Sir!

As Philip lifted his gaze, Maeve looked up at Ian.

I didnt know you were skilled in healing Thank you, Ian.

Its not that deep. I only did what Ive seen before.

As if considering it a joke, Maeve weakly smiled.

Well, if you say so, it must be true.

Maeve clenched the hilt of her sword.

Struggling to stand, she added,

Put the protective gear back on, Philip. Im going to fight.

What?!

Philip jerked his head in surprise.

Please reconsider, Sir!

?

You havent fully recovered yet. Your wounds will worsen.

I can wield a sword with just one hand. Im fine.

But-

A faint laugh escaped Ians lips.

I cant believe Im witnessing another comedy like this.

Maeve turned to him at that moment.

What do you think, Ian?

Well what youre saying makes sense.

Ian scratched his chin as he spoke.

Philips expression brightened.

Youre absolutely right!

Is that what you think too?

While disappointment laced Maeves voice in return.

Well, there probably wont be another skirmish tonight anyway.

Ians words werent finished yet.

Maeves helmet tilted.

What are you saying? If you mean youll handle it alone again-

Its already over.

Its ultimately the same wordswhat?

Maeve stiffened, and Philip, who had opened his eyes simultaneously, spoke.

So, the commotion earlier was caused by you fighting against the source of contamination, not demons?

Ian shrugged.

Maeve swayed just after that.

Again it turned out like this.

She pushed away Philips attempt to support her and raised her visor.

Her red hair cascaded down.

Maeve looked at Ian without wiping the bloodstain from her mouth.

Can you tell us what happened?This chapter is updated by nov(e)(l)biin.com

Its impossible, but

Im too lazy to do everything.

Ian turned his gaze and quickly spotted a suitable person.

It was because the mans expression showed he wanted to join the conversation.

You might find it more convenient to hear the details from him.

Miguel came running.

Where would you like me to start from?

Maeve replied with a serious expression.

From right after I fell.

You understand my thoughts. Please sit down; theres much to tell.

Miguel gestured and gestured with his hands and continued the story.

Instead, he was looking at Maeve with the expression of someone who had just found a fallen gold coin on the road.

Maeve averted her gaze.

But this time, asking for permission seems to be the order. What do you think, Ian?

Amidst Philip and Miguel sending desperate glances, Ian replied.

Removing the culprit doesnt mean the forest has been cleansed. It implies that there are still monsters beyond.

Hope filled the faces of the two men.

Ian added nonchalantly.

So, lets camp here tonight and leave at dawn tomorrow. It would be more convenient to investigate that way, dont you think?

No, Sir!

Philip shouted with a look of disbelief.

Miguel closed his eyes tightly.

This time, instead of finding Lou Sola, he resigned himself and let out a sigh.

Thats a sensible suggestion. Understood. Thats what well do.

Maeve nodded contentedly and immediately turned to Philip.

Prepare the camp, Philip.

I understand.

Philips voice, which seemed to be crawling, responded as he moved hesitantly.

Ian turned to Miguel, who was now dejected.

You stand night watch.

Miguels eyes snapped open.

Me? All night?

Either that, or you fight.

I meant wed take turns. Philip! You stand behind me!

Miguel rushed over.

Finally seated on the ground, Ian let out a sigh of relief as he removed his mace.

Now I can relax a bit.

Inhaling deeply, he muttered to himself.

It would have been fine to just go back.

Maeve, sitting beside him, suddenly spoke.

You were planning to come back later anyway. Its more efficient to go together.

Though her words felt a bit like a reproach, her suggestion was warmly welcomed by him.

Time was pressing, and he had fled after grabbing the seeds.

He might be able to find more loot later.

Unaware of his true feelings, Maeve sighed as if impressed.

Tomorrow, Ill take the lead. I hope you dont mind.

Do as you please.

Since there probably wouldnt be much fighting anyway.

After swallowing his retort, Ian closed his eyes without saying another word.

He really didnt want to move a finger anymore.

The next day. The journey back was smoother than Ian expected.

While the forest hadnt been cleansed, most of the remaining monsters were hiding from the sunlight, making progress relatively easy.

They spent about an hour occasionally dealing with carnivorous trees.

Unbelievable

The group arrived at the center of contamination.

Ian didnt need to inform them of that fact.

I knew it would be a mess, but I didnt expect it to be this bad.
