{Are you sure about this, Kuro? Is there something you saw upon taking this special request? This task doesn’t provide any rewards, Kuro… Are we going to be alright with this?} Chloe asks. Of course, the princess is worried about it. But I have the occurrence already under my control. {Yeah, princess. This might be more efficient than teaming up with someone we do not know. And we’re on a time restraint, right? We cannot afford to stray from our path and let your brother do what he wants on the other side of the man. If you really want to help your Kingdom and your people, now’s the time to act. This is for the best.} I firmly answer. Chloe seems reluctant about it. But since she has said her word, the princess nods her head and answers, {I will always trust you. So far, your decisions have been impeccable, Kuro.} I’ve lost count of how many times I want to shake or nod my head, and this moment is also added to the list. {Chloe, that’s impossible. I’m just lucky. Honestly, all the

“I cannot wait to feel a proper bed, Kuro! I do not know why, but that thought keeps me afloat!” Chloe keeps saying those words again and again as she gobbles up the meat straight into her mouth.As soon as we’ve eaten our meal, Evergreen hands Chloe the key to our room, and Elizabeth escorts us upstairs. Once we’re in front of our unit, Elizabeth utters, “If you need anything, come downstairs! My mother and I will help you!” and then she scutters back downstairs.Now that I’ve noticed it, Elizabeth… mentioned nothing about her father. It is as if he’s out of their existence. Even so, these two ladies are working really hard to survive in this world, where war and other conflicts clash against innocent lives. And the only people who can stop them are… the ones sitting from above.Chloe… is one of those people.Then again, there’s nothing we can do but wait. Little by little, Chloe will reach the Southern Kingdom where her castle is located. And before we can go there, the princess nee

The night has ended in a flash, and the morning sun rises to the sky. Although Chloe has slept with a heavy heart, she finally wakes up feeling anew. Her grey eye bags were no more. And the princess’ hands cease to shiver than ever before.As for me... haven’t slept a wink. Well, I am a gun, after all, so I don’t need any sleep or rest. It’s a surprise that I’m still functioning at a peak condition with no sleep or digesting food at all. For some, it’s a dream. But for me… I kinda miss the taste of sour food touching my tongue or the fact that I’m sleeping like a baby, without thinking of anything at all. A human mind can take limited things at a time, but mine operates twenty-four-seven without breaks.So this time… tonight, I closed my eyes and woke up like a new bud… similar to Chloe.“Wakey, wakey, princess! Rise and shine! There’s a brand new world out there ready to…”I am staring out the window, looking at the villagers starting their day. A few families are already marching to

As we follow the trail, we finally spot the person we’re looking for. It’s a boy way younger than our age. He wears weird-looking but high-quality clothes that catch our eyes. The kid looks around as he crawls farther away from what seems to be moving humanoid statues painted with a bronze colour, slowly pursuing the boy. Two brown statues made of copper and mud… Upon appraising these inanimate moving objects, my system recognises these statues are clay golems and not terra golems, which aren’t the ones we are looking for. Well, if I think about it, these statues look more like they are made from mud rather than terra materials. What’s even a terra? I don’t know… I’ve been here in this world for quite a while, but there are a hundred things I still do not know about. Chloe also says the same. As soon as she inspects the moving statues from afar, she utters, “Those are golems, but not terra golems! Maybe they are different.” I nod and tell her she’s right. The princess has a good eye

{I know this kid has some loose screw in his head - maybe the fame and power have gotten inside - but… we need to be gentle about this. We’re talking about the prince of the Eastern Republic, the place where we need to form an alliance, remember?} I remind Chloe through [Bavardage].The princess replies, {I know. But, I don’t know why, but Prince Faeler is getting on my nerves! Maybe because of the way he speaks… Not the tone, but the meaning behind his every word… Plus, Prince Faelar’s entitled demeanour.}{Yes, I know. But just remember, any unnecessary acts can lead to a disaster.}{I will… Keep that in mind, Kuro.}Chloe and I stare at the spoiled prince, who is now looking at the cavern up ahead. Based on the environment alone, through that cave will be the heart of the Sanctum of Ugmjir. Not everyone has the chance to see it open. But since the temple has appeared before us, it will be better if we can explore and take what we can inside.Prince Faelar also sees this chance and
