The man pointed at the blue door in front of them with his hand.

"It's his house. I'll tell his wife to guide you from now on."

The man moved his hand to knock on the door but team leader Dains grabbed his arm and stopped the man from doing so.

"There is no need to do that. We can wait for him to come back."

The man that was surprised by the team leader's sudden action looked between him and the house for a moment. 

"Are you sure? It may take a while for him to come back."

Team leader Dains released the man's arm with a smile.

"It's fine. We can wait for him. Ah, he said he wanted to talk with the old man... Is the old man his father?"

The man chuckled at his words. 

"No no. He is the village chief. Everyone calls him old man in the village."

"I see."

'Is he the same old man that they were talking about while discussing the ruin?'

Kairen could clearly remember what they said about the ruin.
