After wrapping up business in the post town, we first headed over to the Ruu settlement. Sheera and Lala Ruu were on duty for the day, and they made it clear that they weren’t going to argue against us. After all, they were happy to call Mikel and Myme their friends at this point.

It didn’t take long for Donda Ruu to meet us in the main hall of his house. The men were out hunting at the moment, so Jiza Ruu and the others weren’t present. Meanwhile, Reina Ruu and most of the other women were busy with preparations for work tomorrow, so only Mia Lea Ruu was there beside him.

“I see... So it is not just bandits who commit such vicious acts in town.” Donda Ruu took a sip of chatchi tea in place of fruit wine. Even though his right shoulder was nearly healed now, he was apparently still not allowed to drink.

There were seven of us there in front of him: Ai Fa and myself, Mikel and Myme, Sheera and Lala Ruu, and Bartha, who had come running after hearing what had happened. Mikel had insisted on being here for the talks too, even though simply getting down from the wagon had caused him a lot of pain.

“So, the shameless bastards who did this are still free, even now?”

“Yes... It’s likely that even if they do live in the Turan lands, they aren’t people we know. If they were, they probably would have robbed us sooner... They must have seen me at the morning market or something, and realized how much money I was making in the post town,” Myme replied, desperately trying to hold herself together.

Donda Ruu’s eyes were blazing as he looked at the admirable young girl in front of him and snorted. “Hmph. The way you put that, it sounds like even the people you do know would have done such a thing, given the opportunity.”

“You’re right... We cannot trust everyone we’re acquainted with.”

“Hrmm. This is why you can’t trust townsfolk.”

Myme’s shoulders trembled when Donda Ruu said that, but then Ai Fa instantly chimed in, “Donda Ruu, saying it that way makes it sound like you think everyone living in town is a fiend, and that is not true. Not when it comes to these people, at the very least.”

“Nobody said it was. I can tell full well you’re angry just by looking at your eyes, but don’t go picking fights with anyone and everyone.”

Ai Fa refrained from speaking back to him about that again.

“So, what is it you want from us, Mikel of the Turan lands?”

“Like I said...” Ai Fa started.

“I’m talking to Mikel. If you can’t hold your tongue, then wait outside the house,” Donda Ruu harshly retorted, leaving my clan head to grind her teeth. It had been a while since there had been such a dangerous feeling in the air between the two of them, which was making me get pretty anxious.

“I have only one request, leading clan head Donda Ruu.
