The next morning, I woke up feeling sore but determined. The events of the previous day replayed in my mind, and I felt a strange mix of pride and anxiety. I had faced danger and come out stronger, but there was still so much I didn't understand about Lise and her world.
I got dressed and headed to the guild, determined to take on another mission. I needed to earn more money to pay Lise back, and the thrill of adventure was starting to grow on me.
As I approached the mission board, I noticed Lise already there, scanning the available tasks. She looked up and smiled when she saw me.
"Ready for another adventure?" she asked, her tone playful.
"Always," I replied, grinning. "What do you have in mind?"
Lise pointed to a mission that involved investigating a series of mysterious disappearances in a nearby village. "This one looks interesting. Want to team up again?"
