“Isn’t it too much?”
“Nope, it's fine… I’m grateful for saving us earlier. Without you in the bar, Something really bad might happen. Just think this as a token of my appreciation.”
“I don’t exactly save you… My target is the Fire demon. I just happened to kill those bastards.”
“Still, you’re my hero… Same with my grandfather.”
Turning my glance to the old man outside driving the horses.
“Is it really fine to travel at the night? Monsters are commonly active in these hours.”
