225 Lesson 224

"... That's it, that's it!!

When Aotearoa proclaimed out loud and fell on her back as she was, the Deenas came nearby.

"Good luck. Here you go."

It had been quite some time since Aotearoa had finished breakfast and started working on it, and the sun had already begun to set outside although it could not be ascertained from inside the labyrinth.

"Oh, thank you. Mmm, that feels good."

Aeta, who was given a cold towel by Deena, wiped her face with it. As I work on it, the heat was gradually gathering on my head, so sooo much of it pulls off.

"Good. And dinner's ready, so go over there."

"I'm starving."

Layla looked tired. Though I was pinching a break along the way, it looked exhausting and so on because I was in a mock fight all day.

"What? No, you look tired. Were you doing something?

"Hmm, keep it to yourself. Hey."

Leila wanted to show herself that she had grown up in Ethereal Tai, and she was stopping everyone as well.

"Um, because I promised."

"Lord Sota, I'm sorry. I made a promise to Lord Leila... '

Gu Long nodded at Leila, and Atra bowed her head to Ethereum, seemingly unfortunately.

"Well, if you want to keep it a secret, let's not ask in depth. I'm gonna make it better for now, 'cause I was skipping lunch and I'm just hungry."

Aotearoa rises and moves to the table prepared by Deena. Other faces follow it, but Leila was unhappy with Ethereum, who pulled it off lightly.

"Oh, I hope you ate a little."

I meant to say that whine in a voice so small that it could not reach anyone's ear, but it had reached Aotearoa's ear.

I don't know what it is, but I'm looking forward to it.

When I stop and look back, I say that to Leila and start moving.

"Yeah!!

There was a full smile on Leila's face, who nodded happily.

The dinner was a balanced menu and its flavour was impeccable. Aotearoa will talk about her future policy while eating dessert after meals.

"In the meantime, I'm going to move on because I'm done organizing the items here"

"Next,? Is there a goal set somewhere?

Deena thought the clues linked to the information she had gathered so far were the dwarves, the dragon tribe, and the information from this labyrinth obtained from the treasure balls.

"I'm thinking of going around some of the countries I've been to. It won't take long if Gu Long keeps following me when it comes to travel."

Aotea says so and turns her gaze to Kolong.

'If you do not mind my lords, shall I accompany you like this? Because it seems interesting to you lords, especially when you go with Sota. I never thought I'd get blown away or anything. Kakaka'

Remembering the battle of the Golem, the ancient dragon laughed lavishly.

"Well, whatever the reason, it helps that you follow me. By the way, do you mind if I call you Gu Long by name forever?

Aotea recalls using an appraisal in his previous battle with Gu Long to confirm his name.

"Right. We're going on a journey together, so I'd like to call it by its proper name."

"Name, name. For once, you know the sorta... because it's a name that was given to you a long time ago. '

Gu Long goes on a tour of saying his name because he doesn't like it.

"Well, if you don't like it, let me call you Gu Long, as always"

'Hmmm... then why don't you give me a new name?

Aotearoa turns a blind eye to Kolong's unexpected suggestion.

"Like! Mr. Sota, put it on for you!

Leila was a norrinoli.

"Yeah, that might be nice"

Deena agrees.

'Hmm, I had Lord Gregor follow me, too. You're a party leader, so it makes sense that Lord Sota should name the Gu Long. "

Atra snorts and agrees deeply.

"Hiheen!"

I was glad to have more company because I was named Ethereum myself.

"... yes, if everyone tells you, you'll have to put it on. Ha, don't expect too much, huh?

That being said, everyone was looking at Ethereum with anticipation.

"Right...... it's not something that floats right away so give me some time"

Everyone was seen to be discouraged, but it was difficult to improvise it for some time to come, considering it a name to call, at least, all the while accompanying them.

'Well, it's not a rush either. Take your time. Until then, I'll ask you the same.'

Gu Long himself didn't seem to care much at the time, and he was fond of taking the time to make up his mind.

"Well, let's leave the name thing... that's our guiding principle for the future. I'm thinking of heading to Dwarf country first. There's a Dwarf blacksmith over there I know named Antogal. So I'm going to update everyone's gear. Now we have to get Ed's gear."

"Hiheen!!

He was Ethereum, who is also telling Ed to fight in the dark, but Ed was shaking his neck wide and vertical without straying in his squeal.

"I've got my own weapon, and Deena has Andine and a silver bow, and Leila has a gunil... and I want to improve on that because I still have anxiety in terms of protective equipment. I hope it doesn't take damage, but it's going to be pretty tough with enemies in the future."

Talk in memory of the man in the hood of the empire and the man in armor.

"Sure... if it's time we're fighting together, we can follow up, but that's better considering if we're split up"

Because Deena knew Antogal's skill, she seemed to have no objection to the proposal.

"Yeah, I wouldn't disagree if I could be stronger too!

Leila also agreed pleasantly, and Atra, Gu Long and Ed nodded and returned their affirmations when they received Ethereal's gaze.

"All right, let's get to Dwarf country first... before you get out of the labyrinth"

No escape device was found in this labyrinth, so a line went back the way it had been.
