"I don't know what are you talking about!"

Teras said confused

"Did you forget we were talking about? The in....."

"Are you alright friend? Did you see a nightmare?"

Har asked him, Har seems to prepare the slime soup so everyone can eat

"I'm fine! It was just a weird dream, not a nightmare, by the way, where is Cara if I remember correctly she went to gather some flowers, why isn't she back yet?"

Isn't this village like 10 km from here?" Har asked him as he packed his things, Lia and Cara were also packing their things "Don't worry about that, the guild will inform someone from the village to pick us up, a carriage will arrive here in about an hour or so" Teras told him, Har looked annoyed "Since we have all this time why don't we go to the river?"

Did the village hire you to fight us off?" A man asked, he seemed to be the leader of the group "Hello there, we are Orion and we are here to negotiate with you not to fight, so how about we have a civil discussion?" Teras suggested, the leader laughed and his crew followed "And what can YOU possibly offer us?" "The opportunity to run away!" Teras replied with a calm smile, the bandits' smiles slowly faded away from their faces, but after some time they started laughing again, this time harder than before "What's so funny?" Teras asked, the leader's response was a kick to the stomach that sent Teras flying, after what they saw Teras's group quickly went into a defensive position "Teras are you okay?" C

    Nobody dared to move, Joker was standing pridefully while staring down at Orion, it was like a wild animal looking at its pray before devouring it, Teras could see a similar aura around the man like Tokkou's, maybe because he was a card possessor, or maybe because both he and Tokkou didn't have good intentions when they met Teras but one thing was for certain This man isn't going to let them live so Teras had to do something in order for everyone to escape "Why are you doing this? If you want to kill us then do it already!" Teras said as he lifted up his head "Why? There is no "why"! I just feel like doing this, are you going to do something about it?" The Joker asked Teras while continuing to smile "If you enjoy causing trouble this much then why aren't you attacking the royal capital? You are the legendary Joker after all" Teras told him ironically, the Joker didn't like that "You are a comedian aren't you? Then how about you tell me a joke, if I laugh then I will let you go,
