Chapter 276 (2/2)

“By the way, I heard you’re planning to find our guide and perhaps other lanced at Apoline and asked Chi-Woo in a serious voice

“Yes It’s too difficult to find a suitable guide in Shalyh…and since the Cassiubia Leagueto go find one a them”

“I see Then…” E Chi-Woo’s response Then his eyes shi+fted to Haho had a bag on her back

“I am La Hawa I serve God La Bella like the captain and roup as a porter for now,” Hawa said tartly, revealing only the necessity

“A porter…” Emmanuel nodded An expedition team naturally needed so native to fulfill this role, so it was rowth systee carrier It sounds wasteful,” Apoline said and s her hair

“And for now, you said… Well, it doesn’tabout” Yeriel s their responses, Chi-Woo realized that he had ht choice to let Hawa join as a porter If he had uide, they would’ve likely said soold Since our journey isn’t short, I think it would be a good idea to talk as we go…” Apoline said while glancing at Chi-Woo Considering her personality, she would’ve nor the line of ‘Let’s ly, Apoline was very professional in this sort of setting; she clearly separated her public and private self and didn’t forget that Chi-Woo was the captain of the expedition teaht now

“…Yes We should have Mr Ru Ahed inside hishis experience from the Narsha Hara Hawa in the front, but he shook his head to hi the Narsha Harail, was always fair He didn’t go easy on his friends and was always equally strict with everyone

‘I also have to be like that,’ Chi-Woo thought The moment this expedition started, the lives of seven people, including his oould be in his hands With so many people’s survival on the line, this wasn’t the time for him to consider factors like loyalty or friendshi+ps If Haanted the role of a guide, she needed to prove her worth

“Ms Hawa, come here,” Chi-Woo said with determination and placed Hawa in the center of the team They started as soon as the tea on her back and quietly followed the group with her usual emotionless face

Like Apoline said, their destination wasn’t a short distance away They had to go far beyond the Cassiubia Mountain Range andthe shortest path Though they could drop by the Cassiubia League’s ainst it because they would have to take a considerable detour; and he reasoned that ue’s members ere interested in this expedition would probably be lingering near their destination anyways Thus, it seeht rather than going all around

And even when they passed through lands that were previously the De happened contrary to their worries They didn’t see any army, demonic creatures, or even a monster It appeared that news of internal conflict in the Demon Empire was true; and thus, the expedition tea and reach their first destination without any hindrances

The Hala outpost base was a quarter of a day’s travel from their final destination It was a teue set up to conquer the ‘Hala Forest’ The team didn’t expect much since it was supposed to be temporary, but when they actually entered, they were stunned Perhaps it should be expected of the Cassiubia League Even this hastily built base was as big as es There was even a business district where people gathered, and there seelance The expedition teaent request None of the ings, the expedition teaest establishment in the area Yeriel spotted a tavern na a seat

“Do you all want to eat first?” Chi-Woo sat and asked his companions

“It would be nice to have awe should do before that?” Apoline responded Since they had to start their expedition touide even a second faster was better Chi-Woo thought she was right and slowly looked around The place was quite large and filled with people

“What? Is that really true?”

“I’ everywhere People saw the to return”

“Ha I can’t believe it And I heard they were platinuone on an expedition like the Chi-Woo craned his ears around the roo about the Hala Forest It was as he had expected

“Keh It’s been a while since I felt like this” Yeriel chuckled while looking around Many eyes atching Chi-Woo’s expedition teauess why This place wasn’t like Shalyh city, and it was difficult to spot a single huue had opened up their entire city to humanity, there were still hardly any huue e recently

Though humanity’s reputation had increased with Chi-Hyun’s achievements and the victory in Shalyh, the ue still considered the their higher-ups’ orders, there were very feho considered humans to be truly equal to thenificant, and there were onistic relationshi+p with huroups weren’t in an alliance?

‘Huh?’ While Chi-Woo was looking around for soaze He spotted one person looking their way fro a hu, lustrous blonde hair She was a plain, nothing-special waitress—just a country girl with bright eyes and freckles on her nose

It was a bit strange She looked just like a human in appearance But why is there another hu?’ She was bea at him, and when Chi-WooThe hubbub and noises soon faded away Eventually, even the tavern around hirew distant He felt as if he and the waitress were alone in a space where nothing else existed But then the brightly sirl suddenly frowned The pupils in her widened eyes stretched sideways like those of a reptile, and Chi-Woo felt an intangible feeling penetrate his whole body In shock, he instinctively tried to get up

—Hey, what are you doing?

Philip’s question brought his senses back Chi-Woo looked around and saw that everything had returned to nor noises It was as if he had been enchanted

‘What happened just now…?’ Chi-Woo turned and saw the waitress again The girl was s the nervous look on Chi-Woo’s face, she narrowed her eyes and s

—He, llo…?

Looking in the same direction as Chi-Woo, Philip interpreted her silent words

—What? Do you know her?

There was no way Chi-Woo shook his head and let out the breath he had been holding

“I think this is a good opportunity since all the attention is already on us Should I give it a try?” Apoline asked Then, because Chi-Woo was still in a daze about what just happened, she asked again, “hello captain? Are you listening?”

“Ah, yes Go ahead…” Still flustered, Chi-Woo agreed, and Apoline pushed her chair back
