Episode 25.8-9 (1/2)
”Thank you so much for all your hard work.”
Lady Sushana spoke as she handed over a soft-looking towel.
Once Lecan got back to town lord after settling the masons versus carpenters dispute, more trouble kept cropping up one after another and he had to go around everywhere to deal with them.
He went to a scene of quarrels, and beat down both parties concerned.
He went to a crash site, and made the side at fault promise to compensate.
He would use <Recovery> to anyone injured.
He also cast <Recovery> on the town lord.
He would lift and carry away broken carts.
Literally anything he could do.
He didn't meddle with matters outside his expertise.
For instance, he didn't go to a robbery case.
He stayed silent on issues regarding arranging materials or working procedures as well.
The situation won't improve even if he goes there.
There's no point spending times in things you're helpless at.
”Yeah.”
After wiping his sweat, he took a bottle of liquor on a shelf, poured it in a silver cup and gulped it down.
It's a good booze.
”In the end, Lecan-sama never had the lunch, have you?”
Sushana had prepared Lecan lunch, but a bloody accident came up and he had to run there, thus he never had the chance to taste it.
”Yea. I munched on some jerky I got.”
”My.”
A bad mannered act like eating while walking is probably outside of Sushana's imagination.
”Now that Litton is back, I'm taking my leave.”
”Eh? No, umm. We have dinner prepared for you.”
”I'll have dinner ready at home. No worries.”
After bidding farewell to Sushana who was still trying to keep him there, Lecan left.
He couldn't wait to eat Eda's cooking and drank some booze at home.
Her repertoire has seen a huge increase lately. Eda is smoothly getting better at all kinds of homeowner-related abilities.

The following day, Lecan practiced <Barrier> from morning to afternoon at Shira's place.
Focusing so much energy into stuff you just can't do with no clear grasp as to how is an extremely tiring feat.
The exhausted Lecan dropped by Norma's medical center.
Norma was in the middle of her house call round with Eda, but they eventually got back while Lecan was watching the garden.
”Come again. The town lord's daughter personally served you tea?”
”Yea. Must be her way of saying thanks.”
”Lecan. Was there not a woman's room next to the room you were told to stay at?”
