This ability 42cb071b57 opened up 0a5dd12dc0 a new 180364f397 role for 5ca488cb2c me: interpreter.7909096202f57dbb

Awakened who needed to 677270b1a7 interact with Tutorial Field 70f8a49f29 residents for smooth quest 8418cfff4f progression would value my c3b5635157 skill even more than 4d79ae8b56 combat abilities. I could 06a4327634 earn money, 9c0b6ad9a9 and perhaps 5e6e2780da even ask e3330a2e95 them to eb4f862223 assist me 5f7c621d8e with quests.739452650fd6d773

For now, I needed 7b1c7f69ab to grow stronger. Since my own ef43971bd2 limits were clear, a44c104030 I had to 758f9b8928 stick to the e85d057707 plan of teaching e47aaa4513 Jjikjjiki how to 14378a5e9f transform into a d55d8115fb human.ddde1db71acde64c

Even so, be8ad6c12d the future a6487a52b2 felt less 998528c8c3 daunting now, c006ef19b8 like a 9b296b2d1b ray of 01980cd1f7 light cutting cc3339598c through the 061ba8ce10 darkness.

Even if I 670dc36bfe couldn’t complete a 9b1b3193d4 quest right away, 4c6898a6dc starting with a fc6dd50b01 job in the 712e605f78 village would be a78813b477 a good first d9b98ecf32 step. At least now 43b816e82f I had a 1e8f4862ea direction.

Finding the 4a17ef2193 sight adorable, dee31d2989 I placed 4f772f5040 my hand 0f98ba69bc gently over 7f3d0579c1 the bulging 8835b4b037 pocket. Jjikjjiki let 873adff495 out a 3efb413aed small, contented 0a9e4b0b88 squeak, seemingly 626b41f1e1 unbothered.b742c25c113fa259

Not just the old 0231366146 man but the other dc5adeeade villagers were generally kind c117098657 too.

With the old f4d9fc9c0d man’s help, I ee0ab8cbf7 got a job 9c46bf7096 at the village’s 083326ac33 small general store. Well, calling 3b674717eb it a f18e11aaa3 job was 0ea88ad9e8 a stretch—it a74c9bb360 was more d331629195 like doing 58e7928ff3 small errands 6ee92a604b for some 56e3010824 pocket change.
