When I was about to turn myself over to the shrine, Derek, the hidden adventurer, was about to climb up the stairs beneath the assembly hall.
As for Derek, several Litveal tribes appear worried afterwards.
"We haven't even healed our wounds yet, are we leaving?
Hibi asks, Derek opens for a little while and then nods.
"I can't be here long either. I also need to let my people know I'm alive. When too much time opens..."
When the time opened up, I thought, but I didn't say anything beyond that.
Maybe you think you're going home first.
They'll think you're dead, so help won't come first.
"Hey, are you sure you're okay on your own?"
The man who came out about Derek asks him.
The man was grabbing the spear.
You could be an escort, that was the vibe.
"... I'm fine. Plus, when you join your people, it's tough."
"How can you cross without a weapon?"
The man gives Derek the spear he has.
Derek was confused, but slowly grabbed the pressed spear.
"It's my love spear. Abyss is coming from the rear, so be careful. Graffant has slow legs, and Molls will be fine if he doesn't piss him off. If we're just going straight out of here, it's Abyss who needs to be most careful."
…………
Derek looked at the spear, then thanked him for not saying anything, but lowered his head small.
Derek tried to leave, but immediately turned back to the people of the settlement.
Look at the man who gave me the spear, then look at the crack.
Derek looked at the crack, slightly reddened his face and turned right forward.
Hibi was leaning his neck strangely.
Hey, did this guy fall in love with being nice in danger?
I do think Hibi is pretty beautiful.
Looks like he was talking to a crack in the center at an underground rally to see how things were going, and maybe that's not something that can't be guided.
Steady, you were so hostile at first, you could afford it a lot.
"... that, later, I want to say thank you again. Also, after you calm down... can I come?
Hibi listened to Derek and remained silent for a while, but eventually shook his head slowly.
"... there won't be many people outside who should come to our settlements. If you hadn't been hurt, we would have threatened to chase you back. And the very first word you said, 'I'm going to sacrifice the evil gods'... when it comes to not knowing, it's a lie. Forget about today."
Hearing Hibi's words, the other Litveal tribes are also leaning down.
... securing sacrifice to Manticore?
That's what I'm offering you, so there's no reason to miss a traveler.
Did you even do it this way?
I kidnapped him until a while ago, and the crisis left, so let's be nice to travelers. I can't believe, as a feeling, I guess I'm not going to get carried away.
You can't break it off.
So if you weren't an injured person, you'd have been willing to threaten and chase them back, and vice versa, if you were seriously injured, you'd be helping because you have a burden on travelers.
Manticore had become the wingman to carry him in.
"............... yeah, right"
Derek says so after a little silence and bows his head aloud.
"I thank you for saving my life. But even if you tell me to forget, I'm not going to forget about today."
Derek says so and takes a few steps, then looks back at this one again.
"After this, here... no, nothing"
He had a complicated look on his face.
He seemed unsure whether to say it or not, but in the end he didn't say anything.
However, he looked back and then turned small, and he heard a slight grunt, "It's okay, nothing's going to happen".
What, is that something?
Have you even seen strange demons?
I thought I'd escort him along the way... but when I went after him, Derek changed his complexion to bright blue and ran away.
... seems to be recovering quite well, most importantly.
"Gah."
The other party hung [Highrest] on Derek, who fled.
Because of my health back, my running speed increased even more.
They're pretty rounded up too......
But that status would be pretty dangerous if Abyss attacked me. Yes, but I wonder if it's really okay.
I know you're doing me a bigger favor than you say you don't need me in person.
I don't want to fight Derek's people for bad behavior.
If they get rough, you can't kill them with a bounce.
As I returned to the shrine, I followed Derek at a distance with [Signal Sensing].
I was going to pop up if anything went wrong, but in the end nothing happened.
Someone's sword was falling along the way.
Derek went through, too, so I should have noticed, but he didn't pick it up.
I don't know if you thought a long spear would safely get rid of the demon, or if you decided not to see it because you wanted to use the spear you got in your favor.
When I first saw it, Derek called me a barbarian, but I don't know.
Derek himself seems to think that the most.
Turns out I arrived safely in the shallows of the woods, so I decided to cut off Derek's pursuit and head back to the temple.
... but the route was pretty uneven, so it wasn't anything at all.
Shouldn't we be stopping by more than twice?
Well, that's fine.
