After a long silence, Sera found a topic to talk about.
"My initial plan was to do a few more days of part-twork before going back because the pay is higher than
usual before New Year's. However, Mr. Schuman arranged a part-tjob forin Salt
City, and since it's closer to home, | decided to go hearlier."

"What job did he get you in Salt City?" | asked.
"It's in a microfinance company. It gets busy at the end of the year, so they're recruiting people. The salary given
is really high too.”
| nodded and did not ask anything more.
"By the way." Sera suddenly thought of something. "If you're going back to Salt City for New Year's, Miss Lane, is
Mr. Schuman coming along too?"

When the car was about to arrive, he said, "Take a rest when we get back. I'll take you somewhere after that."
"Where is that?"
"A herbalist's home."
Xander put on a worried expression.
"It's no trivial matter that you're coughing up blood.
Since Western doctors can’t find anything, you should probably see a herbalist. | happen to know a herbalist with

"Do you often have insomnia?" he asked again.
| nodded. "It's a common problem now."
Almost all of my health issues were chronic and needed tto heal. It was really tormenting. | had neither the

Xander sighed. "Why don't you and Theo separate for stime? Stay in Salt City to receive your treatment.
