“That’s rough. Maybe you guys should get some early sleep?”
“Don’t push yourselves too hard.”
Kaider and Nyran looked at them uneasily.
“Uh, we can talk about that tomorrow.”
“Maki and Chiharu, you two should get some rest as well.”
Chiharu glanced at Maki. Maybe they didn’t want to rest before them. Maki nodded.
“All right. We’ll retire to our room then.”
“Wait a minute.”
It was Van. What was it now?
“No, we can talk about this tomorrow.”
Arthur tried to interrupt him, but Van continued.
“But the Saintesses will not have enough time to prepare unless they know it’s tomorrow.”
Prepare. Right. Chiharu thought.
“We have to see you guys off. So, what time is it?”
Everyone fell silent. Hmm? Van looked at Chiharu with exasperation.
“See us off? No, you are obviously going to come with us.”
We are? What?
“I told you. You must have their permission first.”
Arthur said frantically.
“And how was I going to get that if they didn’t even know we were going?”
“But…”
“I hope you weren’t planning on making them stay behind my back?”
“Of course, not. I wouldn’t do that. It’s just that they must be tired. We could discuss it later.”
Arthur was gesturing to them to return to their room quickly. It seemed like a good idea.
“Well then, excuse us.”
“Wait, you Saintesses!”
Slam. Maki and Chiharu returned nervously to their room and collapsed on their bed.
“Did you hear that, Maki-chan?”
“I did, Chiharu.”
“We’re going with them.”
“Seems like it.”
They both stared at the ceiling. Then Maki opened her mouth.
“Arthur doesn’t want us to go. And Kaider and Nyran tried to stop it too.”
“But Van talked about it like it was already decided.”
Chiharu said.
“Aeris said that it’s better if we don’t go near the dungeon. Because the monsters get excited.”
“Yes. So why would Van want us to go?”
They thought about it and then answered at the same time.
“He’s a researcher!”
“He’s a researcher!”
He clearly wanted to witness the reaction of the monsters.
“He’s Aeris’s nephew, after all.”
“What should we do, Chiharu?”
“Uh, what do you mean?”
“You know, remember the bees?”
“I bet they have more there than giant bugs.”
“So…?”
Maki and Chiharu looked at each other and grinned.
“Let’s go then.”
“To the elf lands.”
And so their journey would continue.
Thanks for the new chapter!
