Sleepyhead Sees You From 100 Days Ago 79

Chapter 79 – Chapter 3: Training – 3

From the next day, I didn’t go out.

From morning to night.

I spent time sitting quietly next to Ritz.

She talks to Ritz, who doesn’t even know if he’s listening properly, and when she gets bored, she reads a book to him.
Wash your dirty body once and return it to you.

I just repeated the process of feeding water and stew little by little.

She jokingly said that Aunt Sherry would feel burdened by Ritz if she continued like that.

That’s right.

Just because you watch it all day doesn’t mean it wakes up faster.

But what I can do in Brisden…

This was all.

I was afraid of meeting people.

The moment she left her aunt’s house, she was out of breath.

What kind of expression should I make in front of the elderly?

I had no idea what to say.

“…”

The moment I see those blunt faces looking down at me.

I remembered Ruev’s cold eyes when he said that everything was because of me.

… He just bowed his head and left.

“Ritz, let me vent for a moment. Even if it’s cold, please be patient for a little while.”

I got up from my seat and went to the window.

When I open the window, a cold wind blows.

Shoot-.

Yellow grass waves on the hill.

The grass of Dragonez is fresh and fragrant.

Although it has now turned yellow due to being dried out by the blowing winter wind.

It’s soft enough to comfortably lie down and take a nap.

If I’ve ever missed the grass, I’ve missed it. I’ve never been afraid.

But… I hated that grass field now.

Just like a child who loved the white sand beach of Deseo is afraid to step on the sand after getting seriously injured by a sharp seashell.

To me, those grasses looked like jagged awls.

I don’t know.

Rather than the complicated, noisy, scary, and dark streets of Deseo, there is a much wider, more beautiful, and peaceful field.

Why can’t I even take a single step out of this house?

Maybe I don’t want to go out.

Ouch!

I grabbed the window frame tightly.

An ominous thought seeps in.

Maybe this is… Could it be a prison?

I shook my head.

“… No.”

There is a Ritz.

How can the place where the person I love be a prison?

You just have to wait a little longer.

When Ritz wakes up… Everything will be different.

We can go back to the way it was.

Let’s just wait until then.

Tak.

I closed the window again and looked back.

“…”

Ritz was sleeping soundly.

I was smiling comfortably, as if my worries were nothing to worry about.

“… Hehe.”

I also laughed along.

Seeing Ritsu’s handsome face made her feel better.

It was that afternoon.

Aunt Sherry opened the door and called me.

“Tia.”

“Yes?”

The aunt said with a troubled expression.

“If it’s okay, wouldn’t you like to go to the village below for a while?”

“Yes. But…”

The aunt noticed her gaze on Ritsu and laughed.

“I’ll take care of Ritz. “Don’t worry.”

“What are you doing this for?”

“That’s because there are a lot of supplies to get from the village below. Usually, I order it from Merid or Ruev, but they say they are both busy today. “I have no one but you to ask for, Tia.”

“I will help you with anything I can.”

“Oh, thank you. Ho Ho…”

Then he handed me a bag containing silver coins.

Jiggle.

The weight of the thick pocket seemed to be close to about 2 gold.

“2 gold… ?”

“That should be enough.”

At her aunt’s words, she thought for a moment, ‘What can you buy with just 2 gold?’, And then came to her senses.
I was so used to the prices of Deseo that I forgot for a moment that 2 gold here was quite a lot of money.

Most of the items sent for errands were ‘medicine’.

Originally, Ritz was in charge of this, but since it ended up like that, he has been receiving medicine from Taildon’s pharmacist all fall.

However, all the medicinal ingredients that Ritz had stored up in her pharmacy ran out.
Taildon’s pharmacist also prioritized the health of Taildon residents over our own…

It is said that if you do not pay like this, you will not be able to receive medicine.

After hearing that, I did a quick calculation in my head.

2 gold is used for medicine once every 3 days.

About 5 gold per week. That means I spent 20 gold per month.

“…”

Even though Brisden is a town that doesn’t pay taxes, it’s definitely not a town with a lot of money.

Maybe the elders… I could barely make enough money to pay for this medicine.

“I’ll be back.”

“Okay. “You have to come back before sunset, not late.”

“Yes.”

I borrowed a cloak from my aunt, dressed up, and went out for the first time in a while.

To avoid being seen as much as possible, I turned towards the outskirts and headed to the village entrance.

Jeez. Jeopuk.

However, that choice ended up being poisonous.

Because I ran into Ruyev, who was carrying a tree down the mountainside.

“…”

Ruyev looked at me with a face covered in sweat.

He said hello awkwardly.

“Oh, hi… Loop.”

“Where are you going?”

