System vs Rebirth

"We're thankful for your help." The village chief lowered his head to Noel. Brad had confirmed the mine, so his words were more credible than both Noel and Anna.

That was the reason why he wanted to bring Brad to the mine. He saw how Anna fought against the bandits too, allowing him to know that lying was not a possible option.

"It's fine." Noel smiled. "Although it's hard for me to ask this, can I ask you to allow these people to stay with you for a while?"

The village chief immediately had a troubled expression. Their village was already full and they wouldn't have enough food to feed these many people. If it was only two or three people, he would agree without hesitation, but it was too hard for him to keep them.

Brad suddenly stepped forward and approached a muscular man among the villagers. They had gathered outside to greet the hero that eliminated the bandits, so all people from the village was here.

Brad lowered his head to this muscular man and asked, "Can you please make them a house? Just chopping the wood and make a big shelter for all of them is fine. There's no need to be that extravagant."

"Well… I can do that. If you just want a shelter to survive… I can make it within a month."

"Thank you so much, even if we need to sleep on the floor, we are grateful as long as we have a roof above our heads." The women thanked him.

Noel was thankful for Brad's help, but to his surprise, Anna also came to the village chief and took out a small pouch filled with coins.

"This should be enough for their living expense for a month. I'm sure that they can help the village after that." Anna smiled and handed the pouch to him.

"This…" The village chief was surprised for a moment before nodding. "I understand. I'll help as much as I can…"

To request the knight's assistance, he gathered the money they had, but to think the knight would even give some of them back to provide assistance for these women.

'One month?' Noel looked at her with his eyebrows twitching as if asking her, 'Eavesdropping?'
