YLTESCIA: A Reincarnator's Tale in the Lands of Merusia (2)

Chapter 239: Along the Sandy Beaches

"Would that really be enough, Lord Grey, Lady Yuna?" ［Manelo］

"Well, rather than that... This is actually more than we could ask for... In fact, it feels like we're taking advantage of your kindness." ［Grey］

"Un... Are you sure you don't want anything in return?" ［Yuna］

"Hahaha. Please don't say that. You're our saviors. Compared to our lives, this much is nothing. I have already said this many times before, and I'll say it again... We will forever be grateful for everything you've done for us... Thank you..." ［Manelo］

There was only sincerity and gratefulness in his piece as he said his piece. The Great Chief bowed his head once again, giving Grey and Yuna his deepest thanks.

And though they have experienced it time and time again, Grey and Yuna still felt a little embarrassed, receiving such honest to goodness gratitude. It was as if there were butterflies in their hearts, fluttering ever so freely,

It was a new day, and after yesterday's events, the village held a grand feast to celebrate victory over the Evil Beast. An event where the two received countless compliments and gratitude from everyone.

Not only that, the Great Chief and the elders unanimously decided to let the two keep everything they got from the laboratory as a thank you gift as they have no use for it anyway. A separate present from the reward to their request which they decided to be an everlasting permission to harvest resources in Torogi.

Of course, Grey and Yuna wouldn't abuse such a condition. Even then, it was still too much that they felt conflicted, especially when the Chiefdom doesn't want anything in return. But with such expectant eyes staring at them, they could only do so much.

"Fufufu. Then, Grey... I guess we'll really have to accept these, huh..." ［Yuna］

"Yeah, that seems to be the case." ［Grey］

"Hahaha. Please do so, and if you ever need something, don't hesitate to tell us. We will be more than happy to help." ［Manelo］

"Thank you. We'll do just that." ［Grey］

There was nothing more they could ask for. With the support of the Chiefdom, they could only break a gentle smile and accept everything with grace, the Great Chief returning an even bigger smile.

"Then, now that that's all over... We'll be taking our leave now. The Great Chief is quite the busy man, after all." ［Grey］

Said Grey as he looked in a certain direction. Following his eyes, Yuna and the Great Chief's eyes also followed suit, seeing the elders and villagers just waiting outside the Great Hall, a couple scrolls and pens in their hands.

After all, the Great Chiefs' work was not done. There was still the refugee camp and recovery plans for the Chiefdom. After yesterday's celebration, it was now time for work. It was going to be a long day ahead of him.

"I'm sorry about this, Lord Grey, Lady Yuna. It seems this is as much as I can spare. I will make sure to accommodate you better next time," ［Manelo］

"Don't worry about it. We really aren't bothered by it. If anything, please tell us if there's anything we can do to help." ［Grey］

"Fufufu! We'll be going now, Great Chief～! Remember not to overwork yourself, okay?" ［Yuna］

"Yes. I'll make sure to do so." ［Manelo］

The two waved their hands goodbye and their footsteps echoed in the air. As they headed outside of the Great Hall, the people greeted them before entering, bowing their heads as politely as they could.
