Rumour of our Hero

Naofumi: "Hm?"

About an hour before arriving at the next village, I heard a strange sound while working in the carriage.
There are wheezing sounds coming from a carriage next to ours. When I look outside, I saw a man with an impatient expression on his face, holding onto a bag.

Naofumi: "What's the rush?"

The key to being proficient in business is the ability to act curious.

Naofumi: "Hey, you over there, what’s wrong?"
Villager: "I need to return to the village on the other side of the mountain quickly."
Naofumi: "Why are you in such a rush to return to the village over there?"

The man wanted to buy medicine for his parents but Filo ran past him.

Villager: "Yes, every second counts."

I understand the circumstances of this man who caught up to my carriage.
Hmm...The cost of getting to the other side of the mountain should be around 50 coppers.

Naofumi: "Filo, how fast can you get there if you go at top speed?"
Filo: "Uhmm, let's see… If I were to run without pulling the carriage we would arrive quickly."
Naofumi: "Understood."

I glanced at Raphtalia who read my mind and nodded.

Naofumi: "I'll take you there for 1 silver is that fine?"
Villager: "Eh!?"

The man has a shocked expression.

Villager: "I just bought medicine, I don't have any more money..."
Naofumi: "One silver is already cheap you know? You can repay me with medical herbs when we get there. That's my final offer."
Villager: "In that case......"
Naofumi: "Alright it's done. Filo!"
Filo: "Okay~!"

Filo leaves the carriage on the side of the road and turns around.
I pick up the man and put him in the wagon on Filo's back.

Villager: "Uwah!"

Filo carries the wagon with both hands and dashed at full speed.
Raphtalia is waving away from the carriage.

Filo: "I'm leaving!"
Villager?: "Oh!"

Dotadotadota!
When Filo runs seriously, she is two times faster than an average Filolial.
We arrived at the man's house in the village across a mountain in no time.

Villager: "What frightening speed......"
Naofumi: "Don't you need to give your parent the medicine? Don't drop it."
Villager: "Oh, right!"

The man enters the house. I enter after him as I have yet to receive my compensation.
It is a very normal house in a farming village.
I heard coughing sounds as I stepped inside.

Villager: "Mom, I brought medicine. Endure it and drink."

As I walked towards the voice, I saw a pale old woman who looks as if she is about to die at any time.
What medicine is that, the effects seem greater than any I know.
Hm...

Naofumi: "Hey. Before you let her drink it, boil it in hot water first."
Villager: "Is that ok?"
Naofumi: "Pass me the medicine"

I received the medicine from the man and fed it to the old woman while rubbing her back.
The skill Medical effect Up seems to be working.

Old woman: "Cough...... Cough......"

The old woman somehow managed to finish the medicine.
In my eyes, I can see some light scattering.
Apparently it was pretty effective.
The old woman's condition seems to have improved by leaps and bounds. Some redness returned to her complexion and her coughing has decreased.
