Chapter 202: Return (2)

After a long time, all the Red Garnet Adventurers gathered together. Ganesha, Leo, Lia, Carlos, Dozmura, Lohan, and even Reylie, were all laid lazily about the guest room in Reccordak’s new building.

“Haah—”

Ganesha was lying on the sofa and yawning while Dozmura, Lohan, and Jinchen, the boar, played cards. On the other side, the trio of Leo, Lia, and Carlos was playing together.

“…So. After a brief stop at the Sanctuary of Annihilation, we will go to the Principality of Yuren.”

No, they were in a meeting. Lia was the most hardworking and not-at-all lazy member of this adventure group. Leo turned to look at Ganesha.

“Can we go there just like that? Isn’t it dangerous?”

“Of course~, we are adventurers. They won’t attack as soon as they see us.”

The Sanctuary of the Altar was of a size beyond imagination. Since it was so large and difficult to take care of on its own, if you introduced yourself as an adventurer, you would be entrusted with a task. Of course, it would be difficult to get into the deeper areas.

“…Carlos. Are you okay?”

While talking, Lia sent a secret glance at Carlos. They were going because…

“The lacquer of the temple.”

They sold an item that would be quite helpful to Carlos.

“What?”

But Carlos only blinked. His characteristic pale pupils moved as if he had no idea what she was talking about.

“…Oh, no. Nothing.”

But, still, the lacquer of the temple could be obtained anywhere if you had money. Then, Leo asked:

“Oh, right! How’s Julie?”

…

Julie woke up from a long sleep. When she opened her eyes, she felt as if her body was being ripped apart, but it was tolerable.

“You are awake, Knight Deya.”

Julie hurriedly turned to see Zeit by her bedside. Maybe it was because his body was too big for the chair and space around him, but he was crouched down in his seat.

“You’re-“

“Sit down. I can’t move.”

Zeit let out a small sigh at Julie as she tried to sit up. It was as if he were rebuking himself.

“Julie.”
