Chapter 22-2

Duke Adelairas Mansion, second-floor hallway.

It was evening when Sion and Hanette finally returned to the mansion, and they headed to the study after being called by Robbins.

After a brief conversation with Robbins, they came out into the hallway again.

Sion looked around and climbed the stairs first.

Sister, do you know what that means?

It means to spend the night with you.

Its okay if you know. So, what do we do now?

Is there anything difficult about it? We just need to go there and sleep for a few days.

Is that all?

Sion asked tentatively, thinking of something else.

Their destination was still undecided, and he needed to obtain the Exceed Rain.

Since Robbins had made an interesting proposal, he wanted to see if Hanette had any thoughts.

Okay, if thats all, what else do you need?

Everythings fine I just want to choose the location.

So, you want to choose where were going?

Right. Is that okay?

Hmm

Hanette looked at Sion suspiciously.

There must be a reason for such a request.

Perhaps it had something to do with the gloves he bought at the auction house.

Whats the reason you want to deciding?

Then let someone else decide.

What? Are you giving up too easily?

I just asked because theres a place I wanted to go to.

Sion lies easily and cautiously looks around.

If Hanette investigates about Exceed Rain, it would only cause interference.

Of course, it wouldnt be good for Hanette to choose a travel destination, but there was already a plan in place for that.

Where do you want to go?

I thought of heading east. I heard theres a lot of delicious food there.

***

In the eastern region of the Kingdom of Alain, in the middle of a forest.

Sion spent the first day in his lodging and only managed to escape on the second morning before Hanette and her escort knights.

He had to finish quickly before they noticed his absence.

If he could return before lunchtime, he could easily play it off.

There is light, but buried in darkness. At the end of the shadow lies his tomb.

Sion hurriedly moved his feet, trying to find a place that met the given conditions.

The location where Exceed Rain was sealed was summarized in two sentences.

The place was hardly ever touched by human feet, and even the entrance was skillfully hidden by magic.

Buried in darkness means there are many trees, and at the end of the shadow means they come together as one.

As he went deeper into the forest, the sunlight disappeared.

Faint shadows were drawn along the surrounding trees.

He had to find the center where the shadows gathered.

I think Im almost there

Sion stepped forward, checking each shadow.

As he moved forward, the shadows became lighter and the darkness deepened.

However, amid it all, he could see the line created by the shadows.

Here it is.

Sion reached out his hand, carefully, discerning the subtle differences.

Then, a wall made of magical power gradually revealed its form along his fingertips.

Since I have the qualification, if I go in like this

Confidently, Sion pushed forward and went inside.

Then, the wall made of magical power swallowed his body and eventually erased it completely.

..Its too clearly exposed.

Suddenly, Sion found himself in another space.

Seeing that all sides were covered with cliffs, it seemed like he was in a cave.

In the center of the cave was the sword he had been searching for so desperately.

Exceed Rain
