'He's insolent for a bodyguard.' She thought.

"Yes. Stay until it's time to close the store."

The man scratched his head. If he oblige, it could take an entire day. But it seemed it's more fun here than stare at landscapes with his group that's full of dogfood.

"Alright." He went back with her, and notified his tour guide of his whereabouts. He sent a message: 'I'm at the village. Please go ahead without me today.'
