Previously Catherine decided to leave Cherish village because she was annoyed when she saw Raphael who immediately left without waiting for her to say something first.However, now that Catherine was at the Adventure Guild building in Amethyst City, she felt a little awkward because she had left Raphael alone in Cherish Village.The problem is that the Cherish village is a bit unique and not everyone can get out of that strange area, Catherine is sure that Raphael will not be able to get out of that Cherish village area."Hey, Cat! You came back alone? Aren't there still Adventurers with you there?" asked Anna, the female receptionist who had previously spoken with Raphael."Hah?!" Catherine, who was surprised to be asked like that, became confused about how to react to the questions directed at her."Even though I came here to pay for that man's work, he helped quite a lot by saving the villagers," Anna continued without noticing the change in Catherine's expression.Catherine just
When Raphael opened his eyes, he realised that he was currently in the middle of a burning village. Around him was a blazing flame, ready to devour anyone in its path, Raphael widened his eyes in shock as he realised his current state."What happened?!" Raphael said with sweat pouring from his body, he began to feel the heat of the fire around his body.Raphael, who was panicking, also intended to escape from that place, but he just realised that he couldn't move his body at all at this time. Raphael could only freeze there without being able to move his legs."Damn it! Why can't my legs move?!" Raphael kept trying to move his legs, but no matter how hard he tried, he was unable to move.While Raphael was focusing on moving his legs, suddenly the next attack hit Raphael, now it's not just his legs that are having problems, his ears are starting to have problems too.Slowly Raphael could hear screams full of pain from around him, the longer the sound echoed in his eardrums. Making
When they arrived at the inn, Ettienne, who was still curious about what happened today, pushed Raphael into the room to discuss today's matters. What worried Ettienne right now was Catherine's involvement in the current matter, she wanted to ask Raphael directly. “Tell me what you did today. Why did you get together with Catherine?” Ettienne, who was impatient, immediately lambasted Raphael with the question he wanted to ask all along. "Could you please shut up and let me rest," Raphael replied while rolling his eyes lazily, he knew that Ettienne would immediately ask him like this. Raphael actually didn't expect that Catherine would come back to bring him back to the Adventure Guild. Even though Raphael didn't expect to be picked up again, especially when Catherine returned when she had just finished absorbing the chaotic energy in Cherish village, of course today's incident became a big misunderstanding for both parties. Raphael only hoped that Catherine would not complicate the
That day because Ettienne saw that Raphael was sleeping to rest, he just put the dinner he brought on the nightstand in Raphael's room. Then, Ettienne decided to immediately go back to his own room.In his room, Ettienne thought again about what he had heard before from the chatter of the Amethyst townspeople, He didn't know if this was a bad sign for them or what.Looks like Ettienne will have to think about how to get a good image in the eyes of the townspeople. Of course, Ettienne did not want to live a life filled with anxiety like the one he had lived back in the Crimson City before."If this is the case, then I can't help but have to build a name by working for the Adventure Guild." Ettienne stroked his chin while starting to think what he and Raphael had to do to get a decent life in the city of Amethyst.Ettienne needed to discuss this with Raphael, in case his friend could help him come up with other ideas for them.Finally, Ettienne decided to eat his dinner, then immedia
"You can trust me, I will complete the mission well," Raphael said while trying to get Anna to give him a mission, it would be great if he could do the mission that Anna had together with Ettienne. For a moment Anna hesitated a bit, but in the end she still said the request the Adventure Guild was currently having, “Actually there is one wish you can do. Currently the Adventure Guild is being asked to gather ten Adventurers for an expedition, if you wish we still have five spots available.” Anna also explained the mission she has now. A wide smile spread across Raphael's lips when he heard how Anna explained about the missions he could do, fortunately he even got Ettienne to come too. “When are you guys going on the expedition?” asked Raphael trying to ask about the details of the expedition that Anna said. “About a week from now they will be going to the city of Sapphire. If you really want to join, fill out this form and give it back to me when you have filled it in," Anna replie
Today Raphael and Ettienne were scheduled to meet the merchant they were escorting to Sunlight Village. They made an appointment in front of the business district area of Amethyst City.Raphael and Ettienne had been preparing since morning for this mission. Especially when they remembered that this was their first escort mission, making them quite worried about the progress of the mission this time."Does the person we'll be escorting… this time know about our intent to take on a mission other than all at once?" asked Raphael quite worried about this, because he wasn't sure the merchant would want to be left behind when they cleared things up for another mission."I previously explained the situation to the people in charge of the Adventure Guild and they said the merchant didn't mind," Ettienne replied while nodding his head, he understood why Raphael had asked about this.After they had waited there for quite a while, finally a fairly large cart pulled by a horse came into view
