If you know her, don't you know her address, too? Why did you have her put her address on the resume?

I... I don't need another address.

The doctor said I could fill in her address, and that she could help me if I ran into any trouble again... as a way to repay me for helping her out before.

'Help her out before...?' You mean you actually helped treat patients before?

Yeah... I know I've messed up a lot. I just want to... make up for that. I've learned a lot of useful knowledge... Really!

I want to help everyone, just like how you're helping lots of people. I want to help make everyone's lives better!

Please! You don't have to pay me!

That... That won't do.

Wh-What?!

What I'm saying is. Let's find another time for a proper interview.

And it's nice to meet you again, Gretel!

Ahh... my neck hurts so much... Now we're finally done with the employment contracts of the second and third batch of recruits!

I really don't get why my sister loves dealing with these HR documents so much. I just can't get the hang of it.

Well, now that I'm done, I might as well go for a walk outside.

It's only been a couple days since I last came outside. How come this place feels so much more crowded?

H-Help! The scaffolding over there has collapsed, and someone's buried underneath!

I'm on—

Coming! Quick, someone go pick up the first-aid kit at Rhodes Island's office!

Yeah! The doctor there will take some time to get here. Everyone, come help me move the rubble out of the way!

I'll—

Nymph? Don't worry about this. We're on the case. You just leave this to us.

Oh, okay...

Nymph, it's been days! You're finally back!

Hello, ma'am. Did you run into some kind of trouble?

Right, right! I've had this pet fowlbeast for the last couple years, and it disappeared all of a sudden the other day...

I'll help you find it!

Oh, don't you worry about that. Somebody helped me find it the other day. I just wanted you to have a look. Do you think it's gotten fat after its little outing?

Did the Rhodes Islanders help you find it?

Rhodes Islanders? I guess... not. Just an ordinary somebody who moved onto the street not too long ago.

Oh, okay...

Nymph spends some time strolling around the city. She runs into many who are in need, but she also runs into even more of those who are willing to lend others a helping hand.

It's not just Nymph or Rhodes Island who's helping others.

Finally, Nymph makes her way back to her house. On the door is a sign with a drawing of Nymph that she installed a number of years ago. Everyone who comes to her for help can immediately recognize it.

Underneath the sign is a sentence that reads 'If you need help, turn left and proceed to the Rhodes Island office! —Nymph,' which she added not too long ago.

She whistles happily and erases the text.

Then, she takes the sign down.

I never thought there would come a day when the people here didn't need 'Nymph' that much anymore, or that it would make me so happy.

I guess maybe I should apply to go on a few field operations and see what it's like outside Kazdel.

Nymph watches the pedestrians come and go. There seem to be many familiar faces in the crowd. She even thinks she might've spotted the Sarkaz named Gretel for a moment.

She greets everyone in the area, and in her heart, she quietly says a single word: 'Thanks.'
