"Thank you, Hero."
Inside the shrine.
Kikyo bowed deeply to Yi Lin.
Swish.
The Homeland of Fire Reputation immediately rose to [Adoration].
"Actually, grinding for reputation isn't that hard, is it?"
Yi Lin muttered softly as she looked at the expanse of green names before her.
How did Li Erpang become so arrogant from just earning a "Respect" in Mermaid Country that he even forgot his own last name?
Kikyo lifted her head, her eyes swollen from crying, her scleras still threaded with blood.
One night of tears hadn't been enough to reduce the swelling.
Yet after the crying, Kikyo seemed to have completely let go of her inner conflicts. She appeared entirely refreshed, no longer bearing the previously cold and gloomy demeanor, and her face wore a natural smile.
"You're right, Hero."
"Living on doesn't need a reason."
"Perhaps, this village will become Kikyo's reason to live."
