Once I had finished talking business with the mayor, I walked around the village to take stock of the situation.

I was incapacitated so soon after what happened, I’d only really heard other people talking about it, but...yeah, looks like Andre-san and his team managed to save the villagers’ houses.

There had been a lot of damage to the houses that were rented out to gatherers, but those were the communal property of the village.

The village could pay for the repairs, and no one was going to be immediately bothered by it if they were left in their current state.

Lots of gatherers had left, so it wasn’t like anyone was staying in them now.

The fences we had built hastily for the defense were dismantled, and a new one went up to replace them at the border between the forest and the village.

Maybe this incident made them more aware of the danger?

It’s a really rare occurrence, though... Probably.

I don’t know this village that well, so I can’t say for sure.

As I walked around the village, there was one thing that I noticed had really changed.

“Thank you, Sarasa-chan!”

“Oh, don’t thank me, we all worked together.”

“Sarasa-chan, thanks to you, my husband came home safe! Here, take this with you!”

“Th-Thank you.”

“You alchemists sure are incredible. Oh, what’s that? That’s not enough for a meal. Here, eat this too.”

“R-Right. Thanks...”

I’d always made a point of greeting the villagers before this, but now they called out to me on their own. And it wasn’t just the ones I passed on the road. People would stop their work in the field to come over to talk to me.

They gave me stuff too.

Like the crops they were growing.

Is this because of my hard work too?

Well, I’m just glad the village has accepted me.

This place isn’t like the capital, so I don’t know what to do sometimes, but that’s not a bad thing, right?

Still... What am I going to do with this armful of produce?

“Welcome ho—What’s all that you have there?”

“Okay, Lorea-chan! You handle these!”

Lorea-chan found me stuck, unable to open the door to my house. I promptly pushed half my burden into her surprised arms.

“Oh, I see...everyone’s really grateful to you. I think anyone who was there knows we couldn’t have handled it without you.”

“I’m grateful to hear it, but it’s still embarrassing, being thanked that way.”

I wasn’t used to it. I’d never gotten involved with other people before.

“But we still can’t cook here yet... Will you take them, Lorea-chan?”

“Okay. In that case, I’ll cook these up, and bring them back. They’re gifts people wanted you to have, after all.”

“Thank you so much! I wasn’t sure what I was going to do with the ones that can’t just be eaten as-is.”

While I could bake a potato in the furnace I have in the workshop if I really had to... I’d rather not.

“But do try to make a kitchen soon, okay? Then I’ll be able to cook here,” Lorea-chan said emphatically.

“Yes, ma’am!” I answered with a salute.

“But I think processing the pelts has to come first.
