"Hey, Dragon Slayer, how are you doing today?"
Halfway there, a man who looked like a local called out to him, then approached with a broad smile and held out his right hand.
"Hey, good morning." Colin smiled and greeted him back, extending his right hand to shake the man's.
"Great weather today, huh? Is this your teammate?" the man said cheerfully. "You brought glory to us here in Thousand Masts City from your dealings with the Elves. Keep up the good work, man!"
Colin smiled. "Thanks for the encouragement."
With that, the man waved and headed toward the other end of the street.
Colin and Ale also continued on their way.
Ever since his name appeared in the paper, whenever he walked the streets without Kase and the others, he would occasionally run into enthusiastic locals coming up to greet him.
He didn't actually know them, but seeing their enthusiasm, he couldn't just pretend not to see them.
To Colin, these greetings from the citizens felt like words of encouragement.
