Chapter 526: Planning (2/2)

”Okay, okay… calm down you two…” Their teacher and elder's soothing, deep voice resounded in the channel in the next moment, calming the two firecrackers.

”Galina, are you sure you and the young master are fine out there? What happened to him, do you know? Why did he suddenly fall… unconscious?” He asked out, though trying to sound calm and collected, a hint of worry could still be heard in the back of his tone.

”W-well…” Galina sighed, hesitating on how she should begin explaining everything that happened. In the end, she decided to be honest and not hold back anything. ”So…”

…

Though she took a long time explaining, on the outside barely a minute have passed, the two girls were still listening to the Captain about the next plans.

”I understand that you are all worried about him. But from what we have seen, he is more than capable of protecting himself. No matter what sort of trouble he lands in, I'm fairly certain that young master would find a way through.” The old man said, with a growing, compassionate smile slowly stretching across his gruff face.

”Still… we are not a family that would leave one of its own in the mirky swamp.” Captain added after a moment enjoying the growing worry in the two girls' expressions. ”Let's settle down for the night and rest. Before we rush forward blindly, let's use tomorrow to explore the situation a bit more around us and then set out the next day. Does that seem okay? I know you are worried, but we still shouldn't run headfirst into the unknown. Who knows what sort of trouble lurks around us?”

He explained, turning his eyes towards the rest of the still empty camp, and added.

”After all, the others still haven't returned, we still have no idea what is actually out there.”

Just as he said those words, the sound of footsteps reached his ears. Turning towards the direction he was shocked by what greeted their sight.
