“Uh- Uhm…”
The village chief had no clue what was going on, gradually caught onto the current situation and looked at the defeated two once more, smiling then.
“O- Ohh…”
And then…
“YAAAAY!”
The overwhelming cheer of the villagers reached his ears. Hiiro mumbled “So noisy” with one eye closed, but no one heard him.
The village chief took his hand and thanked him in tears.
“Thank you! Thank you so much!”
“S- Sure.”
