Although I offered to write a contract for our "promise," Ansael refused. She said that she's fine with just verbal promises, and even if she gets thrown aside, she's still okay with it.
I'm not that heartless, but I still respected her choice and didn't insist.
With that out of the way, she finally began to undo the seals on the other villagers. As she was the one who placed the seals in the first place, it wasn't that hard for Ansael to release them.
"Uhh, what... happened?"
"This place is..."
"V-Village chief!"
"Everyone's alive!"
One after another, they were released from their seals. They were confused at first after seeing how Fina and Julia looked way different from what they could remember, but after their memories resurfaced, they all simply rejoiced in their reunion.
However, all the villagers were women. There are no men among them at all?
"It's due to Ansael's insistence to only take in and care for young girls."
