Our work in the post town was going smoothly again today, and the same was true for Myme’s stall. She had asked the Ruu women to help her with her preparations in the morning, and had managed to get a hundred meals ready as a result. Selling a hundred meals would earn her two hundred red coins. Even subtracting the cost of the ingredients, that would work out to around a hundred and twenty coins of pure profit, and because of her strong sense of duty, the first thing she did with that money was repay the Fa clan for the medicine we had bought for her father.

“Thankfully, my father’s wounds have healed quite a bit. It’ll still take a long time for his leg bone to be fully fixed, but he’s gotten a lot of his energy back already,” Myme told us, with a smile that had also been restored to about eighty percent of its original brightness. The remaining twenty percent must have been due to her worries about the future.

Six days had now passed since Myme and Mikel had come to the Ruu settlement. Living together with Bartha and Jeeda seemed to be no problem for them, so the only point of concern was what would come next.

“I’m really fond of the settlement at the forest’s edge. I’d be perfectly happy if my father and I could simply keep living with Bartha and Jeeda. But it’s not going to be that simple, is it?”

Myme had heard about Shumiral by way of Bartha, so she knew how harshly an outsider trying to be accepted as a person of the forest’s edge would be scrutinized.

“Well, the reason they’re being so tough on Shumiral is because he’s trying to marry into the main Ruu house. But I was allowed to live as a member of the Fa clan without any of that.”

Still, there was a chance that I would have been driven from the forest’s edge at the previous clan head meeting if I had spent my time idly. Back then, even Jiza Ruu had strongly felt that I should live in town instead. But as guests, the standard they would be judged by wouldn’t be nearly as high. After all, Bartha and Jeeda had been living in the forest for several months already, so I wanted Myme to spend her time with us feeling carefree instead of worrying.

At any rate, we carried on with our business regardless of the drama happening behind the scenes. Our planned contract that would guarantee our supply of poitan was also steadily moving toward being finalized. I had already paid Dora eighteen silver coins for the minimum number we would need, though I was still trying to figure out what the actual quantity was ultimately going to end up being.

The Ruu clan had covered half of the advance payment, since even though the Fa clan was the one that had made it our mission to bring happiness to our fellow people of the forest’s edge, a leading clan like the Ruu couldn’t overlook the predicament we were all facing.
