Capítulo 72: Temporary Truce
"Ban-Ban…Banning?!"
Avril could hardly believe her own eyes. Banning, who had left the village long ago, why would he appear in this gorge?! And right in front of her?!
Just as Avril's emotions fluctuated, Elle took the opportunity to seize control of the body and immediately stabbed at Banning with her twin blades!
Banning saw the situation and immediately turned and fled, explaining as he ran.
"Wait, wait! I'm here to help you!"
"Shut up, you filthy bastard! I have to kill you today!"
Elle completely refused to communicate and used all her might to make Banning her blade's departed soul.
While chasing, Elle gradually sensed something wrong. Previously in Ira Village, she was superior in speed, so why couldn't she catch up to Banning now in this gorge?
(What's going on? Did this guy not use his full strength last time?)
Elle's momentary faltering gave Avril a chance to regain control of her body in the blink of an eye. She stopped chasing Banning.
"Sister, now is not the time for self-destruction!"
The angry Avril made the still-shouting Elle obediently shut up, then Avril sincerely apologized to Banning.
"I'm sorry, Banning ... I just lost control a moment ago and let Sister Elle control my body ... um, it may be hard to understand if I put it that way. In fact, there is another person in my body ..."
"It's fine, I understand, and it's not Elle's fault either. I was indeed wrong before."
Seeing that the current personality had changed back to Avril, Tyler no longer fled and took the opportunity to formally apologize to Avril.
He really owed Avril a face-to-face apology.
——(Avril, don't be fooled by him, I already smell other woman on him!)
At this time, Elle suddenly exploded in Avril's mind, and Tyler, who can read minds, naturally "saw" Elle's words, suddenly got a little nervous.
(The smell of other woman ...?)
(Is it the smell of Tocchini ...?)
(Or ... Viviana's smell? No, I didn't have physical contact with Viviana, so there shouldn't be any smell ...)
Seeing Tyler so seriously self-checking, the stupid loli couldn't help laughing.
(Silly Nissen: Pfft, how can you take it this seriously? Did-o you leave your EQ in Ira Village, Tyler?)
(Tyler: Don't underestimate Elle. Taking the enemy lightly will cost dearly.)
Tyler didn't think he was overreacting.
Tyler remembered clearly that he had deceived Avril once before and was caught red-handed by Elle. If something like lying and being exposed were to happen again, he was afraid that he would never win Avril and Elle's trust again.
"Elle, don't talk nonsense ... How could Banning possibly ..."
Avril lowered her voice to refute Elle, then continued talking with Tyler.
"Banning, don't say that. I read the letter and can understand your desire to complete the mission ... Also, thank you for keeping me and Elle's secrets."
"These are things I should do, Avril."
Tyler observed Avril's heart while responding. He was walking a tightrope.
"By the way, Banning, how did you end up here? I thought you'd go to Gudetown or somewhere else ..."
"I heard from Granny Kasi that Granny Kana was sick ..."
——『Combat Occupation Skill "Deceiver - Lv2" has been activated and remains in effect...』
Taking advantage of Avril's question, Tyler briefly explained the reason for his coming to Sandrift Gorge. "Incidentally," in his speech, he indirectly indicated that recently he had been with Granny Kasi and the traveling merchant caravan, and was in an "intimate" relationship sitting in the same carriage.
Avril's heart was simple, she didn't hear the hidden meaning in Tyler's words, but the suspicious Elle heard clues in them and learned that the woman who had been with Tyler recently was Granny Kasi.
——(Okay, Avril, I won't suspect him for now, just for now!)
Elle had more or less let go of her murderous intent. She felt that no matter how much of a bastard Banning was, he would not harm Granny Kasi.
——『Combat Occupation Skill "Deceiver - Lv2" has been deactivated.』
"I see, but Banning, you may not know that the situation in this gorge is not right, and Rhode ... he's dead."
Speaking of Rhode's death, Avril's mood immediately dropped.
Tyler quietly listened to Avril's account and learned about the strange disappearances of people in the cavalry camp and about Rhode's death at the hands of Laidell.
(So that's what the landslide was all about just now ... but ... would the galloping of just over a dozen horses really trigger a landslide so easily?)
Tyler always felt that this landslide happened too coincidentally, as if to trap the cavalry in the valley ... But if this landslide was also caused by someone secretly, then it made sense.
(A gorge with both exits blocked ...)
(Demons lurking silently only at night ...)
(Rock Shadow Demon ... Shadow ...)
"Banning, let's leave the gorge quickly too. Sandrift flowers will have to be found elsewhere."
"About these two things, Avril, I also have information to tell you."
Tyler first mentioned that the northern exit of the gorge was also blocked by a landslide. Then he took a bunch of brown flowers that looked like stone carvings from his luggage and handed them to Avril.
"These are the sandrift flowers I gathered last night. These should be enough to treat Granny Kana's illness."
The sudden appearance of the sandrift flowers delighted Avril beyond her wildest expectations. Now all she had to do was leave the gorge as soon as possible with Banning!
"Oh my God! Where did you find them! This is too great!!"
In her excitement, Avril lost control of her emotions for a moment and hugged Banning. After two seconds, realizing it was wrong, she quickly let go, blushing as she started counting how many toes she had, though she couldn't count with her shoes on.
Seeing the shy and lovely Avril, Tyler felt in his heart that although Avril had matured a lot, she was still the young girl from Ira Village.
·
Afterwards, Tyler took Avril to a relatively gentle slope on the cliff in the middle of the gorge. To get out of the gorge, climbing out from here was the most reasonable route.
(Now it's 9 am ... If all goes well, we should be able to climb to the top of the cliff before dark.)
Avril let Elle take control of her body. Under her control, "Avril's" speed in climbing the rock wall was comparable to Tyler's.
The two climbed up one after the other until Elle noticed something strange.
"Wait, Banning, that 'big rock' above doesn't seem right."
"Hmm ... I noticed it too ..."
Elle just sensed the abnormality by hearing and sixth sense, while Tyler had already seen the very terrifying "information" with his identification ability.
Tyler was now glad that they hadn't climbed too high, otherwise they would have been in a dilemma.
"Elle, you go down first, I'll hold it up above ..."
Seeing that monster, Tyler's heartbeat started racing out of control.
"Ah? Why should I let you protect me ..."
"Shut up! Get down!"
Tyler's sudden low roar made Elle dare not say anything more and obediently climbed down the cliff first.
As for Tyler, he was thinking with all his brain power on how to deal with the monster hidden on the cliff ...!
