Risa looked worried, her eyebrows furrowed and her forehead creased.
Leon stood beside her, watching ahead where Ethan walked with the five members of the Narrow Fate party.
"Will Ethan be okay?" Risa asked softly.
"He's been through a lot of difficult things before. This time, he'll be fine," Leon replied.
"Let's go back and wait for him at the inn," Leon added.
The girl turned around and sighed quietly. Both of them left the area in front of the equipment shop to return to the inn.
From time to time, Risa looked back and saw Ethan's figure getting smaller, until he finally disappeared from her sight.
Please be okay, Ethan.
Elsewhere, Ethan stopped walking when he arrived at a three-story building—the only one that tall, surrounded by a wide yard.
A signboard in front read Narrow Fate, the ruling guild of the village.
The door opened, revealing many party members drinking and relaxing even in the middle of the day.
