Commander Vale didn't let the accident cause an uproar to the palace. Some of the two familiar knights, and Commander Vale came to the physician's room with us to be treated.

"The cut is really deep," The physician clicked his tongue. "How did you get this?"
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8kQzpwCJF1
"My brooch." The hero answered, we didn't expect him to. "I already threw it away." Even now while explaining, he seemed mad and upset.
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcGyxV5XSCI
After arriving here in a small Imperial physician's place, the hero insisted that I should be treated first instead of his damned foot. Of course, it was unacceptable since it's the hero who should be treated first, but seeing his roots almost popping off his head, we're all scared and uncomfortable up to our bones.
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzMFpIkKw4z
Even the two knights were only looking down.
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVRonpOphsq
"What really happened?" The physician asked.
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJWEs0FY0vp
Commander Vale was the one who was supposed to answer, but the hero angrily interrupted. "I didn't know the palace is this shabby and unrenovated. If someone wanted to die, one could come here. This is basically accident prone place, not a palace."
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGpDqilXsVx
We were all silenced by his long comment, given the fact that he's not like this in the throne hall while speaking with the emperor. The longest reply he gave was almost ten words.
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHOPpysahoP
"W-We apologized for that ruckus, Sir..." One of the knights bowed. "We'll make sure that all your concerns be delivered."
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHQrv4TLnsa
He didn't reply nor look at the knights, but stared at was being treated: my hand.
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOrPBfuRFnU
After my treatment and the hero's foot are now being treated, Commander Vale looked at me with much worry. He told me to come out of the room so we can talk.
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOYLlNHH1mS
"Are you hurt somewhere too? Is your arms and head alright?"
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAVvVNczkJ5
I nod. "Only this hand. Beside this, nothing hurts at all." My voice shakes. "I'm sorry, Commander Vale. I just wanted to warn you and the hero for that nail."
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzk4LDPlcvC
"It is no one's fault at all, child. Now you need to go back to Madam Pearl's inn to rest. Come back tomorrow, or don't---go back when your hand's healed. I'll tell the knights to bring you medicine tomorrow."
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4kxgorlRXe
I breathe, "Madam Pearl already locked her small in, it's past her curfew and I get into her nerves...I was really planning to wander off after this...but..."
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8NzorXPYfI
Commander Vale sighed and rubbed his temple. "Then go to my room at the Knight's headquarters. Sleep there, since it's my duty all night."
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHaejKoUBlc
He gave me the key as I bid my goodbyes.
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDV0vpnQ9kT
I didn't get a chance to say farewell to the hero.

"What the fuck..." Some knights cursed as soon as they saw my hand after waking up from the knight's headquarters.
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtJhzmxg0Ky
"What happened to that?!"
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBeccz5SUzR
"Small scratch," I answered. "I can still do errands!"
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwj3akIWHze
"She will not." I came tense as I heard Commander Vale entered the headquarters. "Child, take this medicine and go back to the inn. Don't wander around this week until your hand is somewhat healed."
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGsD34JJJr1
"Commander, it's less hurting now---"
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEwM8BETi8B
"No. Go back. Say that to me after a week of rest."
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjZWae3FkWp
All of our mouth has been shutted. The knights and dames look away to avoid my pitying gaze and the Commander's glances.
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkWBpcjVHkl
"I- I think you should go back for now, don't worry about the errands." Dame Yura awkwardly beamed.
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJHj4UXcWmY
I bowed my head as I said my goodbyes to the knights.
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl0xFKm0lwy
Leaving the headquarters and walking through the streets, I got worried thinking about the hero's condition. Whether his foot hurt stinging, or if I protected his head enough for it to not ache. On my way to the inn, I was only looking down. He's all the empire's savior, and I was thinking if I did do that deed good enough. People want him safe and secured while he protects.
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFdw23Vj4g8
"What happened with that hand?! Is that why you never go home last night?! You're getting into my nerves again! Now what are your reason this time?" My eardrums screamed in pain as I entered the inn. Madam Pearl's mouth run through echos once again after seeing me.
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBQbfWoeV9Y
"It's just a little scratch, Madam...And I'm in the knight headquarters last night." I explained.
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEUevNYoGlT
"Well, yeah?! Wait---knight headquarters??? Did you greet the hero???" Her complexion changed from being mad to being surprised.
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6IR9yfkJqG
"Heh...sort of, I guess?" I scratched my cheek.
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7drwzozciP
"Oh, what is he like then?!" Madam Pearl hold both of my shoulders. I begin to think of a plan escaping her.
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC9CLp1Xfc0
"I don't know, Madam. I need to go to my room now!" I took a chance of her loose hold and run upstairs to go to my room and lock it.
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlXdSxYjjqb
I heard Madam Pearl's complains and shouting words, but I was more thankful from my escape from her.
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡopkDtEyAZt
My tenement room is small, but I like it this way. I can always see and notice my things if it's been touch by someone who dared to enter the room. I can also clean less because I'm really lazy to do things sometimes.
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt4zS7ZhYDN
I jumped off to my bed. Despite me sleeping for 8 hours, I can't help get a sense of tiredness. I don't feel hungry at all. And before I knew it, my conciousness disappears.
