+*''Ara immediately returned to the village to share the news. Jen Che was looking at her with surprise, as if she didn't expect Ara to keep her word.''
+*{{StoryIcon|?}} '''Intimidating Man:''' ''I'm glad that it's not the monster that attacked the Capital... But looks like we will still have to get rid of it since it attacked a person.''
+*{{StoryIcon|Ara}} '''Ara:''' ''Attack? I'm barely hurt!''
+*''Ara hid her hand, but it was already too late.''
+*''The scratch was smaller than an average cat scratch, but strangely, it was slow to heal, and was still bleeding.''
+*{{StoryIcon|?}} '''Intimidating Man:''' ''You shouldn't dismiss the action just because it's a small wound. Even if it is a holy beast, the moment it attacked a human being, it's holiness bears no meaning. We can't just leave it be.''
+*{{StoryIcon|?}} '''Kind Lady:''' ''But the Capital is in shambles. What good is informing the Capital when we don't even know when they'll come?''
+*{{StoryIcon|?}} '''Intimidating Man:''' ''We should take our chances at a big village. It's not going to be cheap, but it will be better that way.''
+*''Ara looked on at the villagers discussing amongst each other, and touched the wound on her hand. This wasn't something she had a say on.''
+*''Ara heard about a similar case when she was young. A holy beast rampaging in the neighboring territory, so they requested support from the Haan family who were known martial artists and have sealed a holy beast.''
+*''She thought it was strange to fight against a holy beast, so she asked Aren. Aren, who, despite not being an adult, was preparing to lead the support troops as the eldest son, contemplated before he finally answered her question.''
+*''Not all holy beasts are good, Ara. Ara couldn't hep but wonder if they went to take down the beast for a similar reason as now.''
+*{{StoryIcon|Ara}} '''Ara:''' ''But it was a young beast. It's too early to assume that it's bad.''
+*{{StoryIcon|Eun2}} '''Eun:''' ''... Stop Ara. Those humans are right. This is not something you should meddle in.''
+*{{StoryIcon|Eun2}} '''Eun:''' ''Need I remind you again that holy beasts are also living things. If it decides to live with humans, it will be worshiped as a guardian spirit. If it starts attacking people, it will be treated as a beast that it is.''
+*{{StoryIcon|Ara}} '''Ara:''' ''Still...''
+*''Ara persuaded the villagers.''
+*{{StoryIcon|Ara}} '''Ara:''' ''Um, the white weasel had a wound on its leg. Perhaps it lashed out because of that?''
+*{{StoryIcon|?}} '''Kind Lady:''' ''If that's all, it will be fine... But what if you're wrong?''
+*{{StoryIcon|Jen Che}} '''Jen Che:''' ''... I agree with what she said.''
+*''Jen Che readily sided with Ara. Ara was curious to see Jen Che suddenly so willing to support her, but waited for her next words.''
+*{{StoryIcon|Jen Che}} '''Jen Che:''' ''Besides! Even if we send people to the next village over, it's going to take forever to find an exorcist. Let's leave this to her!''
+*{{StoryIcon|Jen Che}} '''Jen Che:''' ''And you! Follow me. Let's take care of your wound first.''
+*''... ... ... ...''
+*''Jen Che held Ara's hand and turned it around, looking closely with a serious expression on her face. Ara reassured her.''
+*{{StoryIcon|Ara}} '''Ara:''' ''Don't worry. It's strange that it's still bleeding, but it's not deep. Wounds like these usually heal by itself.''
+*{{StoryIcon|Jen Che}} '''Jen Che:''' ''Hm... I don't think it's that simple. Grandma told me about this.''
+*''Jen Che collected the dried leaves, flowers, and roots scattered all around the room and mashed it to create a medical paste and put it on Ara's wound. Ara helped a bit when wrapping the bandage, but she was good with her hands, especially for her age.''
+*''Jen Che kept looking at Ara while she made the medicine and wrapped the bandage. It seemed she was feeling sorry, or perhaps she had a request... or maybe even both. Ara made sure to sound friendly.''
+*{{StoryIcon|Ara}} '''Ara:''' ''Thank you for tending my wounds. Does your family run an apothecary?''
+*{{StoryIcon|Jen Che}} '''Jen Che:''' ''Well, yes and no. Oh! Take this! It's a good luck charm.''
+*''Jen Che took off her bracelet and wrapped it around Ara's wounded hand. Eun looked at the bracelet carefully.''
+*{{StoryIcon|Eun2}} '''Eun:''' ''...... How strange.''
+*{{StoryIcon|Ara}} '''Ara:''' ''This bracelet?''
+*{{StoryIcon|Eun2}} '''Eun:''' ''Yes. It's a charm. It should be good enough to treat your wound.''
+*{{StoryIcon|Jen Che}} '''Jen Che:''' ''You can't take if off. When you incur the wrath of a spirit, your wounds might get cursed and heal slowly. You have to take care of the wound, even if it's light.''
+*{{StoryIcon|Ara}} '''Ara:''' ''Thank you. You're so knowledgeable Jen Che. Did your grandmother teach you this as well?''
+*{{StoryIcon|Jen Che}} '''Jen Che:''' ''Hehe, yup! Our family served the guardian spirit for generations.''
+*''Jen Che said proudly. That must have been the source of Jen Che's pride.''
+*{{StoryIcon|Ara}} '''Ara:''' ''That's amazing! To tell you the truth, our family also served a guardian spirit. We served the nine-tailed fox.''
+*{{StoryIcon|Jen Che}} '''Jen Che:''' ''Really?!''
+*{{StoryIcon|Ara}} '''Ara:''' ''Huhu, yup. We're more similar than I thought. I also have a wise old woman in my life who gives me advice.''
+*{{StoryIcon|Ara}} '''Ara:''' ''She can be scary, but she means well.''
+*''She could feel that Eun was not happy, but Ara decided to ignore that for now. As Ara regaled Jen Che with different stories, Jen Che slowly lowered her guard and smiled.''
+*{{StoryIcon|Jen Che}} '''Jen Che:''' ''Oh! Is that all? I'm glad you're not a bad person.''
+*{{StoryIcon|Jen Che}} '''Jen Che:''' ''Hey... I helped tend your wound, right? And you also want to help the holy spirit... right?''
+*''Ara nodded her head enthusiastically.''
