บท 224: A DEPARTURE TO PUMP ME UP

PHASE 3 - A DEPARTURE TO PUMP ME UP

I have prepared a lot for my field trip to Hell.  I packed five T-shirts, two jackets, four pants, seven underwear and a sleeping bag all fitted on my hiking bag. Toothbrush, toothpaste, soap, shampoo; all check. Helena also gave me food rations that would last me a week.

Erylle said that our expedition to the underworld would likely last for five or more days, so I have to ready myself for everything. But now that I think of it, most people would assume that I'll just go camping in a nearby forest.

I went to the Kozukata Shrine and held a small meeting to the Gate Guardians present. I explained to the remnants of the Aether Crusade on what I'll be doing. And most of them are skeptical of the offer Erylle made to me.

"Are you sure that the 'New Outsider' can be trusted?" Ayano; the new Head of the Kozukata Shrine Maidens asked me with a doubtful look.
