When Hiro looked up for the first time he saw two figures in the room with him.

"!!!!!!"

The first of the two appeared to be an old man, Hiro recognized him as the man that gave him directions when the transmigrator got lost at the smithies.

"Ojisan, you're here! Have you been here since earlier?"

Hiro tried to hope that they only arrived, but got the answer he didn't want to hear.

"If you are asking if we heard you shouting and laughing like a crazy piece of shit, then yeah we saw the whole thing."

The old man grinned and while his mouth was hidden by his magnificent beard, his amusement could be seen even just from his eyes. Hearing his words though, the transmigrator remembered the other person besides the ojisan.

"....."

A small child looked towards Hiro despite not having eyes. Yes, the one present could only be the young child that got blasted into Hiro's path just yesterday.

"Hello, please forget what you just heard. I will give you treats if you do."

The ojisan then started laughing at the exchange, he laughed so hard he even started to tear up. While wiping his eyes the old man then stood up straight as he started to explain.

"Anyway, introductions are in order. I am Krayto Alabarda, and this young miss here is Jade. You have to thank her, she is the one who nursed you to health and stayed with you throughout the night.

"Jade is one of the most powerful mages in this city. Despite her looks, she is already 16 years old, so refrain from treating her like a child."

The young mummified girl who went by the name Jade then spoke in a robotic voice while she looked towards Hiro. "Hear your cry. Grief. Sorrow. Pain. Are you okay?"

Hiro's heart warmed up a bit when he learned that the bandaged girl in front of him nursed him to health. On top of her being concerned about him.

'Yeah, people come in all sorts of shades, some are bad undoubtedly. But just like how there are plenty of assholes. There are plenty of good people. Jade is one of those who care for others.'

Hiro then tried to stand up from the bed he sat on and bowed in front of Jade. "Jade, thank you so much for helping me. I will repay this favor in the future."

Krayto walked towards Hiro and placed his hand on his shoulder.

"I won't comment about what I heard, but don't go about saying anything you like or you will get hanged for treason. Also aside from Jade, you need to thank two others, a maid from the palace named Vanessa, and a blacksmith striker named Raylene.

"Vanessa found you half-dead in the latrine area of the stables. Raylene carried you all the way here. But enough about that, you have bigger problems right now boy."

Hiro knew of Vanessa, the maid who had metal prosthetics for arms. He would need to visit the smithies to find Raylene. But other than needing to think about what he needed to do now, Hiro had no other business.

After the way Rhyne ended things between them, he had no need to return. So the first thing that needed to be done is find a way to make money and then a place to stay.

'Come to think of it what do I do with my mission now that Rhyne won't even speak with me? Ah, need to focus on the present.'

"I will look for both of them later, I am already acquainted with Vanessa. But I don't know who Raylene is. she must be kind if she randomly helped me."

Krayto shook his head as he answered. "You already know her, Raylene is the corpse-looking girl with a skull mask that hangs around the smithies.

"The first time I saw you, you were helping her with an antidote. By the way, she said 'With this, I cleared my debt.' Raylene also brought Jade here."

Hiro grew amazed at how coincidences occurred, how likely it was that the three people he ran into the second day would be the ones to save his life. Karma or something similar must exist in this world.

The transmigrator confirmed that helping others out in their time of need returned when one needed it most. Krayto who saw Hiro making stupid smiles, coughed and continued his explanations.
