"Ugh… I can finally move… It still hurts so badly though… If I knew how much pain this brought, I would never have made a contract with the katana." Sylvie said as she hunched over while holding her back in pain.

She currently looked like an old woman who needed support to walk around.

"I am so hungry… I must find food, otherwise, I'll die…" Sylvie said as she was starving from not eating for an entire night and up until now.

However, she stopped when she left the room. She looked around herself to get a good look at where she was currently.

"Right… We are at an inn right now… We didn't bring any food. Guess I have to go to the stalls for some food…" Sylvie muttered to herself as she slowly walked down the inn floors in pain.

"Good afternoon little girl." The innkeeper said when she saw Sylvie walk down the stairs.

"Good afternoon…" Sylvie said weakly as she held on the walls coming down slowly.

"Are you okay?" The innkeeper asked her worriedly.

"I am okay… My body just hurts. It's like I pulled a muscle or something. If I do nothing it won't hurt." Sylvie said as she looked at the innkeeper.

"Oh, what do you want to eat? It looks like you'll die before you even get to the stalls by the way you're walking." The innkeeper said as she helped her get to a couch that had a table in front of it.

"Thanks… Anything light will do." Sylvie said as she doubted that she could chew on anything much if moving was a pain.

"Alright, I'll make you some soup. Just sit there and it'll come soon." The innkeeper said as she went to the back where the kitchen was to make soup for Sylvie.

'Haiz, at least the people here are still nice. I would probably drop dead from all the pain the moment I walked out of this inn.' Sylvie thought to herself.

'I just want to lay down… Even sitting hurts. My spine hurts so much…' Sylvie thought as she winced in pain when she tried to adjust herself to a better position.

"Alright, here is your soup. You don't have to chew at all, I didn't include anything like that. It is basically just the broth and some small soft ingredients." The innkeeper said as she placed a bowl of soup in front of Sylvie.

"Thank you." Sylvie said as she took the bowl of both hands before slowly bringing it to her lips to taste.

"Mm," Sylvie obviously liked the taste of the soup as she slowly drank it bit by bit.

After doing that for a while, she was finally done drinking all the soup.

"Wow! You must've been hungry huh little girl? Do you want anymore?" The innkeeper asked her.

"No thanks, I am full now." Sylvie said as she didn't really have a big appetite.

"Oh well then, you can just lay there for now. I doubt you could make it all the way up the stairs to your room again without falling down the stairs." The innkeeper said.

'The truth hurts… But yes.' Sylvie thought inside her head as she laid on the couch.
