Bab 37: Uncertain but resolute

Layns made way for the entrance of the castle.

No, he wasn’t going into the castle-

Rather-

The opposite.

“You sure about this?”

On his way-

He encountered another hero.

Someone he didn’t particularly want to see today.

Duran.

“Why wouldn’t I be?” Layns said- but it came out as a mumble.

He passed Duran, without really stopping.

And Duran followed.

Both wore normal clothes for once… normal for this world, not theirs.

Maids, soldiers- just going about their days. Whenever they saw the two heroes, they bowed and paused for a good second until they passed by.

There were no nobles around today.

Mostly because none of those privileged beings ever got up this early. But also because the royal court was closed today.

“If you’re unsure, I mean-” Duran attempted, massaging his back. “We could party up together and-”

And for once, he sounded considerate.
