ride back to the village, keeping a cordial discussion with the Patriarch. Dan Rol is dumbfounded - especially by learning he have only a couple hours to pack his things, bid his farewell, and share a last feast with his family.
The next day, the Patrician gives you a bag, containing a chest. In the chest, a sealed letter for Ryota, the spoils of the treasure hunt, and a hefty sum of money.
Coins are made of stone, bone, gems, scales, wood, metals, or even intangible materials like ribbons of mist or a disc of mystical water, holding up by its own energy.
After all, the coins are an intrinsic store of value. You're pretty sure the most mundane looking coin in that chest is worth at least as much as a whole string looted on the bandits.
You ride away, with Kyo Ko and Dan Rol walking by your side. Direction : South-East.
The first day of travel is silent. Your totally-not-hostage-new-little-big-brother-disciple is brooding; you wanted to talk with Kyo Ko about how to shorten the travel time, but she haven't dropped the maid role yet. Thus, you hold on to avoid blowing her cover.
That give you ample time to think.
>Both (You) and Kyo Ko are unscathed
>(You) didn't used the precious third stage Talisman of Attack and Armor
>(You) discovered who your sect ennemies are
>(Your) sect ennemies are clueless about your actions in Golden Skystone Village
>(You) are heading back around your expected time of arrival
>(You) might even have a chance to make it back in time for Transplanhumance
>(You) feel this whole adventure is an opportunity for creating a real bond - a strong, durable one, not based solely on extortion and mutuably profitable - with the Golden Skystone village.
This is as close as you could get to an utter, spotless and complete victory, both on short and long term.
On the ebony lining, there was that reveal about bounded spiritual beasts. You weren't aware you could release three beasts around 2nd-to-3rd stage upon dying. And that's not even factoring in the wolf.
>How do (You) feel about knowing your death will release Weapons of Local Destruction?
About the travel and Kyo Ko's disguise
>Keep your mouth shut
>Ask her discretly about speeding up (Any idea?)
About your travel companions
>Any questions or desired interractions?
