Alex and Dim Dim returned to the infirmary, not wanting to disturb the touching reunion of Charles and his little sister.
His injuries had yet to heal completely, but he had mostly recovered from his ordeals in the dungeon—well, except for his arm, which was currently in a cast and couldn't really move.
Alex found the Peace Keeper in charge of him and expressed his gratitude before officially discharging. He then left, planning to meet up with his master and friends.
When he was near the inn, he met a familiar pair of Adventurers, who quickly approached him after they caught sight of him.
"Alex!" Efa waved in his direction as her smile lit up her face.
"Good morning, Efa," Alex greeted. "Good morning, Elaine."
"Dim Dim~"
"Good morning, Alex," Elaine replied. "Good morning, Dim Dim."
"Hey, are you sure you can leave the infirmary?" Efa asked, her eyes drawn to the cast on the young man's arm. "Won't you have problems taking the second trial tomorrow?"
