章節 195: Leaving the fortress behind

"Did it work?" Nadia asked, approaching Mathew from behind as soon as he pulled his hand away from underneath the merchant's hood.

"So it's not instantaneous?" Daniel asked, leaning his head to the side as he observed Mathew's back.

"You tell me," Mathew replied, shrugging his shoulders. "It said I need to vacate the merchant's subspace for the processing of the request to continue," he reported.

"How did it work back in the school building?" Daniel then asked, refusing to let go of the topic.

'He is going to stay here so it's only natural he is heavily interested in the details,' Mathew thought, trying to hold back the annoyance welling up in his soul in response to the officer's prying.
