"Luke, we heard from Seraphina about your heroic deeds," Beatrice started, giving me a soft smile, and I felt my throat suddenly go dry.

"We can't thank you enough for rescuing our dear sister from those...bandits."

The rest of the sisters chimed in, "Yes, Luke. You have our sincerest gratitude." Their voices were genuinely grateful, each expression filled with heartfelt thanks.

"I, uh, it wasn't anything, really. Just doing my job as an Adventurer," I managed to stammer out, trying my best to play it down.

I couldn't handle their intense gratitude, and it was making me feel weirdly guilty for some reason.

'Their innocence and good natures spirits are too blinding. Honestly… they're too innocent!'

"We do not take such actions lightly, Luke," Cecilia added solemnly, "Rest assured, the Lyma family is indebted to you, and you will be compensated generously."

'Now that's what I'm talking about!' My heart soared.
