As the road widens and the number of trees on both sides of the road decreases, the silhouette of a village comes into view.

The village of a very small number of dwellings came to mind, and memories flooded into my mind, and the bits and pieces of the village began to retrace in my mind, where I had lived all along.

Our carriage caught the attention of the outermost villager, who first looked at him suspiciously, and then smiled with delight, like a child who had not returned for a long time.

"It's true that I haven't returned for a long time......"

I pulled the reins and slowed down, and when I reached the man, the carriage stopped and I waved my hand in a greeting.

When he was about to say something, he paused, and in the end, the other party spoke first.

"It's Raven Creek and Senna, long time no see."

"It's been a long time, Uncle Syrke (◦ ̇▽ ̇◦)"

After Senna said the other person's name, I also recalled my memories of the person, so I was ready to say hello again.

"It's been a long time, Uncle Syrke."

Uncle Syrk showed an incomprehensible expression at my actions, looked at Senna, and then at me.

"What's wrong, Uncle Syrke?"

Sensing the stiffness and strangeness of my words, I unconsciously hid it with a smile and stared at his face.

No problem, Uncle Selke's face is familiar to me, and my inner memory tells me that I know him and am very familiar with him, at least for more than ten years.

Somewhere inside, however, I was surrounded by a sense of strangeness, and I felt like a person who lived nearby, but had little connection.

How is that possible, I've been living here all along, and I should be in constant contact with Uncle Syrke who lives in the village

"How's it going, Uncle Syrke?"

Shaking off the weird thoughts in my head, I broke the somewhat awkward silence and said with a dry laugh.

Uncle Syrke froze again visibly, staring at my face as if he were looking at a stranger.

"Uncle Syrke (⊙o⊙)?"

"I'm sorry, I accidentally wandered, because Yaxi looks more like a handsome guy, it feels different from before, it's unbelievable, it's changed so much in a few months."

As if he felt that his reaction was inappropriate, Uncle Srk put down the stake in his hand, grabbed the hair on the back of his head, and said with a smile.

"Hey! Syrke, are you lazy! ”

The voice was thick and thick, clearly the voice of a stout man, and just as we passed our gaze, a man poked his head out of the fenced stake.

"Syrke, you bastard......"

The man wanted to blame Uncle Syrke, but when he saw the carriage beside Uncle Syrke, the words came back to his mouth, and his eyes followed the carriage all the way to us.

Like Uncle Syrke, he was stunned, but compared to Uncle Syrke, he woke up much faster.

"Raven Creek? Senna? You're back, huh? ”

Perhaps because he was not sure about the picture, he deliberately rubbed his eyes to confirm that we were sitting in the carriage, and he came out from behind the stake and walked straight towards us.

"Uncle Glenn, how are you doing?"

Uncle Glenn was much more impressive to me than Uncle Syrke, and when he popped up, his name popped up in my head, so I called out his name.

"It's been a good time lately, but you, how are you doing, you have a carriage, it's definitely not bad, right?"

"Humph! Of course, (∗❛ั∀❛ั∗)✧*. ”

Senna showed off her C-class adventurer credentials, and Uncle Glenn and Uncle Syrke, although they didn't know what it was, still cooperated to make envious expressions.

Seeing the envious expressions of the two older trees, Senna became even more proud, with closed eyes and proud expressions, if it weren't for the stupid behavior, it would be very handsome.

"Srk, you take them back, I'll go and tell everyone that they're back, everyone in the village should be happy."

"I'll take them back...... But what about those things? The village chief asked for it to be done today......"

"Could anything be more important than their return?"

Facing Uncle Glenn's gaze, Uncle Syrke shrugged his shoulders and put on a look of listening to you.

After Uncle Glenn left, Senna and I also got out of the carriage and followed behind Syrke, and unexpectedly, we didn't meet any other villagers along the way, and we came to a quiet stop in front of a house.

"The carriage stops at the back of there, so you can stay here for the time being, don't you mind?"

Seeing Uncle Syrke's eyes, Senna and I nodded in unison.

"This is also a house that has just been built for a short time, no one lives in it for the time being, and the rest of the places are not empty, so I will grieve you for the time being, but I don't think it matters, right?"

"It's okay, as long as you have a place to live."

"That's good, about Senna, I think it's better to hurry up and meet the village chief, he still misses you a lot."

"Let's talk about that later."

I rejected Uncle Syrke's suggestion, and Senna had been wary of showing up with the village chief from the beginning.

When I heard the word "village chief", I could clearly feel that Senna's strength in grabbing my back coat had become stronger, and since that was the case, there was no need to force it, but I had already returned.

Besides, if I don't prepare for it, I'm sure I'll be embarrassed, and I want to remember as many things as possible.

"If there is no problem, I will continue to go back to work, and if I can't finish it today, I will inevitably be ......."

"Goodbye then, Uncle Syrke."

At last he looked at me meaningfully, and Uncle Syrke turned away, and it was just me and Senna.

"Let's see what's in the house first."

It is necessary to confirm the place of residence, and what you have in the house depends on the degree of truth of your life afterwards.

Sure enough, it was a house that had not been built for a long time, and when you stepped in, you could smell a strong smell of sawdust, and the wooden planks were very solid to step on, so it would be no problem to live in it for more than ten years.

It's just that......

"Nothing."

"It's good to have a quilt for sleeping."

There was nothing in the house, except for the bedrooms and living rooms that should be found in a typical house.

However, we can also spend time on the floor with a quilt, and we can buy a bed or something later, right?

"Let's move things in first."

I didn't have much to carry, but I still had some food left, and I carried a lot of quilts and clothes, so I put the bag with them in a corner of the wall, and I was almost done.
