Chapter 62
As the sun sank low in the evening sky.
Sari and Osun waited in the kingdom’s central plaza.
Beside them lay baskets woven from tree branches, and at a glance, they were filled to the brim with piles of clothes.
“Dojae! Why are you so late! We’ve been waiting forever!”
Sari waved her hand in greeting upon spotting Dojae.
Osun, both hands already full of baskets, bowed his head in greeting instead.
“What did you buy so much of?”
“Clothes, shoes, bags, food, and all sorts of things! I had to leave the village in such a hurry that I couldn’t pack properly.”
Sari proudly showed Dojae the clothes she bought in the kingdom.
Osun’s deeply furrowed expression made it clear he’d been through quite a lot.
“The kingdom really is the kingdom. It’s worlds apart from the plain clothes back in the village! But what about the leaves? Did you find them?”
“Not yet.”
“Not yet? That’s vague. Does that mean you haven’t found it, or you found it but couldn’t get it?”
“I found them, but I haven’t gotten them yet.”
“Huh? Why?”
“I plan to retrieve them during tomorrow’s finals. If the matchup works out.”
“The finals… the finals? You mean the finals of the tournament?”
Kakdak-.
When Dojae nodded, Sari was startled.
Osun, who had been pouting beside them, also showed interest.
“One of the Grey Elves who entered the tournament had a leaf. So I plan to beat that guy and get the leaf back. And I’m not exactly opposed to winning the whole thing either.”
