"I believe you can do it, Litt."
Watching Litt, Lillian reached out her hand and grasped Litt's clenched fist.
"You're hardworking and brave. I believe you can pass the test and join the Hero Army!"
"... I'll consider it..."
Faced with Lillian's forthright gaze, Litt seemed a bit uneasy. He was silent for a moment before finally speaking in a low voice. Hearing Litt's response, Lillian also breathed a sigh of relief.
"I'll head back now, goodbye, Litt."
After saying this, Lillian waved to Litt and then turned around to leave. Litt watched her swaying twin ponytails disappear down the road before he turned his gaze back and walked toward his home.
"I'm back."
Litt pushed open the door and spoke. Normally at this time, Mina would have prepared dinner and be waiting with his sister for him to eat. But now, the place was cold and deserted, with not a single shadow in sight.
Oh right, Aileen also went to help at the inn...
