Chapter 480
A person was walking out of there.
Shinnara and Pitre’s pupils dilated at the same time.
* * *
―Leeha, Pitre―
“Keket, so you have to give us the food we like-”
“Shh!”
Leeha placed his finger in front of the mouth of Paleo the hound in front of him.
“Puup, what are you doing!”
“Shh, hush!”
Put your hand in front of their snouts to transform into dog form?
And like an animal, hush, hush? The following rude actions resulted in an immediate decrease in intimacy.
I couldn’t care less about that.
‘Pitre…? no way!’
-Mrs. Nara?! Nara! Peep – take your time, it’ll be there soon!
A name called urgently, and a sudden interruption of the whisper.
Even though Leeha cried desperately, there was no reply from Shinnara. That’s all I figured out.
“You, you, if you keep doing this, we-”
“Sorry! I’ll make something delicious next time, so bear with me! Puols! Mr. Blaugrun! Let’s go, quickly!”
“Quit?! Quiiiiiiit—!”
[What? Kkukkkkkk!]
Puols suddenly went crazy as Leeha jumped up and got on his back, but Leeha grabbed the guy’s mane fur as if he was going to rip it out and kicked his side.
As expected, it was an act that would greatly reduce the pet’s loyalty, but fortunately, Puols did not lower his level.
Doo doo doo doo.
Puols immediately increased his speed.
Blaugrun didn’t know what was going on and was just crying while holding Leeha.
“this way! Come this way! Faster! ASAP!”
“Quiiiiii—────!”
Meanwhile, Lee Ha looked at his friend’s window and specified the location of Nara. This is the place you drew on your map, the road to meet the So Paleo people.
‘But why is Pitre there? ‘Did you follow Mrs. Nara’s footsteps?’
What are you going to do by following me? Above all, the timing was delicate.
It had already been several days since Xin Nara had been alone.
If I had followed back, I would have tried to aim for a more reliable time. Throw away the moment when you were most likely to let your guard down and now suddenly attack you?
‘There must have been several opportunities. Throwing away all of that, throwing away any future opportunities – No, if we were to assume this, it means that the entire 5 days of the New World Expedition’s advantage were used to investigate Mrs. Nara. Does that make sense without going crazy?’
Although he thought it was strange, Lee Ha agreed.
‘Well, that’s really crazy…’
It was clear that Pitre was not in a proper state of mind. Lee Ha bit his lip and urged Puols.
The land of paleo dogs.
The jade-colored land had already left, and the place where the Xin Dynasty was was gradually getting closer.
‘Still, we have to go at least 30 minutes more. Damn, I should have just told you about paleo first.’
Cow Paleo is easy to target intimacy, but the distance from dog Paleo villages is quite far. Even at Puols’ breakneck speed, it takes another 30 minutes to get to Nara.
Break through the forest in front of you, run a little more through the meadow, and then emerge into the forest once again. There is a new country there.
“Run, run!”
Let’s go!
Puols are faster than cars and as agile as motorcycles. The ability to run without slowing down even in a forest with dense trees!
[Kyuuu, kyuuuu!]
“Hang in there, Mr. Blaugrun! Even if it’s a hatchling-level dragon, getting scratched by a tree branch won’t even cause a scratch!”
[Kyuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu]…
Just before breaking through the first forest, a shadow suddenly appeared from the edge of the forest.
“Kwieeeeek─────────!”
“Ugh!”
Puols suddenly stopped, and Leeha’s body flew into the air.
Fortunately, the forest was over, so Leeha’s body did not hit the tree, but ended up rolling on the gravel in the grassland.
“Ugh… what is this again…”
Thanks to the gelapong, I didn’t take any damage, but the following was absurd.
The shadow that suddenly appeared and the person looking at him with a surprised expression was clearly a user he knew.
“Oh my, my, what should I do? Mr. Lee Ha, are you okay?”
“Chiyo…?”
Chiyo was there.
* * *
“are you okay?”
Chiyo tried to support Leeha with a very worried expression.
However, Lee Ha did not lean on her touch. Still sitting on the floor, he hesitated back and stood up with his own strength.
Why is Chiyo here? Where is this?
Erica Even in the New World, if you compare the Redwoods, it’s a really long way away!
“Why- why are you here….”
“Yes? Where… is this? At one point, I got lost and was just wandering around. Is there a village or something nearby? ah! Leeha, where were you going? What is that, a vehicle? “Have you tamed it?”
“No, uh…”
Leeha clearly showed that he wanted to keep his distance from her, but Chiyo did not back down easily.
Instead, he snuggled up to Leeha warmly and started asking him various questions.
The following was absurd to see her like that.
You got lost and were just wandering around?
‘Nonsense. It’s a lie.’
Don’t be fooled by the natural expression on your face or the expression of how fortunate you are to meet someone you know.
Lee Ha turned around without saying a word.
It was Chiyo who stopped him from trying to climb up to Puols. widely-! Lee Ha was startled when he suddenly felt his arm being grabbed.
“What are you doing?”
“No, are you surprised? sorry. No, since you didn’t answer what I asked, I thought you didn’t hear…”
“I heard. “I heard that, but I have no obligation to answer.”
