CHAPTERS
The next morning, at the inn’s first-floor dining room, Allen sat at the table with a refreshed face. “Good morning! I slept like a rock last night. Guess it was a good idea to crash right after drinking so much yesterday.” Unlike the three who had suffered through the Feast District all night, Allen, looking perfectly carefree, ordered one thing after another. He was paying again this time, so thanks to him, they could eat a full breakfast just like dinner the night before. “Haaam……- 210.3 K • Ongoing
Leon’s teleportation spell brought the three safely to the front of the inn room. “I’m glad I set up a magic passage right after we arrived, just in case.” Leon rubbed the mark carved into the corner of the hallway wall, erasing it. It looked like a doodle unless one looked closely. “…Hm?” Sniff sniff. Leon flared his nostrils as if he caught a scent and murmured. “I think… something smells really good somewhere…?” Zed didn’t answer and led Harto into the…- 210.3 K • Ongoing
Harto stayed in Zed’s arms for a long time. The noise around them slowly faded, and his tears stopped at some point. When he finally calmed down, he thought he might have cried too much like a child, and he felt embarrassed. “I, I’m fine now…” Swish. When Harto tried to pull away from Zed, a sound made him flinch and tremble. “A rat.” It was true. A small rat seemed to have stepped on leaves while searching for food. Its gray tail swayed as it scurried away with…- 210.3 K • Ongoing
“Ah, no… I told him to wait right in front for a moment…” Leon repeated the same words again and again as he looked at Zed’s cold, expression. It might have sounded like an excuse, but he also felt unfairly blamed. Strictly speaking, wasn’t Harto older than him and supposed to be the one responsible? Then why did it feel like he was the one being scolded? “Or maybe he’s just looking around nearby!” He raised his voice to defend himself. The Feast District was full of sights, so…- 210.3 K • Ongoing
Zed entered the Feast District alone. He had heard someone say that two people matching Harto and Leon’s descriptions had gone inside. Zed already suspected as much. “Damn it…” Zed gritted his teeth. He should have told them everything from the start. No, this never would have happened if Allen hadn’t whispered carelessly in front of them. “It’s called the Feast District. There must be a massive entertainment quarter inside.” If the place were simply for pleasure, it would not…- 210.3 K • Ongoing
The bathroom was as wide as the room. It could have been called a small bathhouse instead of a bathroom. The square stone bath was deep and broad enough for ten people to enter, and hot water gushed endlessly from its center. There must have been a huge spring running underground. The air was filled with thick steam, and there were no windows. Like the room outside, it was a space completely sealed off from the outside world. Click. Ser went behind the partition and came back with a wooden bucket.…- 210.3 K • Ongoing
Zed stood in a wasteland. Fog spread in every direction, and nothing could be seen. It was that dream again. In his hand, he held a small heart. It was something he had once thought would soon die, but the heart was still beating. It was small and fragile, yet the constant rhythm felt as if it wanted to live. Thump… thump…. The faltering beats sounded familiar. With that prophecy, Zed woke from the dream. “…It’s been a while.” Zed opened his eyes and let out a long sigh.…- 210.3 K • Ongoing
“It looked like you had lost your way… but it seems that wasn’t the case. You only needed a place to catch your breath.” As soon as the two of them entered the tent, the woman spoke words that were hard to understand. Up close, she was beautiful. Her skin was pale and translucent, her long eyelashes cast distinct shadows on her face, and her blue dress outlined her figure, giving her an otherworldly air that made her look like a goddess. “I am the fortune-teller Reina.” The…- 210.3 K • Ongoing
That night, Zed and Harto decided to go to bed early. Because of the long days of travel, Zed was also exhausted, and the moment he lay on the bed, his eyelids grew heavy. “……” But before falling asleep, he felt a strange emptiness. ‘Zed… can I sleep with you…?’ Whenever they camped, Harto, in his monster form, always curled up beside him to sleep. It had been the same in the inn at Belnok, so Zed hadn’t minded before. But now it was different. Zed turned his head and…- 210.3 K • Ongoing
The inn was one Allen had stayed at before. It was a four-story building, large in size and full of noise as if guests never stopped coming. The group took rooms on the third floor. Zed and Harto shared one room, and Allen and Leon shared another. The room was smaller than the one they had stayed in at Belnok and had no sofa, but it was clean. There were even two beds. Thump. As soon as Harto entered, he dropped onto the floor. Before coming in, he thought he could still endure, but once he…- 210.3 K • Ongoing
