“So that’s what happened.”

“O-Oh...”

Lacey walked alongside Wayne and told him on impulse about what had happened just a week ago. She’d wondered how much would be okay to say, but she’d ended up blurting out the whole story. If she covered up one part, it’d cause a contradiction elsewhere. Rather than invent a poor fabrication, she’d compulsively just told the truth.

In light of what he’d said about not giving out the medicinal herbs to just anyone, it was difficult to confess what she’d done with the plants. But if the same thing ever happened again, Lacey would most likely keep doing the same thing.

“Well, you did it to save people. It couldn’t really be helped,” Wayne murmured with his arms folded, having seen through Lacey’s reasoning.

He was the hero, as hard as it was to believe sometimes. He’d gone on a quest to save the common people. Even though it had been a result of his political obligations as a noble, he was still kindhearted by nature.

When she heard what Wayne had to say, Lacey inhaled softly. Still, she’d really been imprudent this time. I know it was an emergency, but there was probably a smarter way to go about it, she thought to herself as she kept pace with Wayne.

“So, where exactly are we headed?”

“Well, I thought we could go receive my compensation.”

She’d been desperate at the time, and having Allen nearby had helped, but voluntarily going to crowded places made her nervous. So when she’d told Wayne that she’d be okay if he was there with her, he’d made an extremely inscrutable expression and patted the top of Lacey’s head with a troubled sigh.

“What’s our destination? That kid Allen’s house?”

“No, not there... I think it’s that way. That’s what I was told.”

At the edge of the village beyond Allen’s house, in the opposite direction of Lacey’s mansion, there stood a somewhat aged house. Lacey called for the phoenix sitting on top of her head to come down and then took off her hat.

“Excuse me...”

The house looked dim and time-worn at first glance, but when they entered, they unexpectedly found it filled with a cheerful assembly of villagers. Of course, Allen and his father Kargo were among them. They were both seated and having a good time, but Allen immediately noticed Lacey come in. His father was a moment behind him.

“Lacey! And...who’s that?”

Wayne gave a sunny smile and waved one hand. If he had to respond with a lie, he’d rather not say anything at all. That was Wayne’s style. It was all well and good that Lacey had brought him along, but she hadn’t thought about how she’d explain who he was.

“Er...” she put a hand to her mouth and thought.

Allen clapped his hands together, interrupting her. “I know! He’s your boyfriend!”

“No...”

“C’mon, don’t be shy. Your escort’s pretty handsome.”

“Heh heh, you bet.” Wayne smirked and puffed out his chest. As a matter of fact, Wayne presently had concealment magic cast on himself to disguise his identity. By nature,
