Beep Beep Beep!

-Quest complete: Check your inventory for your rewards-

”Yes! I got a card from the monster and now I got two more for completing the quest? This just can't get any better!” Leo shouted out as he started to pick how he would use the three cards he now had.

No longer appearing to be such a heroic figure, Natalia quickly stood up with a frown on her face. While Natalia stood up, Martin and Jack also started to take the steps they needed to in order to recover from their wounds and exhaustion.

”Sweet! I now have the rage skill from the bear and two small red potions that will apparently recover my vitality.”excited from his gains, Leo couldn't help but to jump up and down like a little kid.

”Um.... sir?” finally close to Leo, Natalia called out to him, trying to remain respectful to her savior.

”Huh?” turning around to face Natalia, Leo made eye contact with her and did not know how to react. The villagers from before showed him the true nature of humans, and he did not know what to expect from this group.

”I wanted to thank you for helping us slay that monster. Although, we are not in the position to accept anything from its corpse, I hope that you are willing to help give us something?” Natalia asked without holding anything back.

Though their group was saved by Leo jumping in, it was still their group that fought the monster and even sustained many wounds and exhaustion. Therefore, Natalia's request was not something that Leo felt was out of place or too overbearing.

”To be honest, I already took what I wanted from the corpse, so the rest is all yours.” replied Leo as he tried to appear to be struggling with what Natalia had suggested to him. Leo felt that if he pretended to be making a difficult decision, that the group around him now, would respect him that much more.

”Oh?” caught off guard from Leo's response, Natalia bowed once more to Leo as she quickly began to store away different parts of value that the corpse had.

What shocked Natalia, was that nothing appeared to be missing from the corpse in front of her. Part of being able to go out into these parts with a group, requires a specific amount of requirements which includes some of the anatomy of monsters that appear more frequently.

”Sir, I hope that you could join us in eating some of the meat from the monster. Of course, you will not be required to help cook anything, you have already given us enough assistance earlier.” Natalia told Leo as Martin slowly walked over to sit down on a log.

”Natalia, I am not sure if you know any recovery magic, but Jack over there is looking rather pale. If you do not, we will need to backtrack back to the city so that we can get his wounds properly treated.” Martin told Natalia with Leo still listening closely.
