Erwin's face contorted with irritation as he glared at the stubbornly locked door. "Every single time I come here to meet these girls, they're never around... It's beyond frustrating," he grumbled, his voice laden with exasperation.
Out of nowhere, a voice filled with surprise cut through his thoughts. "What are you doing here?"
Erwin turned his attention to the source of the voice, and a broad smile spread across his face. "Ah, Miss Valara! I was actually looking for you," he responded.
Valara, holding a collection of items in her hands, appeared to have just returned from the city. She questioned Erwin while unlocking the door with a key. "And why exactly were you looking for me?" she inquired.
Erwin, still taken aback by the sudden encounter, clutched onto the items and explained, "I stumbled upon some good herbs today. And as you suggested, if I found something noteworthy, I should come to you. So here I am."
