The reason he didn't want to bring Daphne was that the possibility that he would encounter a 2nd Circle Magical Beast was fairly high. Since he was going to venture into the forest, it would be better if he was alone so that he could use his mage powers. With Daphne, he would be handicapped since he would be limited to using his aura which he wasn't used to.
He walked to the forest. On the way, he dropped by the inn again to see if there were any changes. With the Blacktooth Gang gone for only ten days, he didn't expect much change. But to his surprise, the outside was completely cleaned up.
The damage that the Blacktooth Gang members had made initially was all gone and the decorations had increased. It seemed that with the loan cleared, Miller didn't have to pay exorbitant amounts of money as interest. With that money being left over, he could use it for the inn unlike before.
