The group continued their travel.
Watching the group heading deeper and deeper into Alren,
BL couldn’t help but ask.
“Didn’t we agree to only search on the surface?
The inner region can be dangerous.”
“We need an open area…” W replied.
Although neither Ren nor BL understood what she intended to do, they followed along anyway.
“Do you have a paper?” Ren asked.
“Here…” BL handed him the notebook and a pen.
Ren wrote two words on the note and showed it to both of them.
Man maroo
Both understood that it was the code, but they didn’t confirm it out loud.
After finishing, Ren turned the notebook back towards himself and edited it without anyone noticing.
Manan marooe.
Then he tore the paper, crumpled it, and threw it away.
Swish~~~~
The paper flew backwards and fell on the ground and began rolling.
The group left.
Behind them, the paper continued to roll before crashing into a wall.
A poster got peeled off from the wall.
It started drifting with the wind.
It crossed several buildings, shops, and hotels before stopping in front of a furniture shop.
Footsteps approached it.
A shadow loomed over the poster.
Step~
Then it stepped on the poster and continued forward.
Kai kept moving, his hands resting behind his head, as he walked into the shop.
Behind them, the text on the poster began fluctuating.
Inside the shop.
“Why come to a furniture shop?”
Grey-haired asked.
Elvan also looked puzzled.
“Can any of you use a Creed?”
They fell silent.
Kai moved forward and grabbed a hammer from the shelf.
“Exactly.
We are here to get some weapons before heading to collect supplies.”
“Well…” The grey-haired boy stepped forward, clasping his hands.
“Before that, can…
we head to the restroom first?” he asked awkwardly.
Kai’s face darkened at his tone.
It was kinda…
girlish.
But he agreed anyway.
“Sure.
There will probably be one in this shop.”
Now their task had developed from collecting weapons to escorting a noble to the restroom.
In front of the restroom, Kai and Elvan stood at the door while the grey-haired boy entered it.
It was a single-person restroom.
Both waited outside.
Occasionally, Kai would knock on the door to check on Grey-haired. You are reading on g.com, the official source.
A few minutes passed.
Kai closed his eyes.
Seconds later, he opened them again.
He turned towards Elvan first.
Seeing Elvan standing beside him, he turned towards the door and knocked.
“…Done?”
“Yeah,” the grey-haired boy replied.
Soon, the sound of water flushing out came, and the grey-haired boy exited the restroom.
Click~
The door opened, and he stepped out.
Then he looked at Kai and asked,
“Where is the uncle?
Did he go to collect weapons before us?”
Kai quickly shifted his gaze beside him.
Elvan wasn’t there.
Kai froze.
He was right here seconds ago.
Where can he go?
Kai turned towards the grey-haired boy, only to find Elvan standing right there.
Kai stepped back, gripping the hammer in his hand.
“Where is that noble?”
Just as he questioned,
Elvan vanished.
Kai felt his eyelids grow heavy.
Thud~
With that, he fell and fainted.
