“So, are you satisfied, the Champion?”

That was the question.

However, it could not say anything, for it was already dead.

The lord has escaped.

I will come back yet again. That was its promise.

“So, we have win, huh? Rey?”

He thought about something, but eventually said, “Yes. Our win.”

“Another step forward?” Lily teasingly said.

“Yes, another step forward.” Rey sighed.

“Why such a long face, Rey?” She asked.

Rey just smiled wryly at Lily with kindness in his eyes.

“Nothing.”

“Do You forget anything?”

“Nah, but I will forget it now.”

“What?!” Lily asked.

“I like to be mysterious, Lily. That is my trait as The Thief.”

“Hah?”

“You will know in time, Lily?”

“Oh, okay.”

“Promise that you will forget?”

“We will forget!!”

“Ok, then me too.”

“Me Three.”

“Alright, let’s go claim our rewards!”

“Rewards?!”

“Yes, Reward.”

“Are you really sure?”

“I am not…”

“I am sure.”

“Rey?!”

“Yes, it is the time.”

“Ok, here is the promised money, post-battle.”

“Thank you, Guild Master!” Rey gave the greatest of bow he could give.

“Don’t worry, kiddo,” The Guild Master Rubbed Rey’s head.

“Are we prepared for the next battle though, Guild Master?”

“Not really, but we will, eventually.”

“Yes, now it is a break time.”

“Ok, But please call me for the Battle again when everything is prepared.”

“You are too cheeky, Brats!”

The Guild Master laughed happily.

“What would be the next disaster, I wonder?”

Someone said.

“You will know in time.”

“Alright.”

“Also, The King has called for an Audience with you guys, Lily and Co’s”

“The King?!” Lily cried.

“Why?” Someone muttered.

“Just follow along for now, guys.”

“Alright!!!!”

And that was when, their next Mission was to find the Village of the Forest after passing The Town of The Beginning.
