Chapter 380: D141. The item within
The next day, early in the morning.
On the outskirts of Border City, a slender girl had already begun her busy day, immersing herself in labor.
The plan of a day starts with the morning, and before the sky was fully bright, she had already risen early, preparing for an arduous day’s work stretching into the late night.
Even though Border City was not short of job opportunities, those well-remunerated tasks were often not suited for a common girl like her.
She relied on sporadic odd jobs to barely make ends meet; if it were just herself, life would not be so hard, but to support everything else, her earnings seemed particularly scant.
With the heavy burden of family falling on her slender shoulders, she could only reduce her sleep, deal with household chores in the early morning, and then hasten out to earn her meager daily wage.
The girl’s appearance could not be considered beautiful, her pale complexion usually burdened with worry and fatigue, but today her face unexpectedly bloomed with a hint of rosiness.
Last night, she had a good dream for the first time in a while, even though the content of the dream had already become a vague blur, but the feeling of tranquility upon waking up was indeed real.
It means that as long as one lives with effort, good things will surely happen!
With a slightly uplifted spirit, the girl pushed open her home’s door and started a new day.

Before stepping out of the house, the girl turned her head and called out with as loud a voice as she could muster:
"Brother, I’m leaving the house!"
Although it was already a bright morning outside, the house was still dark with doors and windows tightly closed.
No response came.
A trace of melancholy surfaced on the frail girl’s face, yet quickly, she readjusted her emotions, boosted her spirit, closed the door, and stepped onto the street, blending into the crowd of people bustling for their livelihoods just like her.
Due to chronic malnutrition and life’s heavy pressures, her stature was clearly shorter than her peers, and as she entered the crowd, she was immediately submerged within it.
The gazes of the passersby were almost all looking down from above; she slightly bowed her head, eyes landing on her toes, ready to quicken her steps towards the work location of the morning.
All of a sudden, from the corner of her eye, she caught a glimpse of a girl of similar height passing by her side.
Seeming to notice her gaze, the girl with jade-like pupils turned her head slightly, revealing a warm and soft smile to her.
The girl was momentarily stunned, lifting her previously downcast gaze.

The Emerald Eye girl walked past her.
But that smile, as if endowed with Magic Power, made the girl stop in her tracks involuntarily, turning her head back.
...How can someone be so beautiful?
Fair skin, gemstone-like pupils, delicately small, as if exquisitely sculpted features... Although of similar height, she was an existence as different from her as heaven is from earth.
An inexplicable emotion welled up in her heart, not jealousy nor envy... but a peculiar feeling, like the contentment rising from deep within when savoring an expensive treat after a long absence.
Good things exist in this world, and that girl seemed to be proof of this very fact.
Realizing the abrupt halt in her steps, the passing girl looked somewhat surprised but also stopped in her stride.
She turned around, her smile now even warmer.
"Good morning, keep up the good work today."
The Emerald Eye girl waved gently to her before turning and walking away.
In that instant, the girl’s heart throbbed, she wanted to reach out, to say something to retain the passing girl, even just to speak a single word.
Nevertheless, her thoughts were like a blank slate, unable to find the right words.
By the time she came back to her senses, the girl’s figure had already disappeared into the crowd.
"...Keep up the good work today," she murmured to herself after a long while, clenched her fist, and set off anew, a faint but resolute strength surging in her heart.

After a day of hard work, the girl finally set foot on the journey home.
Despite being weary, and still having to prepare dinner upon returning home, the girl’s expression was much more cheerful than usual after a day’s work.
Because she worked particularly hard today, not only did she receive a considerable tip, but a familiar patron also expressed willingness to refer her to the Bishop of the Church.
She had already taken her brother to a nearby medical care facility several times, but no matter the treatment, her brother’s condition had never improved. The physician had also once suggested that it was not a simple illness, and with their capability, they might not be able to offer much help.
But if it were a Professional of the Church, or even a personage like the Bishop...
A glimmer of Hope kindled in the girl’s heart; perhaps her brother’s strange illness could truly be healed.

Holding a wonderful longing for the future, the girl gently pushed open her house door.
"Ah, you’re back."
A familiar voice sounded, and the soft sunlight of the evening poured through the window into the house,