“In the village below. Aunt Sherry asked me to go…”

“It’s a medicine errand.”

He lifted the heavy pile of firewood again and asked in an annoyed voice.

“How much was that medicine?”

“Huh?”

“The medicine that wakes Ritz up. How much was it?”

He was about to say 1,000 gold, but he stopped.
Luyev nodded his head as if he already knew.

“It must have been very expensive. Because you, who never say ‘it’s hard,’ said that it was so hard that you collapsed in Deseo. Well, but that’s not important.”

“…”

“We, too, are working so hard that we collapse to get medicine.”

“… Yes.”

Ruyev said as he went back to the warehouse.

“And the withdrawal of the general store was postponed for a while. Instead, I hope you can help me that much.”

“… Okay.”

“Don’t be late and come back.”

I left the village as if running away.

I had to come before it got dark, so I didn’t have much time.

As he was running straight to the village below, he suddenly saw a small road turning to the left.
There was a broken signboard there.

[Modales General Store]

I felt strange.

In the past, I didn’t even look in this direction.

Now, I was going there as if I was possessed.

The road was buried due to the thick pile of fallen leaves, but I climbed the winding path relying on my senses.

It appeared soon.

A large two-story building with a yard full of junk.

Without changing at all from long memories.

The general store remained as it was familiar.

I didn’t go into the yard, but just watched from afar.

Of course, there was no sign of popularity inside the store.

Because Uncle Posao is in Deseo now.

I will be busy working even at this moment to clean up what I have done for myself.

I turned my head again.

I saw the eastern sky where Deseo is, which will never be visible from here.

If now. If you came back here.

What did you say to me?

Maybe… He gave me a massage and told me to cheer up.

I promise to be happy to help you in any way I can.

Because I’ve always been that way.

“…”

Holding her hand tightly over her chest.
I went down to the village below.

* * *

I found Taildon Pharmacy.

As soon as the pharmacist saw me, he handed me the medicine packet he had prepared, and I also took out my money bag.

The pharmacist who was counting the silver coins one by one said.

“Oh, wait a minute. “This isn’t enough.”

“Yes? Is it okay? You said this was enough…”

“Last time, I thought it would be a good price, so I took it that way. But our situation is not good either. “It’s very difficult because we’ve run out of medicine.”

It didn’t seem like a lie.

There was almost nothing on the shelves at the back of the store.

“I’m sorry, but this is all the money I brought. How could it not?”

“I can’t help it. “I’ll just take it with me today and put the remaining money on credit.”

“Thank you.”

I hurried out, holding the medicine bag.

I sigh.

I was at a loss when I thought about telling the story that drug prices had risen.

I lowered my head and walked down the crowded street of Taildon.

I didn’t even have time to stop by the liaison office today.

Aunt Sherry and Ruev too. He told me to return to the village before the sun sets.

That… It was an order, not a request.

It was when I was walking down the street in a daze.

“… ?”

It felt like something familiar passed by.

Strangely familiar, and scary enough to be scary.

It had an instinctive smell.

I turned my head that way.

Two men were walking along the edge of the main street.

He was a tall, stocky mercenary.

Like a hunter, he wore a coat made of animal skin and a hat made of fur on his head.

He looks like an extremely ordinary mercenary.

I’m not a person that particularly comes to mind.

I couldn’t figure out why it felt so ominous.

I stopped and looked closely at the backs of the two men.

There were weapons hanging on their backs and waists, which looked very strange.

Mercenaries mainly wore swords, but they also had double-edged axes and huge longbows.

Ax and longbow.

My body froze for a moment.

No way.

Suddenly, dark and terrible memories came back.

The sound of an ax scraping against a tree was heard in an unknown mountain.

The shadows of the bandits descending like the grim reaper.

It was those people.

Although I was certain with only a brief memory, my body’s senses told me that those men were definitely the ‘enemy’.

Clutter.

The two went into a bar.

I followed behind him as if possessed.

I carefully went to the bar’s window and took a peek at them.

“…”

The man says something to the landlady.

“…”

The woman who was listening to her story shook her head as if she didn’t know what she was talking about.
Then the men grabbed another customer and said the same thing.

It felt like he was asking something.

In the end, the two people left the bar because they had no income.

After seeing him go into another alley, I sneaked in through the back door of the bar.

The landlady recognized me.

“Oh! Tia!”

“Hello, ma’am.”

“It’s been so long! I heard you came back a few days ago? Our Vincent was talking about you.”

“Yes. Lol-. That- over there… It’s no different…”

She asked in a whisper.

“If… “I mean those men just now.”

“Yes.”

“… “What did you ask?”

“Uhm…”

The lady crossed her arms with a puzzled look on her face.

“They asked me if I knew a person named ‘Modales’?”
