Prelude of monster invasion

'Looking at the condition of the letter, it seems it has been there for months now. Perhaps grandfather left here right after I went to the Academy.'

'I hope grandfather is safe wherever he is right now.'

Jem heaved a sigh before deciding to keep the letter. It was his grandfather's memento. After that, he stood up and went to his room, bringing with him the energy lamp.

'Hm, it's fixed?'

The broken door of his room returned to normal.

'Thank you, grandpa.'

He whispered in his mind as he touched the door.

When morning came, rather than letting the grains go to waste, Jem decided to visit Mr. Barn and asked his help in harvesting the grains.

Of course, it wasn't a nonprofitable help. He would be giving him a commission.

"I see. Sure, let me help you with that. By the way, Jem. Have you found that Oldman?"

Jem shook his head. "No. But he left a letter saying he went to visit an old acquaintance."
