Chapter 311 - The Great Escape P2 (2/2)

Ronny said plainly while looking at the ca a meat stew inside a pan that was kept over the caize himself

"I won't say you shouldn't have done that, Sir Ronny Because that would be plain old hypocrisy We wouldn't be here talking with each other if it wasn't for the fact that you used Belar as bait

But the least you could have done is be honest with us two I'm sure Belar wouldn't havehis situation at the tione wrong with your plan It's pure luck that we survived your trap"

As he saw the rabbed his ery, he knew that he had to keep his body in an ideal state in this place Eating regularly and practising ranking techniques were core parts of that assign part in your escape But you don't tell soht be as rankers That's not hoorks

I' Maybe he would have agreed to be used as bait willingly to pave the path for both of you

But in doing so, he would have shown the behaviours of a suicidal ranker in his actions during the battle Do you think an Adept ranker, no ht seem towards your battle, would have overlooked that detail? I don't think so"

Ronny sighed and looked at both of the anthropes ere sitting in front of hi there was no response co Don't underestimate your survival instincts as well The way you retired from the battlefield is also couys who played an i that trap successful I' Belar when he was already doo you or myself alive"

Ronny said and i your cups here Stew is done"

Ronny said and brought the hanging pan down from the campfire

He divided it into three portions Renar and Viper took two empty cups, while Eren took the pan for himself

Since they arrived here, Renar had kept silent the whole time Ronny could tell he wasn't okay with Belar's death He could tell from the E-Ranker's face that there were so ry at Ronny for using his junior as bait And frustrated that he couldn't find a flaw in the latter's escape plan He also felt irritated over the fact that he was helpless in all this due to his lack of personal power to change the outcole-handedly

But the butcher didn't interfere Renar's self-intervention He left the guy to his own devices Surely, the anthrope would soon find the answers to his questions on his oithin his head And would see that what he had done was entirely right

After all, Renar knew that Belar's condition at the time wasn't optimistic for his escape even if he were to not be used as bait

Renar looked at the stew inside his cup and saw his blurred face inside it that was illuhed and raised his cup before speaking up:

"To Belar! A young hout his short, miserable life But at least, in the end, he died without feeling any pain May his afterlife be pleasant and peaceful for a change"

Renar offered a tribute to his fallen anthrope junior withhis eyes But he snapped out of it after shaking his head and raised his cup as well:

"To Belar!"

Ronny looked at both of his tea He wasn't sure he should join this weird, non-alcoholic, stew-based toast cuy

One reason was that he was the direct reason behind the guy's death Another difference was he began eating from the pan instead of the cup, unlike Renar and Viper So raising the pan for a toast didn't really seem that appropriate to hi for hiave in in the end– raising his pan as well:

"To Belar!"
