Fortunately, the return trip was not as dangerous. They didn't find any beasts coming in their direction, so Auric once again enjoyed the luxury.
Still, he was wondering what his teacher had gone through for her to be demoted here. It didn't seem to be a simple problem.

The next day, Auric returned to his store as usual. It was time to open his store again, or he wouldn't be able to afford to feed Lindwurm.
Mr. Popo had been waiting for him as usual. Surprisingly, his daughter, Milinda, was also there.
"Good morning." Mr. Popo smiled, noticing his arrival.
"Good morning. Thank you for coming here again today." Auric nodded politely. "And Miss Milinda."
