"Alice, after the auction, I want to go with you to your town. Even if monsters have already destroyed it, it is still very important."
"Okay...but I'm not sure I can point in the exact direction, but I'll try!"
"That will be enough. Ern, you don't mind me taking her for a few days, do you?"
"No, that's okay, but bring her back in one piece, even though I paid a hundred thousand for her, she's actually priceless." Ern said calmly, draining his wine glass.
"So I'll stay with you..." Alice muttered. She didn't know how to react to Ern's words, she had mixed feelings. He was talking about her like a thing, yet not treating her like a slave.
"Huh, sure. I understand that you would like to be with Wain, since you are of the same race, but I bought you, and I have no intention of selling you. Don't worry. I'll make a warrior out of you quickly, but you need to be disguised first. If many people find out who you are, you and I will be in trouble."
