Chapter 210: Behind the outpost

"Umm... h-hello..."

The black-haired elven mage approached the lone person sitting by the back wall of the outpost.

"...what do you want...?"

The person turned out to be Ti.

The platinum-haired bodyguard with copper-colored eyes.

Though her eyes weren't really visible at the moment since she was hiding her head in her knees.

...and her voice was hoarse from crying...

"..."

That made Lairs stop in place and hesitate.

"...if you are here to console me about Cri and Cal's, thank you, but I don't need any more pretty words. The Sloth soldiers have said enough..."

Ti was doing a good job at controlling her voice but her shoulders would not stop shaking once she mentioned the death of her comrades.

"...fuck me... this whole situation just sucks so hard..."

Lairs couldn't find the right words to respond to that and ended up breaking her gentle act.
