    <span style="font-weight:400">Hearing the door opening again, "No more visit-"


    <span style="font-weight:400">"It''s me," Keith was the one who entered the room. His expression brightened, "What''s up, Keith?"


    <span style="font-weight:400">"I brought you some food," Keith raised a lunchbox up.


    <span style="font-weight:400">Herrick''s eyes turned crazy, "I was missing that! Gimme!"


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Pff." Keith chuckled as he handed the lunchbox over. The beastman didn''t hesitate as he went to town on the food. As he did, Keith''s expression turned strange.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Are they starving you here?" The way he ate was like he was starved for days. He was a rabid beast.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"No. I just missed the food of the ind." Herrick couldn''t stand the food given here.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"They gave me stale bread and some soup! And the fruit was horrible." The food was something he couldn''t take. It was meant only for health and nothing more!


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Ah, speaking of fruit, here." Keith summoned a basket full of fruit. It was filled with different types.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Woah! What''s with the fruits?!"


    <span style="font-weight:400">"A get-well gift from Fira and the dorm mothers." When Fira heard about Herrick being injured, she was worried. The three couldn''te, so they made a gift basket full of fruits for Keith to bring.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"I see," Herrick''s expression softened, "Tell them thanks."


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Gotcha." Keith looked around, "So, the only thing you have to do is rest?"


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Nope. I watch over Little Herc!" Herrick smiled as he looked at the nt. That was the only thing he was doing to pass the time.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"I see." There was a moment of silence before Herrick warned, "Keith, you need to be careful."


    <span style="font-weight:400">"...I know." Even without Herrick saying anything, Keith understood he had to be careful.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"No, I meant you need to be careful of who''s pulling the strings."


    <span style="font-weight:400">"..."


    <span style="font-weight:400">"What Melor said was wrong. It wasn''t a group of demons who attacked us. It was a group of elves." That was something Herrick knew for sure.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"..."


    <span style="font-weight:400">"They had a scent that only elves had." One whiff and Herrick realized it.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Did you tell anyone about this?"


    <span style="font-weight:400">"You''re the first person I told. I can''t just say that it was elves." Herrick couldn''t do that. He didn''t have enough information. And it would open a whole can of worms. The beastmen would probably go crazy if he did.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"I''m the first person. However, there might be others this time around." Herrick sighed. There was no way he was the only victim.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"And you need to be more careful. I think you will be the next target."


    <span style="font-weight:400">"..."


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Those other times aren''t going topare to this."


    <span style="font-weight:400">"I don''t know what you''re talking about." Keith finally spoke up.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Quit ying dumb. I know you were attacked by a group," Herrick pointed at his nose, "Remember, I''m a beastman. I have a sensitive nose." He remembered Keith returning home that day, and he could smell blood on his body.


    <span style="font-weight:400">However, Herrick chose not to say anything. Since Keith didn''t say anything and acted fine and dandy in front of the rest, he kept quiet.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"..." Keith went silent again.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Also, Melor saw the situation of your cart getting attacked."


    <span style="font-weight:400">"..." Keith grabbed his head, "There was that." Hepletely forgot. Melor was there when those elves tried to destroy his cart. He witnessed the entire situation!


    <span style="font-weight:400">"And this is what I get for messing around too much," Herrick sighed.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"What do you mean?"


    <span style="font-weight:400">"The people who ambushed us were the ones I beat to a pulp."


    <span style="font-weight:400">"?!"


    <span style="font-weight:400">That was something Herrick had recognized. When Herrick was in eye contact with those guys, he realized he had met them before. It was the same ones who talked down to him. He had beat them up in anger.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"This is retribution, I suppose."


    <span style="font-weight:400">"When have you ever been the type to be regretful?" Keith joked.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Shut it," Herrick''s expression turned red.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Alright, you should rest up now." Keith sighed as he left the room.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Kay." Herrick smiled as he took a fruit from the basket.