To arrive at Sunlight village, Raphael's group had to pass through a dark swamp which was known to be quite dangerous, plus the mission to clean up the monsters was there. And right now Raphael and the others were about to arrive at the swamp."Sir, as I said before, I will deal with the monsters when they appear and you take refuge in Ettienne, remember not to move without our knowledge." Before entering the swamp area, Raphael once again reminded them what they would do when they encountered monsters.Ettienne, who was used to Raphael always repeating his sentences, only smiled at Albert. "You have to get used to my friend's babbling, sir. He's used to it," said Ettienne, mocking Raphael."Thank you for reminding me, otherwise you would have died long ago!" Raphael, who did not accept it, immediately cast a sharp gaze at Ettienne, who was still mocking him.After travelling for these two days with the two youths, Albert had become used to the extreme jokes Raphael and Ettienne m
Slowly one by one the monsters jumped towards Raphael with their fangs ready to bite. After fighting for a while, Raphael began to notice that in the swamp there weren't only monsters that looked like crocodiles.At this time Raphael was slightly dumbfounded when he saw a monster that looked like a mermaid. However, this mermaid looked very scary with eyes that looked red, like they were about to bleed, just like the resurrected monster that Raphael met on that cursed path that time."Why is there a monster like this? Is it really a monster like this that is commonly seen?" muttered Raphael still can't believe that he will again see a scary monster like the one he met when he was on the cursed road before.Upon seeing the terrifying monsters, Raphael was immediately determined to kill all of them as quickly as possible. If this was the case, Raphael would have to change his tactic, he couldn't fight until he finished all of these monsters, what he feared was that these monsters mi
Hearing what Catherine said at this time, at first Raphael couldn't believe what he was hearing, but seeing that there was no sign that Catherine was lying, Raphael came to believe that this news was genuine.Even though Raphael still couldn't believe it, somehow Catherine did it to make Andrew decide to leave Pearl City, Raphael was still happy with this good news, however they couldn't continue to be in Pearl City which was full of criminals."What will happened to get us out of Pearl City this time?" Ettienne, who still couldn't believe what he was hearing, became very curious about what Catherine had done to get them out of Pearl City."What is certain is that Catherine has done something to make Andrew finally agree to leave this city and continue our journey to the city of Sapphire." Raphael could only say this because he also didn't know what Catherine had done at this time."Somehow I even feel that Andrew will do something to us for making it like this," Ettienne replied fe
Andrew was not happy with what Catherine said at this time, he still couldn't believe what he was hearing at this time, how could this little witch dare to say such things to him in front of his soldiers like this."How dare you say that to me!" Andrew shouted loudly at Catherine without forgetting while raising his index finger towards Catherine angrily.It seemed that if no one was here it was certain that Andrew would run up to Catherine and attack her with all his strength because he was too annoyed.Even though she was quite surprised by what Andrew had done, Catherine remained calm in her place, not moving in the slightest at this time. Catherine reciprocated Andrew's treatment without releasing excessive emotions in return."But, you know best that as the Captain of this expedition, I am the one with the authority to make decisions. So, I myself will determine Raphael's punishment." Finally, Catherine also dropped her final attack on Andrew with the current facts.Andrew cou
There was a big fight between Raphael and the male bandits who came to attack their group. However, the fight didn't last long as reinforcements soon arrived and drove the bandits away.However, according to Raphael there was something strange going on here, there was no way they would just come like this, then leave after seeing help coming. Raphael immediately remembered about his friends who immediately left there to save themselves."What about them?" Raphael also intended to run towards the tent used by his Adventurer group, he wanted to see what was happening there.But, not to mention Raphael managed to take a step away from there, he already heard that he was called by someone. When Raphael turned around he found Andrew standing there with his proud face while glancing fiercely at Raphael."You! Stay here, I'll be interrogating the patrolmen on duty today!" Andrew also issued an order and forbade the patrol officers to leave the scene."But-"Raphael was just about to mak
