Chapter 79

# Chapter 79: < Flustered >

Two hours later, Kale's party gathered in front of the entrance to the 'No Way Out' forest. Of course, they weren't the only ones there. Kale gave Hans an instruction.

"Take the list."

"Yes."

Hans moved away to deal with the villagers who were looking at Kale. This time, he would likely learn the cats' secret.

At Kale's nod, Mace, the wolf children, and Hillsman lined up in a row, looking like a disciplined group of knights.

"On will take us there and return with Hong. Then, On and the rest of you will gather the remains."

Mace and the wolf children nodded solemnly. Kale watched them with satisfaction, but then a voice filled with hesitation came from below.

"B-But, Young Master, why me? I need to design."

Müller trembled as he looked up at Kale, standing between him, Hillsman, and Vikros. Kale found him rather pitiful. He was worried about leaving this pitiful guy alone.

"Just come along when I ask nicely."

He didn't want to grab him by the neck or carry him under his arm again. Müller, somehow understanding Kale's words, nodded palely. He had a large bag slung over his shoulder, containing paper and pens for his designs.

Kale approached Litanah, who was standing a bit away. He smiled softly.

"We should be able to leave now. You must have been anxious waiting for two hours."

"No, it's fine."

Litanah replied, but she was still observing Kale and his party.

Kale seemed to be an ordinary person who hadn't trained in combat, so she had assumed his party would consist of capable knights.

'He's extraordinary.'

But that was clearly a misconception. She saw a powerful figure whose depth she couldn't fathom, and many talented people around him who followed his commands.

Though she was a bit away and couldn't hear their conversation, she noticed that he led his party with charisma, unlike how he treated her.

On the other hand, Kale's party, seeing his gentle demeanor towards Litanah, exchanged various expressions but didn't show much outwardly. Kale had already told them to adapt to him.

'Adapt to me.'

They would surely adapt well. After all, there were no clueless people among them.

"On, let's go."

Nyaoong.

On led the way, and Kale and the others followed.

"Sir Kale."

Choi Han approached Kale, who was walking at the front with On. He seemed cautious, as if he had something to say.

Kale confirmed that Litanah and her party were a bit away, then looked back at Choi Han.

"Why?"

"Is this fire perhaps their doing?"

His cautious yet sharp gaze. Kale immediately understood who Choi Han was referring to.

The secret organization that had caused the magic bomb terror. He must be talking about them.

"No. It's not their doing."

After the incident in the capital, Choi Han would have been slightly involved with the secret organization in the Breck Kingdom. But this time, it didn't seem to be their doing.

"I see. I thought it might be like the last time in the capital."

"I still remember my oath."

Kale reminded Choi Han once more.

"I'll tell you if I find out who they are. Don't worry."

"Yes."

Choi Han watched Kale, who was calmly making a path through the fog, as usual. He hesitated and then said solemnly,

"Don't bear the burden alone."

What does he mean? Kale looked at Choi Han in confusion. At that moment,

"I agree with that."

Rosalin, who had been standing between Litanah's party and Choi Han, smiled at Kale. Kale found it hard to understand what they were saying.

A burden?

"I don't understand what you mean, but I don't plan to do anything difficult."

Why would I do something difficult? There are plenty of people around who can do it. Kale looked at Rosalin in confusion and replied to both of them. But Choi Han and Rosalin exchanged glances and smiled, as if they had no choice.

Their expressions made Kale quite uncomfortable, but he couldn't delay any longer, so he walked forward without asking more.

Finally, after a brief rest and a forced march through the night, they managed to leave the 'No Way Out' forest the next day.

"Hmm."

"Good heavens."

Kale's party let out sighs of amazement as they emerged from the forest.

Black smoke.

Another day of jungle ahead. Where they expected to see the jungle, a grayish-black smoke filled the sky.

Additionally, a faint red flame was visible from the flatlands.

Litanah bit her lip. It wasn't just because this was her territory. She thought of her family and people who were still struggling to find a new home.

"Hurry."

She turned her head. Kale was visible, and she could tell he would find it difficult. He looked like someone who had been raised in luxury.

"Yes. From here, we will guide you."

Despite this, Litanah needed to hurry. She was grateful.

Five of her subordinates stepped forward at her gesture. Litanah took the lead, as the leader of the group should.

"We need to move quickly, so the path might be rough."

"That's fine."

His calm but firm response.

"We're going."

Litanah, instead of saying thank you, took a step forward. They approached the black smoke. By the next day, after the forced march, they were exhausted and a massive fire appeared before them.

"Wow."

"Good heavens."

Kale's party let out sighs of amazement as they emerged from the forest.

The black smoke.

Another day of jungle ahead. Where they expected to see the jungle, a grayish-black smoke filled the sky.
