Harvest Inn was still as merry as ever.
Without the cautiousness of the dungeon world, the lone wolves lowered their guard in front of their friends. The wine in their glasses was sparkling like amber; the plates on the table were filled with golden roasted meat; Hanses was singing and strumming the accordion in front of Coll.
Coll lowered her head and laughed softly.
Ramont, Rhino, Blair, and Garwen were clapping and whistling from time to time.
It seemed like Hanses and Coll's deceiving themselves was coming to an end and their relationship would be made clear soon.
Raven the Loner was hugging his cat and sitting in the corner of the inn as usual. He lowered his head and caressed the cat while humming a simple tune. He seemed to be in a good mood.
Lawless was wiping the already clean floor with a mop. He would look at the noisy crowd from time to time, his eyes showing a yearning gaze.
Ramont and the others would cheer louder each time Lawless did that. Raven's humming got louder as well.
"What's wrong?"
When Kieran walked in, the familiar lone wolves raised their glasses to greet him. Kieran nodded in reply and naturally sat beside Ramont and the others.
"Lawless was caught eating Rachel's freshly made cream cherry pie," Lawless said.
"Then, after being beaten up by Rachel, he started working 24 hours a day."
It'll last for about a week. "
Ramont grinned and said with a gloating tone.
"Just because of that?"
Kieran was confused.
Wasn't it normal for Rachel to beat Lawless up?
Why was he so happy?
"That Cream Cherry Pie was a gift from Hanses for Coll."
Rhino came over.
"After Lawless stole it, Rachel had to make a bigger one."
Blair added.
"And it's free!"
Garwen continued.
"I guess this bigger Cream Cherry Pie is enough for all of you and Hanses agreed, right?"
Kieran asked with a smile.
"That's right."
Everyone nodded their heads in unison, including the loner Galen in the distance.
"Here's to free food!"
Kieran smiled and picked up the free lemonade that Coll had given him.
"Cheers!"
Everyone picked up their glasses and drained them in one gulp, regardless of whether it was alcohol or soft drinks.
Putting down the cup, Kieran walked over under Lawless' resentful gaze.
"I think you should feel sorry for me."
Lawless said in a serious tone.
"Yes."
"I agree with your 'should'."
Kieran nodded and passed the three magical items to Lawless.
"This isn't your style!"
Lawless exclaimed as he looked at the few Magical Tools in the room.
If it was anyone else, Lawless wouldn't have been so surprised. He would have thought that it was just bad luck. However, this friend of his had the title of Treasure Hunter.
"Nothing bad happened, right?"
In the next moment, Lawless asked worriedly.
"Believe me, the harvest isn't just what you see."
Kieran patted his friend's shoulder and headed straight to the small hall behind the inn.
Lawless looked at Kieran's disappearing figure and finally thought of something.
"What do you mean by 'should'?
Are you going to abandon me just like that?
Just because I ate a Cream Cherry Pie, you're going to be in cahoots with these bastards? "
…
Lawless' complaints were blocked by the soundproofing spell of the living room. Through the corridor, Kieran saw Rachel sitting on the sofa with a man in a brown biker jacket, khaki overalls and willow studded boots. The man was sitting there in a relaxed manner, chatting and laughing with Rachel.
It seemed like both of them were quite close.
When Rachel saw Kieran walk in, she didn't stand up because she was still weak. Instead, she introduced the man to Kieran and Kieran.
"Derder, the best doctor I know."
2567, I don't think I need to introduce this famous guy anymore, right? "
"Of course not.
It's an honor to meet you, Treasure Hunter. "
The man extended his hand with a smile and naturally didn't address Kieran as Blade of the Daybreaker or Fire Emperor, which sounded distant. Instead, he chose to address Kieran as a lone wolf.
"Hello."
Kieran never heard of the man's name but it didn't stop him from replying.
Kieran knew the basics of etiquette.
Besides, Derder's identity as a doctor caught Kieran's attention.
One needed to know, outside the inn, there was a guy who needed a doctor to 'take care' of.
"Derder is the doctor in charge of Lawless, although that guy doesn't know.
This time, he will help us treat the Fisherman. "
Before Kieran could even ask, Rachel said straightforwardly.
"Before I meet J.Pearlman, I can't promise anything.
All I can say is, I'll try my best.
When do we start? "
Derder asked in a careful and straightforward manner.
His careful attitude and straightforward actions instantly improved Kieran's impression of him.
"Hold on.
"My men are bringing J. Perelman here."
Kieran replied.
Bring J.Pearlman here?
Shouldn't he be the one going?
Derder was stunned.
Rachel, who was sitting on the sofa, seemed to have guessed something. She glanced over at Kieran, raised her glass and asked, "Are you confident?"
"Don't worry.
"My people are professionals."
Kieran said in an affirmative tone.
Then, Kieran turned to Derder.
"I have some questions about Lawless's condition."
Of course, I'll tell you everything I know. "
Derder replied with a smile.
While Kieran was asking about the details, Bloody Mary and Rorl brought J.Pearlman back to the train station in fear.
"No problem, right?"
Rorl's voice was filled with grievance and he even sounded like he was crying.
Last time, he was bait.
This time, it was still bait.
Kieran was also bait at first.
Was Kieran really that delicious?
"What do you think?"
Bloody Mary said in an annoyed tone as it looked around.
It didn't want to be bait!
However, it dared not disobey its contractor.
Especially as the contestant became stronger and stronger, even its initial thoughts were thrown out the window.
It didn't even dare to say the words' cruel ',' heartless', 'stingy' anymore.
Even if it chanted in its heart, it would shift to other things, like 'the cruel world', 'the heartless reality', 'the stingy people' and so on.
It was a new way for Bloody Mary to circumvent the contract.
Because of that, it couldn't help but chant a few more times.
Just as Bloody Mary was muttering 'life', the train appeared in the distance. Everything around it was normal, so Bloody Mary heaved a breath of relief.
