time. There was so many things left I’d like to talk about with him.

Myne looked at me and Aaron shaking our own for a while before finally saying.

[Fate, let’s go.]

[Yeah, roger that. Alright, Aaron, everyone. Thank you for having me.]

I got on the carriage, and looked out of the window. I saw them waving their goodbyes.

Aaron told me that he’ll revive the city of Hausen back. It’ll surely be a lively city in the future. I don’t know what will happen to me in Gallia, so I can only wait and see.