“Why are you so angry? I am not Leeha’s enemy. “I’m just curious about what you did during those five golden days…”
Chiyo continued, lowering her head with a tearful face.
His acting skills were enough to melt even his sharp facial expressions.
‘Damn, this girl has bad timing anyway.’
Suspicion was not completely removed from Chiyo. If the opportunity arises, Leeha can talk to Chiyo as much as she wants.
Of course, it is clear that this is not a conversation based on good will, but rather a conversation to explore each other.
‘If we talk here, we might be able to get clues to where she was and what she did and what her identity is.’
That couldn’t be possible.
Lee Ha bowed slightly to Chiyo and turned again.
“I’m also very interested in what Chiyo has been up to these five days, but unfortunately I can’t talk to her right now.”
“Oh my, why? Oh, now that I think about it, where were you going? Where are you going?”
“I’m going now—no, I don’t even have time to explain all that.”
“If you can’t tell me where you’re going, then for what reason you’re going… It’s because I’m too scared to wander around alone in this large place, Mr. Lee Ha.”
Chiyo was indeed Chiyo.
‘I understand what you mean. Anyone could understand the polite intention of ‘I’m not trying to catch a busy person.’
Of course, the reason she was interested in Lee Ha was not simple.
It was natural to have interest in, analyze, or include Lee Ha, but there were other reasons as well.
―Pitre, aren’t you done yet? I can’t hold on to Leeha anymore.
It was to extend the time given to Pitre.
How could Pitre appear in front of the Xin Dynasty? How was Chiyo able to jump out in front of Leeha? It would be best for both parties to pursue the object of interest, but that was not an easy task.
Accordingly, the three musketeers (hereinafter), who were agile and had a wide range of activities, were chased by Pitre, and Chiyo, aka Shinnara, who wandered around Paleo Village and other areas and focused on forming NPC relationships, guarded the vicinity.
Chiyo comes into sight every now and then, but her only ‘enemy’ is Pitre. Although she was a target of caution, as long as she did not display any unusual behavior, Chiyo was simply an object of interest and was not important.
What about the Three Musketeers?
There were times when we couldn’t concentrate on our surroundings because we were competing with each other, but more than anything, Pitre was not an easy user. If you just follow with bated breath without the will to attack, it is not easy to figure out its identity.
Pitre’s appearance in front of Xin Nara today was simple.
Because Chiyo was unable to pinpoint the location of Shinnara because it was in the Gorilla Paleo Village the whole time.
Therefore, he was aiming for the moment she came out on the ground.
Because Pitre diligently followed Leeha’s movement radius, he and Shin-nara were able to communicate with each other just by looking at Shin-nara’s movements, and he was able to get a good idea of ‘where’ she would go in the future.
All of this was predicted from the moment the master of information collection and the master of information analysis joined hands.
‘You idiot… haven’t you dealt with the Xin Dynasty yet? ‘If I wasn’t going to be able to kill him as time passed, I shouldn’t have made the bet.’
If you put your mind to it, you can kill it in 10 minutes!
Chiyota was carrying out a plan to grab Leeha’s legs after hearing Pitre’s rant. If I take this opportunity to owe Pitre a decent amount of debt, it will be easier in the future.
However, when there was no whisper from Pitre, Chiyo became anxious.
Lee Ha was already on Puols, so it was obvious that he was already doubting himself.
‘Anyway, the ugly fur is stuck, but there’s nothing left for me to hold on to here one more time – should I let it go in moderation? I don’t know if Pitre is disappearing after killing Shinnara, but if I let him go already, I’ll be involved for no reason-‘
Quaaaaaaaaang────────────!
“W-what?!” “Ouch!”
[Kyu, kyu!]
At that moment, a huge explosion occurred in the forest in the distance.
The pillar of flame pierced the entire upper layer of the forest and soared up into the sky.
A pillar of fire that can be seen even from where Leeha and Chiyo are standing! I have seen skills like that before.
‘Kuzgunak’sh – no, that can’t be – for now!’
I have to go!
Lee Ha started the Puols immediately.
“Ha, Leeha! “What does that mean?”
Chiyo’s voice was covered by the sound of a pig crying.
Quieeeeek! With a sound, Leeha’s body was thrown out.
“…Tsk. That’s it for now. What is that by the way? “Can Pitre use that level of fire skill?”
Chiyo’s expression, which had been like that of a startled girl crying just a moment ago, changed in an instant.
“Hmm… no, no. Pitre has not been able to deal with the Xin Dynasty yet… There must have been a variable. Poor Pitre, I hope you don’t get embarrassed by the surprise. Is it possible that I might be logged out for the first time in a while? Hehehe.”
Chiyo had already accepted Pitre’s ‘failure’ as a fait accompli.
In that case, she was hoping to fail for sure and die altogether.
If we kill the Xin Dynasty, we may have more opportunities, but it is too late anyway. So what did Chiyo gain during the expedition member’s advantage period?
“Is it just one animal that you don’t know whether it’s a horse or a pig for five days? Sigh… Well, if Leeha really used that pig as a ‘vehicle’… I guess I can get all the information about how he got around in the past few days and his movements. Hehehe, that’s great.”
A small system window was visible to her eyes.
It was a window indicating that the skill 《Eyes of Fascination》 was successful and information about the target.
