"They are a group of bandits who attempted a raid some time ago," Sister Lily began, her voice calm yet weighed down by a bitter edge. "It must have been three months already since that incident occurred," she added. "Since then, every week without fail, they return to extort money from the villagers. I tried to reason with them and I told them I would personally hand over the money they demanded. Although I feel guilty towards the kind souls who donated that money to us, I still chose to give a portion of it away. It was the only way I could protect the villagers… and the children under my care."
"We are eternally grateful to Sister Lily," said one of the villagers, his voice filled with deep emotion. "Because of her sacrifices, we have managed to preserve a shred of peace. However... we never imagined they would go so far as to attack and attempt to violate Rita."
