Um.
Well, I should have read the mood.
But it was an exciting fight.
A cat fight.
I mean, a passionate struggle between warriors under the limelight.
No, if I make it a competition she might get mad again.
"Well, what's important in the end is be happy ~nya."
"Now I feel bad."
"It's fine ~nya. For outsiders it'll just look like a quarrel ~nya. Be happy ~nya."
With that said, Rinia covers her face.
Must be licking her wounds.
"You're not going to use healing magic?"
"These are scars of a loser, so honestly I want them gone, but I will endure it this time ~nya. These kind of things will eventually become my pride ~nya."
Do all the Beast Race I have fought treat their wounds as a source of pride?
"..."
Rinia looks to the sky in silence.
"..."
I look up as well.
Unique to the North, a grey sky as far as the eye can see.
Tonight will snow as well.
"Well, what are you going to do now?"
"From now on ~nya?"
"You said a free life, but do you have anything you want to do?"
"Yes ~nya. After traveling around for a bit, get into trade ~nya."
Trade, huh?
I have a bad feeling about this.
I think she has better chances as an adventurer.
"Any specifics?"
"Of course ~nya."
Rinia said confidently.
As long as she knows what she's doing.
No, it still feels wrong.
If she goes about it so casually, she'll get in trouble.
"If it all goes according to plan, in 5 years I can make a ton of money ~nya."
"... Well, then, if you get in trouble, come ask for my help?"
"Nyahaha. After I succeed, I'll lend money to Boss ~nya."
Rinia seems rather opportunistic even though she lost.
She might have decided on her own, but now she's no longer bound by home. She has won her freedom.
Or maybe, she's just putting up an act.
Regardless, her face reads, it's finally over.
