After finishing dealing with the robbers'' invasion, I finally returned home.

    As for the robbers, they were caught by the advturers, they became crime slaves and were sold off to slave traders.

    The money from selling them was divided equally among all passgers

    Ev though I helped them most with my skills but of course I was not going to tell anyone about my godly skills, so I remained silt, anyway I didn''t need their pitiful amount of money. Anyway, I already made my profits.

    "Oh! Welcome back Myne, did you get any good skills?"

    Edgar, the town gatekeeper asked after seeing me, since it''s my daily routine to go to the forest for hunting, so every time I leave the town I meet him and exchange some words with him, he is quite a nice guy.

    "Yes, somehow I was able to," Myne replywhile shaking his head.

    "I see that''s good, I hope now you do not run a the forest like a ghost every day."

    "So wh are you going to give me a party," Edgar asked shamelessly just after saying some good words.

    Ok, I take my words back, he is not a good guy, he just wants to take advantage of every possible situation where he can make a profit, ev if he has to ask a 5-year-old orphan.

    But Myne is not angry because of this, anyway, this is how this world works, and the town gatekeeper''s monthly paymt is not that high, just ough to say that they are richer than a farmer So of course they have to find other ways to get money, Myne thought but the smile on his face never left.

    "Wh I have ough money I will take you best bar in town and you can drink until you pass out, that''s my promise", Myne said with a fridly smile

    After that, before Edgar could say anything, he tered the town and headed toward his home.

    While walking Myne looked at Edger''s status that he gets after he use [Appraisal?Complete] on him.
