If you receive a sudden promotion, you should try to make a good impression on your boss, otherwise it could be detrimental to your career.

"Alright, let's go to the barracks first, I'll go talk to the brothers about this!"

Medes gave Uriel a wink, and then they left together.

Knock knock knock!

"Vivian!"

Joey didn't leave immediately; he knocked on Vivian's door.

"What's wrong, great traveler?"

Vivian asked softly.

Joey craned her neck to look at the bed. Little Black lay there motionless, not running over to greet her as expected.

What an ungrateful cat!

Joey explained the whole story to Vivian and told her that he would be leaving for a while.

Vivian had no friends here, and she had originally come to get information about Goodman. Seeing that Joey was about to leave again, she became somewhat disappointed.

"Could Vivian have fallen in love with me? I just told her I was leaving for a while, and she's already so sad. You really can't hide your feelings for someone. Look at her eyes, she looks like she's about to cry!"

Joey was overjoyed; he was willing to take on this challenge for Vivian, a young widow.

Can I come with you?

Vivian's words seemed to confirm Joey's guess, and he became more and more excited.

"If you're willing, of course you can. After all, I'm a responsible man!"

Joey's words were getting further and further off-topic.

"Alright, after you kill those kobolds, I'll go back to the village!"

Wait, something's wrong with the script?

Why did you say something like that?

Joey was bewildered by Catherine's last sentence. Wasn't she going to come with him? Why was she going back to the village?

There must be a huge misunderstanding involved.

"that……"

Just as Joey was about to explain, Vivian continued.

"Thank you for taking care of me during this time. You are such a kind person!"

No, I don't want to be this good person!

Joey was completely devastated. It seemed he had been overthinking things. It turned out that Vivian had only ever seen him as a good person, not someone who would take him in.

Without a single qualifier, the world loses its color.

"It's all about serving the people! Hehe, hehe!"

Joey gave an awkward laugh, but her heart was already broken.

He promised to call her before he left, and he would go see Captain Zoro first.

Vivian smiled and went back into the house, closing the door behind her.

Joey felt that she had closed more than just a door; she had thrown Joey alone into a dark, empty cage.

That's terrible!

Bang!

Joey kicked open the bearded man's door, finally finding an outlet for his anger.

"Big Beard!"

"Where is he, Big Beard!"

Joey kicked open the door but didn't see the bearded man.

"I'm taking a dump!"

The bearded man's calm and composed voice came from the toilet.

this……

Joey's anger was extinguished instantly, even faster than calling 120 (emergency services).
