Someone, calling me, the voice repeated over and over again...
"Towarta, Towarta, Towarta!"
My eyes opened suddenly, all I saw was the blue sky and someone I knew, Ari.
"Finally you woke up, I found you early in the morning, very early! I waited for you to wake up thinking you must be tired but you slept too long, look, it's already afternoon!"
Not answering, Towarta's gaze remained focused on the sky above him. His brain was still processing everything that had happened.
"Is my regeneration slowing down?"
Ari's eyebrows were raised, staring at Towarta with confusion clearly visible on her face.
"W-what? I don't know what you're thinking but—"
"Please be quiet, you're ruining the mood."
Ari was silent, she stood up from the ground and left Towarta without a word, leaving Towarta lying on the ground. Her face was sullen, she was angry with Towarta's words.
"Even though your face is handsome, your attitude is like that, then just keep lying there as much as you like! Maybe you don't need your pay!"
Hearing the words "your payment" Towarta immediately remembered that he was here as a worker, it was inappropriate for him to talk like that.
Realizing his mistake, Towarta immediately got up from lying down and immediately followed Ari.
"Ari! Wait... I'm sorry, come on I'm sorry!"
Ari quickened her pace, and Towarta also started running in hurry to catch up with Ari, leaving the area where he had fought last night which was now destroyed and in disarray.
However, the destroyed and messy area is not a harvest area.

The village head took Towarta's hand and gave him a bag full of coins which was his payment.
"Well, Towarta... Here's your pay, your performance was impressive and I'm glad you managed to defeat GoliathBeetle, I thought it would take two people but I didn't expect you to be able to face GoliathBeetle"
"Unbelievable, Towarta!! You defeated GoliathBeetle alone, considering GoliathBeetle is an enemy equivalent to an A rank monster"
Towarta smiled shyly, and his gaze shifted from the village chief to Lune.
"That's normal, after all this is an A rank quest"
"No! No! No! That's still impressive!"
Towarta just nodded with a smile and looked back at the village head for a moment then moved to Ari
"You are a good person, thank you for waiting for me until I woke up from my sleep when I was there before. "
"You're welcome, next time think about your words before you speak!"
"I will remember it "
"Looks like our work here is done, let's go, Towarta"
Lune turned around, walked away from where she was standing, Towarta was silent for a moment then followed her away from Tice Village
"Take care of yourselves and thank you for helping this village!"
The village head said to the two of them, Towarta and Lune waved their hands without turning around, this time they were united with each other and disappeared as they took their steps.
Walking on the path, on the left and right there are only tall pine trees, blocking the sun's rays but enough light comes in, enough for today to illuminate the darkness of the forest.
"So, how much did you get, Towarta?"
Towarta opened his coin pouch and counted the amount of payment he received.
"20 silver coins and 10 gold coins"
"Ah, I only got 20 silver coins and 5 gold coins, but considering you were the one who got the part to fight the Goliath Beetle, so it's a fair pay!"
"Well so what's your next goal?"
"looking for a new city and maybe buying some new armor"
"I see... Well, I guess this is our farewell then, I'll be returning to Entra Kingdom city, so enjoy the journey fellow adventurers!"
Lune used light magic and performed Soul Binding on his greaves, his greaves became slightly glowing and started running away leaving Towarta watching him leave.
Watching him leave, Towarta continued his journey through the forest, walking to go to the next kingdom, Terra Kingdom.
