章 73: Trusting Hugh

Since Hugh had agreed to take credit for defeating the Rat King and make sure no one would know Toz was involved, Toz gave him another potion and helped bandage him. Although the potions healed the skin until its effects settled, Hugh's newly recovered skin and muscles would still be very fragile. Both, to protect the injuries from opening up, and in case the wounds do tear open again, it would be better for Hugh to be wrapped in bandages until he recovers completely.

After Hugh started recovering properly, he and Toz began planning how to successfully let Toz avoid the curious and troublesome gazes of the guild and all the other places. Since not many of them would believe that Hugh singlehandedly defeated the Rat King, they wouldn't believe Toz could have done much either. But if those two are the only known factors in the Rat King's defeat, suspicion and curiosity, mostly suspicion, will fill the investigation.
