Jacob Valentine left.
Donning a grey tweed cap and cradling Pipi, he merged into the bustling crowd. The day after tomorrow, at noon, he would leave New Ross City and travel a hundred kilometers to Dunmore City to start a new life with Miss Maggie and Sisi.
Without complaints or resistance, he silently accepted Marvin's arrangements. Out of gratitude to the Church of Truth and to the Goddess of Truth Yuniya, he resolutely took on the mission.
"Boss..."
"Hmm," Marvin retracted his gaze from Jacob's retreating figure and turned, saying, "There's no time for sentimentality. Let's go, change your clothes, and head to Old Master Ronan's furniture store."
