Chapter 16: Boat People (1) (2/2)
“Are you Ms Ru Hiana?”
“How do you know e from Ru Amuh”
“What?”
“Please listen to e without forgetting a single word
Ru Hiana listened to him in a daze, but her expression soon darkened “Where did you ht? Yeah? Just like what he did for us, he told you to relay that hed Most people would have understood by now after he’d said this much No, she probably knehat had happened to Ru Amuh by now, but she didn’t want to believe it, and would continue to search for him
“Tell ood That guy could be chasing us Let’s first escape and decide what to do”
“You can just give h explanation I’ll listen well Please, please…”
Chi-Woo let out another sigh at Ru Hiana’s desperate pleas, and then finally relayed to her everything that had happened since he was transported and escaped the cave
“…I can’t believe it,” Ru Hiana mumbled as she listened to his brief summary “That can’t happen Ruahu…would never…”
Chi-Woo didn’t say anything because he kneords would reach her
“In the first place, can we even trust this guy? Does it uided hi-headed ood point Maybe it’s because he’s been too succinct, but the story doesn’t really make sense from…”
Chi-Woo added, “He also told e Listen to what this person has to say carefully This is my last request, Ruana”
As soon as he ave out
“Are you all right?” The other hero quickly supported Ru Hiana before she fell
“Hey, you Did he really—”
“…He’s telling the truth,” Ru Hiana replied with a hoarse voice as she frowned at Chi-Woo “Ruana and Ruahu are our nicknames for each other We only call each other that e are by ourselves, and we’re the only ones who know them…” Ru Hiana faltered, but she suddenly pushed away the hero supporting her with a resolved expression “Please tell me his location,” she fixed her stance and asked with a firht still be alive”
“Miss, I really don’t reco you to help h estimate, you can just tell me his location”
“I understand your concern, but you should only go looking for hi a solid pl—”
“I said it’s fine, so just tell rily replied
This is the reason why Chi-Woo hadn’t wanted to accept a request like this “I can’t really remember it”
“…What?”
“Why do I have to tell you?”
Ru Hiana looked startled as she pointed her fingers at hi help from Ruahu…”
“I received his help, but Mr Ru A a favor from me; not from you”
Ru Hiana became speechless at Chi-Woo’s cold reply
“Moreover, if I consider Mr Ru Amuh’s request, won’t it make sense for h!” Ru Hiana’s face becalared at hi past hi-headed man tried to stop her, Ru Hiana quickly disappeared into the darkness
“…Ahbut…” the other hero butted in “I understand why you didn’t tell her, but weren’t you too cold?”
“I know” Chi-Woo felt bitter as he continued, “She lost her family…I think I would have acted the same”
“Then why?”
“It’s because of Ru Ah I can’t force her to not look for him, I have to try my best to fulfill Ru A her to die after telling her Ru Aher chance for her to live if she tires herself out after wandering around to look for him”
“I also think so It doesn’t seeht now, there’s a high chance that we’ll also get swept into danger” The long-headed man also added in his two cents
The two heroes definitely had different thoughts and plans than Ru Hiana
Chi-Woo asked, “But are you two not going to chase after her?”
“H her because I received help from her just before but…what the hell, I don’t know”
The other hero scratched his head in annoyance “I was interested in Ru Amuh, so I joined them to look for him, but if your words are true, there’s no reason for -headed man firmly stated his perspective and crossed his arms “Anyway, a hero at his level has already…it’s a really frightening world No, since we don’t have the protection of the World, I guess it can’t be helped”
“Was he that strong for a hero?”
“What?”
“He told inner that saved one world”
“He said that?” The long-headed ?”
“No, he’s right But” The long-headed man continued, “The planet he saved was hit by a star-cluster Crisis”
“Star-cluster Crisis?”
“Hmm It had been a while since an event of that level happened, so it was quite the news for a while in the Celestial Realreater hero than I thought’ Chi-woo clicked his tongue silently
“Anyway, I’ her It’s unfortunate that Ru A-headed man stared at Chi-Woo and continued, “Since it turned out like this, why don’t we ether? Why don’t we find a suitable place to rest while avoiding the rain?”
Chi-Woo and the other hero nodded Having a co a company of three was better than two
“Uh?” At that moment, the other hero widened his eyes and stared past Chi-Woo’s shoulder “Ru Hiana?” he called out “What? Did you co-headed man quickly turned around at the hero’s cries As the other hero had said, they saw Ru Hiana, but she was being held by someone, her mouth muffled and her body tied with a rope
