It didn't take long before Sprout passed out from the speed I was moving at, which wasn't that weird considering that he was a normal human, well, in body at least.
Having went through so of Sprout's most sensitive experiences recently, I didn't really despise him that much, nor did I respect him, he was just another one of those who were extrely unfortunate in their life, sowhat similar to my experience, he did make a mistake accepting the offer of the demons, but…
'Most humans would accept it if they were in his situation…'
Of course, that didn't an it was the right choice, it was just the most tempting one and the one to give the fastest results. Everyone has their own choices to make, as for what would have been my choice if I was in Sprout's place?
'Unnecessary.'
I only viewed the whole 'stream' of Sprout's mory as a learning opportunity, I wasn't planning on thinking too much about his life choices, I would have likely refused the demon's help though, I wasn't the type of person who would choose to let go of his past experience by simply erasing, but that was just my first hypothetical, I wouldn't bother to delve deeper into that question anyway.

'Almost there…'
After running for almost twenty hours, which were only that long because I had to severely lower my speed to adjust it so that it wouldn't cause harm to Sprout, we were finally a few minutes' worth of distance away from 'Green Earth Village'.
As it wasn't even that far from battle city, it was only obvious that it wouldn't take more than a day to reach the village, I could already see the village's humble yet beautiful gate by now.
"Ooooh! Isn't this the young hero that saved the village less than a month ago?"
"Eh? It's really him! I wonder what brought him back here?"
"I don't know, but it would sure be great if he is actually coming back to stay for a while!"
"Stop daydreaming, there is no way such a talented young man would waste his ti here…"
"You are being a logical fun killer once again! Let dream as I wish!"
"Well, It's not like I don't understand where you are coming from, life only beca better for the village as days passed since he subdued the bandits back then…"
"Yeah, more harvest and less work, not to ntion that we don't have to pay the extra 'taxes' that the bandit groups collected thanks to the protection of the reford bandits."
"Indeed, but that's already enough help to receive from a group not to ntion one person, so stop thinking about these dreamy ideas."
"Whatever, let's just wait and see, he seems to be heading towards the Chief's house…"
As I marched into the village, I could hear several ongoing discussions between the villagers, which seed to be mostly centered around , though none of them ca to talk to directly.
"Who is that guy he is holding though…?"
"Could it be that the young hero is into…"
"What kind of bullshit are you spouting! Watch your tongue, it's obvious that he is soone who is in danger, the young hero probably ca here to ask for the chief's help to rescue that young man."
"Of course! That does make much more sense, I don't know what ca over to have such weird thoughts.."
'What the…'
I couldn't help but feel kind of baffled by the last young villager girls' thought process, though it was a bit weird for to princess carry soone, not to ntion a guy…
'Let's not do that again…' I thought as I arrived in front of the village head's house, before I knocked on the door…
Knock. Knock.
"Coming… Oh! It's young Lan!"
The door opened revealing the village head who seed to be a bit…
'Was the unsealing that important? Or was it that the sealing was simply too damaging?'
I couldn't help but have second thoughts as I saw the village head's appearance, it has been less than a month, yet he seed to have already aged backwards a few years, that elder was indeed too vicious…
The village head seed like he wanted to rush and hug as a form of close greeting, but Sprout who I still carried seed to stand in the way.
"It's nice seeing you so soon!" scratching his head instead, he smiled awkwardly towards as he asked, "What could it be that brought you here…? This young man is…"
"We can talk about it, but first, I need a place to let this guy on…" I hurriedly interrupted as I could already tell that the village head's innate ability was already doing its work, I wanted to get rid of having to walk around with Sprout in this way, it was starting to get annoying already…
"Of course, co in, you can put him there," the village head said as he pointed towards a mini couch that we could lay Sprout on.
"Alright, thanks."
I didn't hesitate before going through the door and finally getting rid of Sprout's nonsensical burden…
"Would you like to rest first or…" the village head said as he gestured towards the chairs…
"No need, we should go ahead and discuss my purpose for returning," I said with a serious expression, though I wasn't too tight on ti, I didn't want to gamble with it, my sect joining ticket only beca more precious for to waste after I managed to obtain the info from Sprout…
"Sure then, take a seat," the village head already moved the chairs closer as he put them opposite to each other…
'As expected of a semi-mind reader…'
It wasn't hard to tell that other than being considerate, it seed that the reason for the village head's fast reactions was that he already understood parts of the reasons behind my hurry, hence why he didn't waste any ti.
