Leah's Decision

"How did your mission go, everyone?" Miss Zara questioned Yuan and his wives, a kind smile on her lips, as soon as they arrived at the inn.

"Everything went smoothly. We finished the mission with no problems." Lily responded with a sweet smile.

"I see… All that counts is that you returned safely.

She then inquired, "By the way, what kind of mission did you complete?" Was it a quest to defeat a powerful magical monster? Or maybe it was an escort mission?"

Anna Grace moved forward with a little smile on her face and said, "Well, it was a mission that required us to visit the Darkwood Forest and capture a monster, then bring the monster here, alive if possible."

Miss Zara's expression went blank when she heard this; she blinked a few times, almost as if she couldn't believe what she had heard, and her look quickly shifted to one of shock and disbelief.

"T-Th-The Darkwood Forest?!" She spoke, her eyes wide open with amazement.
