Seeing her head in the direction of the dormitories reminded me of something.
"What are you gonna do now that your dormitory is destroyed?"
"Oh, that? They paid to give all of us 5-star hotel rooms in the capital."
Oh, so I, the hero, get to sleep in a small dorm room while the "victims" who ran away at the first sign of danger get an all-expense-paid vacation?
Blasphemy, I say!
As night was nearing, the streets were crowded with tourists heading to the front gates, so Ruby used the forest shortcut to get to the main gate.
Walking through the forest, trailing slightly behind Ruby, reminded me of the first few days I had spent on the mountain range, looking for the Dragon's Eye.
When times had been much simpler...
Sure, I was powerless and weak, and one slight wrong move could result in my death from a monster... but at least death was my only worry.
