Scene 169

Citizen

Ah, you're the adventurer who agreed to help me! You killed that beast, didn't you? I can tell—I haven't had a nightmare in some time!

Citizen

Huh? You found this ring in the beast's stomach? Hm...

Citizen

Oh... This belonged to my father! I guess this means he was...

Citizen

Thank you for exacting vengeance on his behalf... Perhaps those nightmares were my father's way of conveying what became of him...

Citizen

If I use this ring as collateral for a loan, I should be able to afford food until I find a new job.

Citizen

To that end, I can't reward you with money. But I hope you'll accept this family heirloom instead.
