In just a few minutes, the village chief had managed to disperse the crowd.
"Thank you, sir. If you weren't around, I can't imagine what would happen next," said Grandma Chiyo to the village chief.
"That's my job, Grandma Chiyo. After all, I won't let the Villager's savior get into meaningless trouble," replied the Village Chief with a smile.
"How was your trip?" asked the village chief.
"Everything is alright."
"Good. Ah... how about we go to my house? Speaking here, it feels a little uncomfortable," repeated the village chief.
"Okay," Grandma Chiyo replied.
They then walked to the village chief's house. The assistant village chief followed them from behind.
