Chapter v12-epilogue-2
[Part 1/4]
"That's good to hear. Ah, here we are. Here... Miss, I'm home."
The young man greets the innkeeper's daughter, who was cleaning the courtyard of the small but tidy inn. Yukine nods politely and enters the inn.
The daughter seems shocked to see Yukine, but Yukine is confused and tilts her head, wondering if she has done something wrong. Perhaps she should apologize later.
As these thoughts cross her mind, the two ascend to their room on the second floor. Yukine is slightly surprised to see the room, which is six parts orderly and four parts messy.
Considering the young man's usually meticulous nature, the state of the room hints at how busy his work must be. Yukine's fighting spirit is ignited, and she feels even more motivated to help.
"Cleaning can wait, tomorrow is fine too? ...You should eat and rest today."
"I understand. Can I use the kitchen? I want to heat up some stew."
"Just ask the landlady. She's probably preparing dinner now. ...Oh, I think there are some candy pieces in the storage room from the other day, so you can take those as a greeting gift."
