When the hero's father suddenly extended his hand to shake mine, asking me to take good care of his daughter, it naturally drew everyone's attention. Since I had also used healing magic, all eyes were on me.

“Dad!”

The tense atmosphere finally dissipated when Leona, who had run over in a hurry, arrived. She quickly checked on her father, asking if he was okay, and everyone's attention shifted to them.

However, it wasn’t long before the attention returned to me, as Leona's father pointed at me and said, "This boy, the one you mentioned, healed me."

“It’s probably best if we return to the village now. We should also take care of those things. You can rest assured; they should all be dead by now.”

“Yes, we should. We’ll take care of smashing them; you just rest.”@@novelbin@@

I tried to steer the conversation to another topic to lighten the mood. Fortunately, the focus quickly shifted to the frozen kobold statues. The surviving men picked up their weapons and approached the ice statues.

While I could have easily shattered them with a single gesture, I left it to them, sensing they wanted to vent their anger. The frozen kobolds were thoroughly smashed to pieces as if the men were taking out all their pent-up frustrations.

We soon returned to the village, and the men who had gone on the hunting expedition with Leona's father each thanked me before returning to their families.

Judging by the glances I was getting from all around, it wouldn’t be long before rumors spread throughout the village.

“I must thank you again for saving my life and the lives of my friends. You essentially saved our entire village.”

Leona's father bowed his head slightly as soon as we sat down at the table. Silvia, sitting beside him, also lowered her head.
