Walking in the open fields with a soft breeze lessening the effects of the bright sun did nothing to dissuade mine and Jesen's excitement. We were off on another quest and my injuries were just scars which did not give me any doubts.
Of course we had taken the mission, there was no way we were going to deny Indicote's request. However, when I offered to give up my share of the rewards as payment for my treatment, I learned that my friends had already covered the expenses.
The village did not use traditional money, but my friends had hunted down some more lycines to pay back the villagers. The monsters were a constant bother for the small town and the nimbleness of the monster's often negated the wooden fence.
During their hunts, my friends had all leveled up and Jesen could not help but brag about all of their sudden advancements.