As it got late, Raphael felt that the atmosphere around him was becoming increasingly tense and cold. Starting to sense that the guests coming tonight would soon bar their fangs at them.It's just that until now Raphael still didn't see any movement from them, making him quite suspicious of what was happening. Though now is the most appropriate time to launch an attack on the expeditionary group.Not only was it the middle of the night, but also because by this time the patrol members were quite caught off guard having already made two rounds of patrols and found nothing, so they had little intention of going out on patrol."Even though I was expecting them to attack at this point, why haven't they made their move even now?" muttered Raphael confusedly, he still didn't understand what the criminals were thinking.Having to be wary of attacks by criminals that could happen at any time, Raphael didn't move far from the tents of his group of Adventurers. If Raphael saw any sign that
It was only then that Raphael learned that Catherine had a secret place where they could hide if their group of Adventurers were attacked by criminals in Pearl City.That way Raphael was calm enough because at least his group of Adventurers could be a bit safe with the help given by Catherine. It's just that Raphael was a little suspicious of these criminals, weren't they afraid of the risk they would take by attacking the official expedition party from another city?For some reason Raphael thought that they were related to what James and Andrew had said earlier in the main building. Was Andrew keeping them here on purpose to finish them off? Raphael realised that what he was thinking was quite reasonable.Given that their group of Adventurers were troops brought personally by Catherine and Raphael guessed that Andrew didn't like this.It seems that because of his greed, Raphael guessed that Andrew wanted him to be in complete control of this expedition and use Catherine as his pup
Raphael had to wait a few moments for the argument between Catherine and Andrew to subside. After that Raphael also saw that Catherine walked out of the previous tent.At that time Raphael thought that this was not the right moment to tell Catherine the information he had. So, Raphael decided to immediately step away from that place to return to his patrol area.So that whole night Raphael followed his patrol obediently and luckily nothing bad happened that night. Because only one group was formed for the night patrol, Raphael could only rest when the sun rose. . . .Having not slept all night, Raphael woke up from his sleep at noon after the next morning he immediately returned to his group's tent to sleep and rest.When Raphael woke up from his sleep, he immediately came out of the tent because he heard a commotion that was quite disturbing. Raphael was quite curious when he heard that there was a noise coming from outside.What surprised Raphael when he was outside the tent
The rest of the night passed smoothly, thanks to the help from Ettienne, Raphael was not suspected when the core of the expedition made a check for trouble in the surroundings.Raphael, who was pretending to be asleep at that time, heard the reason they gave for checking the tents used by everyone.Due to last night's unusual events, Raphael heard that there had been a lot of whispers being heard among the soldiers as well as Adventurers. They were quite curious about what happened, so that the core members of the expedition made a sudden check.Robert and his two friends glanced at Raphael suspiciously, he suspected that Raphael had done something to make the core members of the expedition check last night."Is this your doing, Raphael?" asked Robert in a low voice, not wanting anyone else to hear what he was saying.Raphael shook his head slowly "No, I just went to meet Catherine at her tent last night," Raphael replied while telling the others about what he did last night after d
At this time Raphael was back to using his usual black robe when he wanted to act, usually he wandered around society with his casual appearance without a robe, now that he had to sneak into the residence of the leader of Pearl City, he had to use this robe to cover his appearance. .Right now Raphael was trying to be as calm as possible to enter the residence, he had to pay attention to his surroundings as there were many people standing guard there to protect the place. It's just that Raphael still doesn't know where the guards are.In order for Raphael to enter the residence, he first had to go take out the guards that were around the main building which was in a luxurious neighbourhood that had several buildings around it.If not then Raphael would make his target alert and he would most likely be chased by another guard who would soon come to arrest him and he would immediately make Andrew and his interlocutors become alert and be even more careful than before."I have to find
Throughout the day until nightfall everything went smoothly without anything suspicious happening. It was only when it was night like this that Raphael decided to meet Catherine, he chose this time so that not too many people would see him meet Catherine later.Currently in a fairly large circle along with several troops brought over by the Amethyst city government as well as the Adventurers were surrounding a bonfire while enjoying their dinner.Seeing that this was the right time to sneak in, Raphael gave Ettienne the signal that he would immediately go to meet Catherine first."Say something while I'm away so no one suspects me," Raphael whispered to Ettienne for help before slipping away."Don't worry, I will do something to cover your departure." Ettienne nodded his head understanding what Raphael meant at this time.After making sure everything was safe, Raphael slowly moved from his position and started away from the crowd of people who were gathering for dinner that night.T
