A nice long and hot bath, as well as making sure his clothes had repaired themselves, and then following the quiet night with a huge, unbelievably delicious dinner where he could eat until he couldn't eat anymore. That was what Blake had just experienced at that precise moment as loud laughter reached him from a cheerful white-haired old man and more people who were already known to him surrounded him.
"Hahahahaha!! I knew I could trust you, boy! I'll sleep like a baby today now that I don't have to worry about that annoying monster!"
"Stop yelling, old man! You're going to wake up the whole town!" Marjorie was putting up with Wells's cheery attitude.
"Ufufu, you can really tell how happy the mayor is." Shino was enjoying the atmosphere.
"Hohoho, I blame him, that creature has been keeping him idle for the last few days." Sherman was accompanying Blake with all the food there was.
"That's really good news, and from the amount of food that has disappeared from the plates, I can tell that Blake worked really hard." Blaise was pleased to see that his food was not wasted.
"It's good to have young people to take care of these situations, Blake is my personal disciple, I didn't expect less from him, hehe." Marjorie was now bragging about Blake's achievements.
"Well, I can say the same, the training days paid off." Shino also felt the same way.
"The important thing is that everything is solved. Blaise, bring some more wine, tonight we have to celebrate!" Wells's attitude was more animated than usual, perhaps due to all the empty jars around him and that there was a reddish hue to his face.
"I'd also like fewer dishes, Blake seems to be able to keep up with me just fine." Sherman was also happy to have another eating partner besides Collette.
"I see it will be a lively night." And while those words, coming from the adults of the town were heard throughout the restaurant, Blake was not paying attention since he was too busy with all the flavors that were in his mouth.
In short, after he came back from the forest accompanied by Shino, the first thing he did was arrive at the inn and take a bath making his body seem to rejuvenate at that moment.
Once he came out looking good as new, he was quickly called back by Shino to end up at the town's restaurant where his significant others were. What had reached his ears were various compliments and congratulations from Wells and Marjorie, plus a host of dishes ready for him to devour without worrying about money courtesy of Blaise and Sherman.
Blake had wasted no time and summarily explained everything he had been through plus he summoned all the things he recovered from the raccoon making the joy in the room heightened once again.
Time had taken its course and the moment had come where he decided to put the food aside despite not really feeling satisfied, he realized the lively atmosphere that was in the place, and his attention was again caught by the cheerful old man who continued with his slightly red face at that time.
"Hahaha, life is better when there's nothing to worry about! You're a lifesaver, boy!"
"It really was nothing, I felt like it was the least I could do after how good everyone in town has been to me." Blake hadn't left his humility aside.
"Haha, I'm glad you think that way too! At first, I had my doubts, but letting you live here was a great decision! Now I think Shara didn't have to threaten to put chocolate in my coffee if I didn't let you do it, hahaha!"
"I think the mayor has already had too much to drink." Shino had already realized that long ago but she hadn't said anything.
"This time I must disagree with Shino." Those words with opposites did not avoid coming out of Sherman's mouth.
"I hope he doesn't show up at the pharmacy tomorrow because I'll kick him out if I have to." Marjorie gave those last words.
"At least he looks like he's having fun, I'll make sure he gets home safely." Blaise took it upon himself to make sure the mayor didn't have any accidents on his return.
That warmth that the scene in front of Blake transmitted was enough so that he himself couldn't help but smile at that moment, he had just gone through a situation where his life was in mortal danger several times, but that didn't seem to matter after sharing happiness what was there at that moment.
...
"Yawn... I can't wait to collapse in bed." The little celebration was over as the night progressed, the happy mayor's scenes were over the instant snoring had left him, Sherman had waved goodbye after leaving a table full of plates where there used to be food as well as a giant bag full of coins, and both of Blake's masters had said goodbye to him at the same time he did the same and then took the path that led him to the huge Sharance tree.
It was already quite late after all that had happened, Blake's eyelids were heavy as he climbed the steps made of wood and more yawning sounds came out of his mouth, the door of his house opened slowly as he entered it and his legs carried him in the direction of what seemed to be the most comfortable bed before his eyes.
He dropped as if he were a tree that had just been felled and the softness, he felt at the moment of coming into contact with his bed was enough for his body to release all the tension that still remained.
His eyes closed slowly as the moonlight entered through the window and rose even more, in his mind all the events of that same day were still reproducing as he gave a last look at those memories that were now part of him to finally let drowsiness dominate him and his consciousness entered the wonderful world of dreams but not before hearing those last words that had sounded in his mind without knowing what would really happen.
