It also seems like you weren't the only one being showered with praise, as when Guts reaches the mainland, a familiar moonlight child appears behind a rock to hug at his leg.
"Lucio?! What are you doing here?" You remove your helmet to stare at the boy, who flicks your forehead after recognizing you in your disguise. You forgot the kid hasn't taken a liking to you for some reason...
"He's shown up around after the time you've got inside the monster." Casca smiled, finally being able to approach Guts without having her memories easily triggering her into a panic attack, though from how active she's been today, it seems she is finally learning how to get over her fear of apostles and demonic entities on her own terms. "Would you mind if I borrowed him for a bit, we don't get to talk very often."
You give them a nod, letting them get their own leisure time as you wrap up your tasks for the night.
"The sea dragons at this region will catch the scent of it's disgorged blood and descend upon the sea god to consume it's flesh. This monster will be forgotten in due time, and we from the merrow tribe... No, of all that live in this region from the sea, will be forever in your debt, Lord Vlad!" Ino and her merrow friends once again take a bow to you, with Isma soon following after them.
"I told them that we were going to Elfhelm, and the merrows just happened to know which direction that is, so they can lead us there when we sail in the next few days! How cool is that?!" Isidro proudly rubs his nose, taking the credit for the bargain, though if his energy reading is correct, he is still frustrated over not doing any big monster killings like he wanted to.
>Don't be so proud of yourself, you haven't done much.>Good idea Isidro, up top!>You've done your best for today, and that's good enough for me.>More time with Isma for you, huh? Let me know if you need any tips to get along with the girls.>Write-in.
