Chapter 225: Return. (1)

Boom—!

Right after the earthquake, the entire bookstore sunk into the ground.

“…What is this?”

Sprawled out in a strange position, Epherene stared up at the ceiling dumbfounded. But the angle was weird. No, the landscape was also weird.

“Why are shoes attached to the ceiling?”

A pair of shoes were stuck to the sky. Had the world been turned upside down?

“…Oh. It’s not the ceiling; it’s the floor.”

It was her body that was upside down. Epherene straightened herself out while rubbing her head. A distant part of her could tell she had a concussion.

“Ms. Epherene!”

Dadadada—

Little footsteps approached as Lia ran through the dark.

“Are you alright?”

Epherene smiled bitterly.

“Yup, I’m fine. You?”

“Me too.”

“That’s good, but why did it suddenly collapse?”

She took out the wood steel as she mumbled; the mana she emitted lit their surroundings. Lia spoke.

“…It’s a quest.”

Lia sounded serious. Epherene tilted her head.

“Quest?”

“Yes.”

A quest appeared in front of Lia’s eyes.

[Main Quest: God]

The last main quest had started too early. Considering their growth and progress, it was a desperate situation that was impossible to clear, but there was still time.

“Come here for now.”

Lia grabbed Epherene’s sleeve and guided her. There were many unconscious people laid about here and there in the hallway, groaning as Epherene walked past with a darkened face.

Trudge, trudge-

On the other hand, Lia paid them little attention. She entered the crevice at the bottom of the bookstore without any hesitation. Her cool-headedness and composure weren’t like a child’s. Epherene asked carefully.
