Chapter 378: Ghost? (2/2)
Evan nodded. He didn't want to deal with ghosts anymore, so he accepted his idea even though the best way was for them to grab the two first before regrouping with Isabelle.
”One more question. Did Isabelle know this?”
”Why do you want to know?” Evan narrowed his eyes while his heart skipped a beat.
”Ah. I don't need your answer anymore since your body is more honest. I will tell her of course.” Kai chuckled, teasing him to loosen Evan's body. He certainly felt how deep the trauma he had with ghosts. ”This will be amusing!”
”Oi, you bastard!” Evan shouted. Kai immediately ran toward Isabelle.
Not long after, Evan was sitting down on the corner of the room, sulking because Kai told Isabelle his secret before leaving.
Isabelle, on the other hand, hadn't talked about it with him yet. After seeing how Evan reacted, she walked toward him and bent down.
”What?! Are you going to tease me too?” Evan pouted.
On the contrary, Isabelle only hugged him as she said, ”It must be hard for you, right? Should I accompany you when you are healing injured soldiers? Maybe I can do something about it.”
Evan fell silent and felt terrible to have doubted her. ”Sorry.”
”It's fine. Scared might be hilarious, but trauma is another thing. What you have is not the former but the latter. That's why I am concerned about you.” She sighed.
”Uhm, thanks.”
”Please rely on me more.”
”Uhm, I will.”
”That's good then. Rest here first while I am searching if I can find another symbol in this place.”
Evan looked at her and asked. ”Did the captain find something here? And do you need help?”
Isabelle thought for a moment and nodded. ”Sure. I need your help. As for the captain, I will tell you while working. Is that fine?”
Evan made a smile and rose from the floor, starting to help her.
Meanwhile, Kai found Tasha in another corridor.
”Tasha…” Because of what happened earlier, he was still on guard, not daring to approach others easily.
”Hmm?” Tasha turned around and found Kai with his stance. ”What happened to you? Are you going to ambush me or something? Or don't tell me you want to do it here? I don't think you have this kind of fetish.”
Hearing her response, he felt relief. It meant Tasha was her usual self.
”I just wanted to grab you to gather in Isabelle's position. Sofia next.” Kai explained.
”Oh? Did you find something?”
”Kinda. That's why I want you all to gather first, so I don't need to explain twice.”
”Let's go grab Sofia then. I will go with you.” Tasha nodded. ”By the way, I don't find anything that requires me to use my Space Magic. That's the reason why you want me here, right?”
”Yes. Besides, I can immediately help the first group with you here.”
”Unfortunately, I can't really make a pinpoint teleportation in a closed space, let alone a labyrinth like this.” She shrugged.
”It's fine. It won't take too long.” Kai smiled and started walking. ”By the way, did you find anything?”
”I only found a few things that didn't have any value to us. Well, they could become money, but that's not important right now.”
”So, no other information.” Kai nodded.
A few minutes later, they found Sofia, who was cleaning up a particular room. The room was just a kitchen, considering he saw a cube with a small hole for firewood. It should be the traditional oven or something.
Reminded of what happened to Evan, he asked Tasha to stop by tapping her shoulder twice.
Although she was confused about his action, she still let him do anything he wanted.
Kai gradually came closer and called her name. ”Sofia.”
”Mhm?” Sofia glanced back and saw Kai and Tasha. ”What are you two doing? You are not doing it in this kind of place, right?”
”Alright. You are the normal Sofia.” Kai nodded a few times. ”We are going to gather right now, so I am here to grab you.”
”Oh?” Sofia nodded. ”Sure.”
Sofia took another look at the room to see whether she missed something.
”All is good.” After a while, she nodded and turned back, following Kai as they returned to Isabelle and Evan.