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA5coGMn3EB
It's too late to do things for this day when I realized I've been asleep for almost a whole day. I woke up with the dragons in my stomach screaming for me to feed them. I weakly grab my pouch of silver coins and open the door to grab some dinner outside. I managed to escape Madam Pearl's eyes 'cause she's talking to the gardener of the tenement.
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpEDup8HHb3
I don't have the energy for her loud voice now that I'm hungry. I quickly run to the marketplace to buy some street foods, pawning my appetite.
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKgwFTGCsx9
The night festival is still on-going, and here I am eating in a stall wondering what the knights are doing. The headquarters are always almost in chaos if I don't do errands. I'm sure that if I come back there, that headquarters will stink with clothes that they disrobe in the corner, the armours were not be in place, and the place will be a pub.
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxsomhEosiS
I hope they survive without me running errands for them.
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfT0TV3mV4N
I blankly walked around the plaza as if I'm a knight who's tasked supervising the area. I played some games at other stand stalls, spending my silver coins. In the end, I won one brown teddy bear. The maker of this bear must somehow adores cats. It looks like one.
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoN7OtZHiMT
But my palm hurts a lot because of my own stubbornness.
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoGWAkNvgvJ
As I turned around, I saw a glimpse of an eye staring right through me five steps away from where I am standing. I saw a face, and I'm trying to familiarize just where I've seen it.
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS0bv4WrgsK
I prevented becoming tense as I've realized.
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWSa37LT9v4
"S-Sir???"
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnqrBexnhHb
He's wearing a knight armour that some certain metals clang when his shoulders dropped. He blinked as he walked towards me. I bowed my head.
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBrBdFSp0H5
"Haven't you got any companion this time of the night? It would be really troublesome if you walk alone around." I said after bowing my head.
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsQzRVjyBWf
He stopped. "I've been permitted to stroll around alone."
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaDQeT5bAOa
"I-Is that so?"
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhNE7hC88db
He nodded. "How is your palm? Thank you for catching me below the stairs last night. I haven't got to say my gratitudes."
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBpFMygwCpT
"Oh," I showed him my injured and bandaged left palm. "I'll be alright in a few days, Sir. There's nothing to worry about. I always recover quickly."
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgbf3Bn5WSf
I heard him sighed, his eyes glittered. "I'm trying to find you everywhere."
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6maqpN4jhX
"M-Me?" I was taken aback. He didn't answered so I scratch my cheeks and spoke. "W-Well, Commander Vale told me to go to my place. I was meant to come back at the palace after this week, Sir. But I guess you won't stay here that long. I was just happy that I can do something for you, you don't need to formally give your gratitude, I'm just a mere commoner."
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxAdG0uXC6m
"No---I, I want to thank you," He took something out of his brown pouch bag. "Here," He handed a liquid thing waving inside a small potion bottle.
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTJi3T1sZRr
"Uhh---is it a potion?"
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhmnsw2FWGt
"It's a medicine. It's from my acquaintance, it's effective. Drink it."
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNcaXITxv0i
"Is your acquaintance a physician?"
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJAOLXckspJ
He slowly shook his head. "He's a healing wizard."
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs6Wl4bo2x4
My eyes widened. If this potion is from a healing wizard, I'm sure it would cause almost a hundred gold!
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBLdG2d7pOU
My shoulders dropped. "U-Uhh, have you bought this, Sir?"
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkM8D4FKUco
"No. He gave it to me."
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvxogGbnUWV
"I don't think..."
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIehSc4WiML
"I haven't spend any pounds on that, it's simply just a medicine that he give. And I want to give it to you. It's just a small thing."
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrAz9ynPQZf
"It costs a hundred gold, Sir. If you were to ask me, instead of drinking this thing, I think I'll want to sell it." I said, voice shaking.
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNj0yWAB9uz
He stared at me. "You...?"
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtgvaOncrz9
"Here, Sir,"
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIHkCEvltqj
"No, do what you want." He brushes his hair. "Just take it as a gift. I really don't need it."
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPsayOZG2io
"Thank you, Sir!"
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQfqRpJVluL
He nodded.
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCATLWN0c1M
"Uhm, where are you headed to now, Sir?" I asked.
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡajwCtrTGoh
He slowly turned his head to look around. "I don't know. Probably I'll go back to the palace, I have a hunt at Terao Forest for tomorrow."
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ836psVIPwc
"Oh, that," I nodded. "Then, was your injured foot alright now?"
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrV5QrwxpMJ
"It's healed. Don't think about it."
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4hpJWfkgek
I smiled. "Alright. Thank you for this medicine, Sir. I'm going to my place now!"
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrtYsOnZI0f
He just look at me as I turned my back.
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBa9agNCNqo
"Wait---"
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkqZP9hQ8rT
"Sir?" I turned back.
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkhnu6otAdF
"W-Will I see you around if I come back here?"
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFfZYnSgN8J
I nod and smile. "Certainly! I can tour you around, Sir!"
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhWa2ukK6on
He blinked. I immediately got taken aback when I saw his lips curved and saw how his eyes smiled too. "Can you tour me tomorrow?"
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBVITYf8TNr
"Just as I said, Sir. Count on me!"
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF59J0LDE4l
"Alright. Bye."
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡejcZrvH7h7
I waved my hands before I walk away and go back to my inn.
