–And it was time to rest. The party had worked hard today. Naturally, resting was on everyone's mind.

Leader hinted she should be resting too. Big sis' intended to get to the healing house, first. Leader pointed it was kind of her … with hesitation.

"Tai, it isn't your fault, you know."

Breathing in and out, "But … as the party leader, no, I should've known better. You know it doesn't–"

"–Kindly stop this, Tai. We all do our best. Don't blame yourself over what happened today."

"…"

"Okay?"

"Don't worry about me, Leana."

"Mm-hm. I worry, and you don't worry."

Be it due to a sudden lack of words or a simple wish to maintain his lips pressed together, Leader didn't reply a word and only bitterly smiled.

No good, no good. Whatever had been on his mind, Babe truly was determined and strong-willed on getting it off his chest.

Shaking her head, she began again:

"And, you know, Tai … goblins aren't all that bad, after all," and giggling amusingly at her own remark, she continued, "we just have to take our time and stack up experience … just the way we've been doing it up till now, yes?"

And she pierced through that shell enveloping the man's heart. But it was all the same.

"Tell me you won't blame yourself, otherwise I might as well never leave you alone at all, you know."

He didn't appear to be willing to agree with Babe.

Though he knew he had to, eventually. His eyes withdrew and met with the living grass beneath himself, he only scoffed at this and laughed silently.

But maybe did the full of life and water green grass lit up some sparks of hopefulness within the man's exposed heart because, "You know, Leana…

"In all this turmoil and … (well, let's simply say turmoil, yes) I'm grateful to at least have you guys as friends and partners."

Giggling again all the more happily by that declaration, "And you know we are too, Leader Tai, yes?"

"Hm," now shaking his head to himself, "thank you, really–oh, and well, speaking of thanks … there's that little guy over there too. I shouldn't let myself down."

–And there goes my time, finally, at last.

Where is this headed to?

"Right, so you recognized him too, Tai. I've just met him by chance … but ugh, let's not talk about how we met … nasty boy!"

"Oh, hahaha? Well, let's not talk about it, yeah."

So, not only Clumsy Babe, but also Leader had recognized me.

And maybe even Mindful Slug, while we're at it. He who is so mindful must've recognized me, hm.

I kind of feel bad not to recognize any of them, though.

At this point, I'm not gonna lie too, I don't know myself why I've been staying here, observing them all the long in my silence and expectation.

I mean, of course this has something to do with the System … but well, what?

And if I recall correctly now, wasn't that only labeled as 'Additional Quest'?

Maybe it isn't so important, since it's only additional.

No, no, it must be having importance. Even if it's slight.

Well, well, well.

Thinking that I've been staying here up till now nonetheless and waited for something to happen, I guess if I left right now; all my time here would've been for nothing.

Yes, yes.

That, and maybe I liked the sensation of these fingers on the top of my shoulders and neck.

It feels good, I'm enjoying it.

And maybe I didn't simply want to part with my clumsy babe, at this point, heh.

I don't know, I don't know. Either way, I've stayed up till now–let's stay more.

My head, then again, slid to the side and looked above of itself.

There, lied her face still. She giggled a little bit as her red, plump lips arched up at me. She made a nod with her head.

And responding to her, my head nodded too.

I didn't even know why it did that, my head. I didn't think about it much. It just about nodded too, when my lips stayed still.

Nor did I know how was I to act, here.

Deciding I'd just be acting passively without changing a thing–my head then ended its stretching and slid back down in place.

Casually chatting with Clumsy, Leader was just about standing there in front of her while I was in between the two of them.

And now, it'd been his time to kneel down in order to bring himself to my height.

So, what did he want?

Is the quest doing the thing, as usual?

He first cleared his throat, "First off, thank to you too, little man."

Hm?

One knee upon the ground resting right next to his planted feet, with both hands he seized mine.

My left hand wasn't the one that had been gripping on the stinking Chief Orc's head, so naturally, he seized this one.

And then … simply shook it? Once, then twice. Up and down, and up and down. He shook my hand firmly.

Yes, he did that. And that's the first time someone does that to me. It felt off and weird, I wanted him to stop that, it was annoying, but I understood right away what that was about.

It was simply something people did, sometimes, for some reason, greeting or thanking themselves.

In response to that, instead of showing repulsion and annoyance towards that gesture, I simply shook my head as to say 'no.'

They kept saying that, but I mean, I have no recollections whatsoever of me helping them.

So, it doesn't count.

Was just playing funnily, obviously.

I don't wanna be thanked over this.

"And … that dude you just encountered?–he's just a little meanie, sorry again if he's yelled at you, it wasn't proper–but forgive him, okay?"

"Forgive him, okay."

I simply mechanically repeated the end of his line–I agreed with him.

And, as to be honest yet again, I didn't even think of that yelling at me as something wrong or whatever.

Plainly, I didn't think about it.

"That's a very good boy, now!"

"Hehe, yeah, thank you again, little man…" and then what? It weren't now my babe's hands that were resting on my shoulders, but his.

Eww.

Old expressed his disgust this way, right? Yes, he did!

I didn't express any disgust, though. Didn't wanna be rude or something.

This was just a side note–but, ahem!

"–Ahem, you helped us back there, it was very brave of you … even though I guess you didn't even think about it, haha, I saw you were super concentrated on your little offensive at the time. We had time to notice you, though. Got me impressed. Super impressed, you'll grow strong, I'm sure."

What was the man's point?

"And thanks to what you did, I could defend better against the two orcs you left me, hm."

"And so … thanks to you," bringing up a bag with one hand to me, "we could collect five heads in total … so … ahem, my point I guess is just to thank you, hahaha–sorry if I'm being weird … I see you're wincing quite a bit, now."
