I crossed mountains and valleys—okay, not really, I just ran really hard along the road—as I made my way to South Strag.

I didn’t know if it was because I was using physical enhancement more often, or if my unpleasant experience with muscle pain had had an actual effect on my body, but I was currently in good condition. For instance, I noticed that I’d been able to keep running past places where I had stopped to rest the last time.

It’s just a little further to South Strag.

As I was debating with myself whether it was about time to take a break, the city gates came into view. Ultimately, I made it all the way there without ever stopping.

“I’ll take it as a sign I’m growing. Hee hee hee...”

Now if my body would just mature too, I’d have no complaints. Sadly, there’s been no sign of that for a while now, though!

I’d like just a little more height, at least. I’ve already given up on people not seeing me as a kid anymore, but it’s hard working like this.

“It’s okay. There’s still hope... But right now, the more important thing is that I need to hurry!”

My first destination was picking up the wood for the refrigerator and freezer. Geberk-san was the one who was actually going to be working with it, so my job was just to drop off our order with the lumber merchant.

I took care of that real quick, and then moved on to Leonora-san’s shop.

“Welco...wait, it’s Sarasa. I knew you’d be all right.”

When I opened the door to the shop, which was kept as clean as ever, Leonora-san looked a little surprised to see me, but smiled once she did.

“Long time no see... What do you mean, you knew I’d be all right?”

“The gatherers from Yok Village were making a huge fuss. They said the place was done for.”

“Ohh, this is about the hellflame grizzly frenzy, huh?”

There were a good number of people who fled, so I guess it only makes sense that rumors like that would get around, huh? And as for the fact that we successfully fended off the attack... Huh? Has word of that not reached them yet?

“Yeah. Well, even if I didn’t put much stock in their stories, I knew that the village was definitely in danger, but I also knew that you were there. So I wasn’t all that worried.”

“I appreciate your confidence in me, but I can’t pull off the kind of nonsense that Master is capable of, okay?”

I’m sure her confidence in me must come from how famous Master is, but I’m not Master, so if she expects too much of me, I’m not going to be able to live up to that.

“By the way, what are you here to sell today?”

After a moment’s pause, I reluctantly said, “Hellflame grizzly materials.”

“I’ll bet. How many of them were there?”

“Twenty-eight.”

“And you killed them all, Sarasa?” Leonora-san asked in awed exasperation. I hurriedly shook my head.

“Hardly. I only killed eight of them. The gatherers and villagers worked hard to take care of the rest.
