Chapter 59 Part1 (1/2)

(TL: I’ve cut the chapter around 2/5one fate – this assertion fros would readily agree with

Didn’t matter whether one’s relationshi+p was bad or not, or there was soed to the same expedition, every member simply must cooperate with one another No exceptions If not, chances of the expedition spiralling into an uncontrollable h, which would naturally lead to endangerard, both Seol Ji-Hu and Klara lacked the ‘educational’ aspect of what reed, did so idiotic, and provided a pretext And, when she was criticised for it, she got angry, instead Seol Ji-Hu was triggered by her and relentlessly pushed her to a corner afterwards

The result of that was the at icy, as if they alking on thin ice

Klara continued to wipe at the edges of her eyes, her breathing heavy and rough as if she couldn’t get over her anger Seol Ji-Hu deliberately ignored her altogether

Eventually, Sa the toise for this, but can we return to the vicinity of the tomb?” (Samuel)

“Mm? Why?” (Ian)

“It seems that we have left too quickly” (Samuel)

“What do you mean by that?” (Ian)

“I think we should take a short break first I thought that, from what you told us before, the vicinity of the tolanced at the still-sobbing Klara, the ends of his sentence drifting away

“…Apologies She hasn’t been in the tea in some areas” (Samuel)

He revealed the reason for the break with an es, not reallyit

“Now that I think about it, we haven’t taken a single break since we entered the forest in the ht, shall we take a break here, then?” (Ian)

“You ht here? But…” (Samuel)

“It’ll be fine If you’re worried about the effects of the Forest of Denial, then I believe we’ll be fine” (Ian)

“Is that true?” (Samuel)

Ian nodded his head

“A Sorcerer is y If my hypothesis is correct, then the boundary for the activation of that defence spell will be just beyond where we are right now” (Ian)

“Is… that so?” (Saht flickered within Samuel’s eyes It was truly for an infinitesih

“It is hard to believe, isn’t it? A ic spell that encompasses this e even by the people of the ancient Empire You shouldn’t even compare hiet too hung up over it, though” (Ian)

Ian waved his hand around and settled doith a bit of groan

“Everyone, we take a short break! Eat sory!” (Samuel)

Samuel shouted out loudly, and then, silently stared at Klara for a while He stood there staring at her as if he was caught in a dile out to Alex, as still unable to calm down even now

“Alex, let’s talk for a bit” (Saed Alex away to a distance and they spoke softly to each other for a while Alex foraze towards Klara, now in thepacified by Grace

Next up, Samuel walked over to Klara His expression see

“Klara We need to talk” (Samuel)

“Sob! But, that bstard…!” (Klara)

“Stop! You are not a little kid anyatively i the atmosphere of this expedition?” (Samuel)

Klara continued to sniff away in bitterness

“I only, I…!” (Klara)

“I hear you I hear you, so lower your voice I’ll listen to whatever you want to say, so corabbed her ared her deeper into the forest Grace wordlessly followed after the two and disappeared from the vieell

“What a du spat out so on the dried jerky

“Cho Hong” (Dylan)

Dylan quickly warned her, since Alex had joined theain But the latter simply waved his hand about with a weak smile on his face

“No, no It’s fine Honestly, even I don’t have anything to say in her defence… Tsk” (Alex)

While looking at Alex clicking his tongue, Hugo opened his mouth

“Will it be fine for you to not chase after theo raised his pinky

“I ht? Didn’t Sao)

“Well, that…” (Alex)

Alex’s shoulders drooped real low, before he h, dmn it! I don’t know anyet into trouble later~” (Hugo)

Hugo giggled loudly Alex spat out a long sigh and pulled the altar out fro He carelessly placed a couple of plates on it, before throwing on so couldn’t help but ask

“What are you doing? What are you doing with the food?” (Cho Hong)

“I want to at least get her to eat so Also, I should let the others have a chow, too” (Alex)

Alex spoke while not even turning to face her

“Why doesn’t she just co)

“With her personality, she’s not gonna calm down anytime soon All I can do is feed her and hope for the best” (Alex)

“Well, sure thing Co what you think is the best However, if she comes back here and continues on with that btchy attitude of hers, I ain’t gonna take it lying down Okay?” (Cho Hong)

“Che I hear you But still, aren’t you too openly favouring someone here?” (Alex)

Alex carefully picked the altar up and began walking towards where the rest of his tealanced to her side after her ‘sore spot’ was accurately pointed out Seol Ji-Hu was sitting a bit further away, busy sucking on a cigarette

Hugo stopped gulping down on food and sneakily approached the youth, before reaching out with his cupped hands Seol chuckled and pulled out a new cigarette for him

“Keuh! As expected, Seol, you really are quick on the uptake, you know” (Hugo)

Hugo grinned brightly and lightly tapped the youth’s shoulder

“You aren’t feeling down froo)

“No ways” (Seol Ji-Hu)

“That’s right You haven’t done anything wrong Even I didn’t want to touch that coffin, you know” (Hugo)

“Really?” (Seol Ji-Hu)

“Yup It’s like, I was kinda te anything, you know? I kept getting this feeling that I should not touch that coffin” (Hugo)

Seol Ji-Hu looked at Hugo with renewed interest The big man’s Job was supposed to be the ‘Barbarian Warrior’, so the youth couldn’t help but wonder if he possessed some sort of animalistic wild instinct or some type of skill like that

“Besides all that My o)

“?”

With a cigarette still stuck between his lips, Hugo stood back up He then assu to his front and forrave, intense expression

“…If you really want it, then try to take it overburst out in a boisterous laughter Even Dylan began chuckling quietly as well Seol Ji-Hu’s cheeks reddened instantly

“Did I really say that?” (Seol Ji-Hu)

“That’s right, you did! Wowsers, I really wet o)

“Well, I… I just couldn’t understand it I still can’t tell if that thing orth all that greed” (Seol Ji-Hu)

“It was definitely enough to rouse that sort of greed” (Ian)

Seol Ji-Hu said what cae the topic, but a reply did come, anyway

“I don’t know h what that keepsake, the token, was” (Ian)

Ian lightly ed the back of his neck and carried on

“Ifwas most likely the ‘Proof of Castitas’” (Ian)

“Proof of… what?” (Hugo)

When Hugo asked back, Ian clarified

“It’s the proof of one’s chastity It’s one of the artefacts given to a saintess” (Ian) (TL: “Castitas” is a Latin word for ‘chastity’ The author came up with that na a saint only a syo)

“Well, it’s not only the chaste woet canonised as saints, after all Also, since you’re a symbolic existence, you’d be asked to appear publicly every now and then, don’t you think so?” (Ian)
