Episode 27.17 (1/2)
In the end, there was barely anyone who came to Vouka looking for Shira.
This was due to Guide Skalabel and his entourage spreading news about her disappearance in towns they passed by.
Many personages expressed their interest to meet Eda through the town lord, Crimus Ulban, however.
Eda would generally turn down such requests. Furthermore, after consulting with Norma, she decided to charge one big gold coin per casting of
.
No one will pay one big gold coin for one session no matter how rich they are. Those who suffer serious injury or illness can just resort to <Recovery>. Besides, the true value of
is made apparent after successive casting.
In the end, not one soul sought Eda's
.
Several town lords' messengers requested an audience with Eda through Crimus. For these kinds of requests, she would go meet them at the town lord's mansion.
Vantaroy town lord's messenger said this to Eda.
”Watching over you was a task Guide Skalabel entrusted to my lord. We shall regularly send someone to check on you, please feel free to turn to them should you need anything. Ensuring your continued freedom impeded by no one is Guide Skalabel's wish.”
This was in fact a form of warning to Crimus. An indirect statement by Vantaroy's town lord to him, 'We're always monitoring your actions'.
Requests for Eda's <Recovery> had dried up as well. At the end of the day, one gold coin fee is just not affordable. Noble houses would have someone with <Recovery> under them, while the wealthy and merchants could just go to the temples for <Recovery>. As the monetary offering for it doubly serves as charity, receiving <Recovery> at the temple is more preferable to them.
Their neighbors also found out about Eda being a user of
who was also a savior of <Herb Saint> Skalabel, and while they were a bit bewildered at first, they treated her like they did before after some time.
There was a period of time when groups of people tried to push their way to see Eda, but they went right home with a glare from Lecan.
Jericho would go out during daytime despite living in Lecan's and Eda's house. They went to Shira's house. Cleaning up the house and tending the herb garden.

Arios came back four days after herb saint's departure.
Arios resumed tutoring Eda on defensive stance as well as gait style using short swords, but after a while, he declared that Eda didn't seem able to learn <Stealth Step>.
The three's light armors were finally done early on month ten, way later than initially scheduled.
Eda's light armor is made to emphasize flexibility and speed, bearing a vivid blue color.
As for Lecan's and Arios's, the important parts like the chest area, shoulder pads, knee guard are blue colored, while all other parts are red.
They also got paid for the Great Octocular Spiders' materials. Totaling in a large sum of 19 platinum (white gold) coins excluding the fee for the armor. It was split among the three. Arios also got the payment for his Queen's Venom, but Lecan didn't pay attention to the amount. He was not interested. But Arios handed him five small bottles with Queen Venom inside nonetheless.
”I'm sharing them.”
Eda has started to accept quests at the Adventurer's Association. There were times where she would take on the quests alone, and times where she would go with a party of young adventurers. By young here is around 15, so they're technically older than Eda, but they were none the wiser. Eda is famous as a gold rank adventurer now, and the fact that she looks like a young girl she is appears to have quite an distinctive impact.
Lecan went to two dungeons.
The first one was a small dungeon to the north of Skerus. The dungeon only had 12 floors, but he had some fun.
The other one was Dungeon Golbul. One night, he had the urge to fight the Greatarm Ogre.
He quickly went in the dungeon, quickly beat the ogre, and quickly dashed out. Commander Doug was waiting for him outside, so he greeted him, showed him a glimpse of the dungeon item and went back to Vouka right away.
