“If news spreads that we’re actively killing the Duke Kuran’s underling demons like this, they won’t stay quiet. When that happens, we might not be able to casually go gather herbs or seek provisions. We need to be prepared in advance.”
“I’ve instructed the assistants to load as much as possible on our side for this provision. I also secured quarantine certificates so that they won’t confiscate it while inspecting.”
“Reducing the worry about food is good, but I’m concerned about storage.”
Raphael’s worry led Ruela to interject with a proud smile.
“We have a housing system. If you designate a food storage warehouse, there’s no need to worry about it going bad.”
“Right, we have Ruela with us!”
Looking at Ruela, who was smiling after bowing, Tien spoke.
“Well, shall we go herb gathering tomorrow? It’s probably okay to leave Gart’s subordinates alone for a day and let them follow us.”
“That’s a good idea. Ruela, do you have any quests? Outwardly, they seem like very ordinary quests.”
In response to Hazen’s question, Ruela opened her quest list to check.
“I have a few errand quests. Some of the rewards are good.”
“Then, tomorrow, let’s gather herbs, do quests, and try to ease Gart’s side’s vigilance.”
When Kite agreed to the schedule for the next day, Mitchell shouted.
“Here they come.”
The group quickly got up from their positions and prepared for the fight.
Looking ahead, the familiar sight of the wolf walking slowly with a wolf beside it came into view.
Everyone naturally stood in their respective positions, waiting for the gatekeeper Ashina to approach, and then immediately engaged in battle.
With skillful evasion and knowing exactly where to strike, they easily cleared Ashina without much difficulty.
“Is it too easy?”
Raphael mumbled, looking down at the two-headed monster that had fallen.
“It’s different from before. Well, there’s no time for this now. We need to catch the demons, our target, before the overseers of Duke Kuran come. Ruela, if they come before we succeed…”
As Kite spoke, Ruela nodded immediately.
“I’ll teleport right away.”
“Where should we go?”
Mitchell looked around and asked.
Ruela pointed to the direction where the gatekeeper had walked out, as she had seen it from the carriage earlier.
“There should be a big tree over there. There’s an entrance behind it. Let’s go quickly.”
The group hurriedly entered the misty area. Not long after, when they saw a large tree that they could recognize at a glance, everyone stopped in their tracks with tense expressions.
“Do we start as soon as we enter the entrance?”
Mitchell asked as he filled his quiver with arrows.
Thanks to the game’s bag, they could easily take out the arrows they had collected without carrying them.
“Yes. So we have to finish all the preparations before entering.”
Ruela checked if the cooldown of her shield skill had ended and replied.
“If everything is ready, shall we go?”
Tien, who had refreshed the buffs, waited for his mana to fill and spoke.
Taking his words as a signal, the group, with Kite at the forefront and Ruela in the center as usual, started walking forward.
“There it is.”
Turning back behind the tree, they looked at the whirlwind-shaped door that Hazen pointed to.
“It seems like it. Well, is everyone ready? It’s difficult if we don’t trust each other, but we can overcome it and handle it safely. Let’s stay strong!”
As everyone nodded with determined faces, Kite turned his body and crossed the whirlwind door.
As soon as they entered, loud whistling and singing began to be heard.
“Oh, what on earth is this noise.”
Sharp and loud noises made everyone cover their ears when a small, clown-dressed demon with a talent for juggling appeared in front of them.
【Ah, who are you who have come to visit the clown Hori?】
The demon casually laughed and threw a boomerang without giving them a chance to prepare.
“What, you sneaky kid. You attack without a signal. If it weren’t for my quick reflexes, I would have taken a hit. Kite, teach him a lesson!”
Raphael, angry and shouting, Kite bowed his head and rushed toward Hori.
【Kyaaaah. I don’t like fighting. Ouch, don’t hit me!】
A scream, torn thin from the male-shaped Hori’s mouth, flowed out.
Kite, surprised by the unexpected female voice, stopped swinging the sword.
“Kite, don’t let your guard down. That guy is a trickster!”
Hazen sent his summon first and shouted.
Male lead reborn without memories — but he still falls for her.
The person he finds displeasing in this life turns out to be his cherished wife-master in previous life…
Xie Zhi and Fang Xianxing who had known each other for less than three days through a blind date sat in the same car in front of the civil affairs bureau. They had a disagreement and failed to get married.
Xie Zhi immediately took out his phone, slid through his contacts, and randomly selected the next marriage candidate.
The woman snatched his phone and hung up. Looking at his phone wallpaper, she awkwardly changed the subject: “An ancient painting, eh? It looks pretty good, it’s just that the person in the painting looks a bit like me.”
When he heard this, he sarcastically mocked her for being so delusional, completely unaware that, the person in front of him was the reincarnation of Wen Ru, the famous prime minister of Yuan Shun whom he most admired…
