Ignoring the pouting Nies, Hiiro turned the topic to Panis. Needless to say, it was about the reward.
“Now then, can I look around your store?”
“Y- Yeah, sure.”
Panis showed an empty smile by looking at Nies, who glared at Hiiro with teary eyes and his cheeks puffed out. The village chief even offered to remit his lodging fees and he gladly accepted it.
After that, he headed towards Panis’ shop, but every time he run into a villager, he was thanked. Earlier he wasn’t welcomed, but now he was like a VIP.
