However, even in this gentle at s impression on Kei
“Now, Jessica Since you’re all full, go play with your friends”
“What about you, Grandpa?”
“We’ll play together later For now I have to talk with this young man”
“Hmm~… Okay”
She was surprisingly understanding She jumped out of her chair and scurried outside
“…She’s such a cute granddaughter”
“She certainly is,” Bennett nodded vigorously and grunted in approval
Tina quickly cleared the table She then used water she’d boiled in advance to pour everyone a cup of tea before excusing herself “I’ll go wash the dishes”
Only the entle, happy atmosphere naturally turned tense
“Now then, Kei-dono How are your wounds?” Bennett inquired as he sat down across from Kei
“Much better now Tina just treated me to a delicious meal and it see his injured cheek, recalling the pain
“I’lad to hear it Her special salve works wonders However, it certainly can’t compare to your potions”

“Not at all, I appreciate the help Thank you”

“Oh, I see” Bennett hit his pal, but it looked scripted, as if he’d entirely anticipated this “Does it have to do with the bandits from yesterday? You were too exhausted for ht”
“I apologize”
“Don’t worry about it Please let us hear what happened”
“Of course”

“Wiped out…” Bennett ainst that many, but to entirely annihilate the at Kei, it was obvious from the amount of blood that he had killed a number of people
“I see I understand… That place is near the Rocky Mountain, correct?”
“Yes”
“And what of their bodies?”
“I just left thes, but I didn’t have ti”
Danny and Bennett’s eyes sparkled and they involuntarily grinned for athat Kei understood what direction this conversation was taking
“In that case, we should s, shouldn’t we?”
“…Yes, probably I’ll guide you there”
“Good, however, Kei-dono, you’re probably tired froht We should let you rest peacefully today”
“Yes, since we know that it was around the Rocky Mountain, there’s no need for you to cohts
“My horse is still there too, so I’d like to go so I can mourn properly” Now they wouldn’t be able to tell him not to come
“I see Well, if that’s the case…”
“Oh uide us, Kei-dono”
“Of courseI’ve caused plenty of trouble for the village; I feel obligated to do at least this much”
