I couldn't leave a sleeping Maria alone in the mansion when she was in such a mental state, so I carried her on my back and took her along. Not before gulping down a potion to fix my wound though.
As I made my way back to the city, I thought more about things. About myself...
Drinking a potion to fix a small wound, that was pretty weak. Even though that wasn't my direction, my thoughts just ended up flowing that way.
Eventually, I reached the office building where I had left Keith and Dawn behind. On my way up, a person came over to me.
"OOH! Young lord! You're back!"
"Excuse me, who?"
"Y-young master, you don't remember me? You made the mayor—"
"Ah, the old man. Yes," I nodded. "Good work."
Perhaps encouraged by my recognition, another man popped out from behind the mayor.
"A-and me! Do you remember me?"
"No idea. Who are you?"
"Jim! Young master, I am your loyal Jim!"
I pursed my lips.
"Yeah, no clue."
