Chapter 377: 16 Year Old Inglis and Leone’s Homecoming (5)

Weve got no choice! Glis, please!

It was obvious what Rafinha wanted Inglis to do.

Leave this to me.

In short, break the door open.

Inglis stepped forward, ready to kick it, when

The door slowly creaked open from the other side.

! Leone?!

Rafinha peeked inside.

And the one who gazed back was not what she had hoped for.

GGRAAAAAHHH!!

An undead stuck its face towards Rafinha.

GYAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!!!!

GRAAAGGGHHH!!

It reached out to grab Rafinha.

But Inglis was already on the move.

Her small fist slipped past Rafinhas cheeks, slamming into the undead.

With a force reminiscent of an arrow, the undead crashed into the wall at the end of the descending staircase.

I would ask you not to touch Rani.

Contrasting Inglis confident smile, Rafinha was scared out of her life.

Aah, jeez! That SCARED me dont surprise me like that!

Rafinha then shot the undead that Inglis had knocked over with her healing arrow.

Im not looking, I see nothing, I dont see anything!

As the undeads body disintegrated in a grotesque manner, Rafinha turned her eyes away and mumbled to herself.

Lets go, Rani. Leone might be deeper inside.

Yeah!

Its because of your letter that we came to Arlmen today.

Considering that Inglis and Rafinha wouldnt have come if not for the letter, Leones earnest nature had become her saving grace. Leone might have been able to fight her way out of the cellar, but she might have been caught off guard by the undead pretending to be dead in the hallway.

But then the Knights came to visit, and they said they wanted to talk. I invited them in but then they started to act strangely, and then!

And you had no choice but to fight them

Rafinha interjected, and Leone nodded in agreement.

They wouldnt listen, and I tried my best not to hurt them, but they wouldnt go down, and they moved so fast So I had to defend myself. They're Knights; they protected this city, and I I

Reliving the traumatic event was clearly overwhelming for Leone, and her hands trembled as tears streamed down her face.

You helped me, and I could return home because of it, but I shouldnt have come back. Theres no way theyll forgive me for this. Its all my fault!

In Leones eyes, she believed the Knights of Arlman hadn't truly forgiven her, and once they learned she was back, they conspired against her. Now, having felt forced to defend herself, Leone bore the weight of guilt for their deaths.

Thats not true! You're not at fault, Leone!

Passionately, as if her own reputation was at stake, Rafinha hugged Leone tightly.

Right, Glis? RIGHT?!

Yeah thats right.

Inglis joined Rafinha in comforting Leone.

Think about it, Leone. Do you recognize any of the Knights who came here? They were all strangers, werent they?

Eh? Y-, yeah I didnt recognize any of them. Im not too familiar with the Knights

But there are some faces you'd recognize outside the gate, right?

Eh?!

They want to apologize to you, Leone. They said they witnessed your bravery in defending the city, and they regret their previous misconceptions.

Thats right! The Knights outside said that! Though I didnt really recognize them

One of them is the Knight who reprimanded you when we first arrived in Arlman.

Really? But Glis, you have a keen memory, so it must be true! Look, even the one who scolded you before sees you differently now. So, those intruders must be!

Rafinha hesitated, searching for the right words7

Must bewhat, Glis?

Rafinha, with her heartfelt intentions but somewhat muddled thoughts, was endearingly genuine.
