When I got back to Nifa Inn I went into the living space with Teine right away. Nimi, Pafa, and Hiero were around the table for breakfast. I gave a morning greeting and they smiled happily and greeted back. Hiero smiled and pulled the chair beside her so I thanked her, sat, and Pafa toddled over and set tea in front of me. I smiled at Pafa too, thanked her, lifted the cup, took a sip, and wet a throat that had gotten a little dry. I looked at Nimi with my eyes. She was talking happily with Teine. Hiero pulled my sleeve and asked with a smile,
"How was the camping training?"
"It went well. The students were honest, and they got along with the adventurers… come to think of it, Hiero, do you know Tears of the Plain?"
"I saw them with Grize a few times~. Pretty flowers, right?"
"Yeah. A student named Monica…"
