“There’s no change at all.”

Kite looked down at his hand, and Luella quickly stood up, grabbed his hand, and pulled it towards her.

“Really, there’s no change at all.”

Kite smiled at Luella, who was fidgeting as he turned his hand over to examine it more closely.

The contrast between his large hand and Luella’s small, white one was somehow pleasing to the eye.

“Is it because of the scar?”

Luella turned her gaze to Raphael.

“Come on, Raphael. You saw the guild master drink it, didn’t you? It’s nothing. Drink it quickly. Why are you so afraid?”

Raphael, who was looking with suspicious eyes, tightly closed them, opened the lid of the potion, and drank it down. After drinking the potion, he suspiciously turned the empty bottle this way and that.

“There’s no change at all? I didn’t taste or smell anything, are you sure it’s really medicine?”

“Let me see.”

As Luella tried to grab Raphael’s hand, Kite quickly blocked her and checked Raphael’s hand himself.

“The wound is still there.”

“Really?”

As he said, Raphael’s cut showed no change over time. Luella, who had been worrying, took out another bottle from her bag and poured it onto the wound.

“What are you doing?”

“Just wait a moment. Look at this!”

The wound that had been at the place where she sprinkled the medicine began to heal bit by bit. The red flesh that had gently appeared soon healed, leaving no trace at all.

“This is really amazing.”

Raphael looked at his hand in wonder, and Luella poured the potion onto Kite’s hand as well.

“This is really surprising.”

Kite stared at his nowscarfree hand in astonishment, exclaiming in surprise.

“You really were a healer.”

Raphael looked back and forth between his hand and Luella with unbelieving eyes.

She opened her mouth to calm the two men who were repeatedly expressing their admiration.

“This isn’t a healer’s ability. It’s just one of the specialized skills of potionmaking.”

“We have doctors and healers too. But they can’t heal like this with just a potion. This is something only a healer can do.”

Kite refuted Luella’s denial, repeatedly looking at his and Raphael’s wounds with an admiring expression.

He was so happy with a potion that even a handsome man sparkled with joy, that she felt thrilled. She didn’t want to disappoint him by saying no when he reacted like that.

Luella hesitated for a moment but decided to do as she pleased. It felt like becoming a swindler, but it didn’t seem so bad to agree when he was so happy.

“Okay, okay. Well, I made the potion, and I’m going to be a healer, so it’s a healer’s ability. Let’s go on a quest for quick levelups. Who will help?”

“I’ll go.”

As Kite stood up, Raphael asked incredulously.

“Aren’t you going to apply to establish the guild?”

“You go. What’s the problem with just receiving?”

“Oh, one moment. Alright, I’ll go.”

Raphael looked at him leaving, and Kite said,

“Shall we go too? What should we do first?”

Luella closely examined the quest list.

[Gather Food]

Although it’s a quest that she couldn’t do alone, since there was someone to help, she decided on this one. Since it was likely a quest given to learn hunting methods when first entering the game, the experience and rewards seemed pretty good.

“Shall we catch wild animals and bring food? Is there a place to hunt nearby?”

At Luella’s question, Kite furrowed his brow.

“Hunting grounds are allowed only to the hunting guilds under Balder’s management.”

“So there’s no suitable place.”

Luella opened the quest list again.

[Gather Food]

She unchecked the gather food quest from the list and looked at other quests.

[Hunt the Monsters]

She clicked the title to look at the details.

[Lately, the monsters near the border have been frequently crossing into our territory. Eliminate the lowerranked monsters to help maintain peace. Reward: 5500XP, beginner’s staff.] It was a quest received in the Camuen region, but no specific hunting location was designated.

It seemed like hunting lowlevel monsters anywhere would suffice.

“Where can I find lowlevel monsters? Do I need permission to hunt them?”

“No, you don’t. As I said before, if you go to the border of Curan, there will be an abundance of monsters. But even if it’s a beginner monster, you won’t be able to catch it, will you?”

That was probably true. She was only at level 2 at the moment. But Kite, who was before her eyes, looked quite strong, so she thought she would be safe by his side.

“Shall we go once? I want to see what kind of monsters they are.”

“It’s dangerous, but it might be okay to take a quick look…… But the nearest border is an hour away from here, is that okay?”

Kite spoke as if worried, but Luella was rather surprised that it would take less time than expected.

“Is the distance from the capital to the border only that much?”

“Well, it was a duke’s territory, after all.”

At Kite’s words, the title of the boss raid update suddenly came to mind.

‘The Secret of the Duke of Curan.’
