Chapter 26
I waited for about five more minutes just in case before going out.
Fortunately, the monsters seemed to have completely retreated. Not even a single footstep or presence could be felt anymore.
“Phew...”
Only then did the tension slightly ease. I let out a deep breath of relief and, with some grunting, pulled myself out from where I had wedged my body between the cracks in the wall.
Even amidst all the chaos, Cha Sahyeon stayed clinging to me without moving an inch. Sitting on the ground like a koala stuck to me, I grabbed the back of Cha Sahyeon's neck and gently pulled her off.
"Let's have a little talk."
"......."
It was fortunate that the monsters had left, but that didn’t mean the root of the problem was solved.
The sudden quest to calm the villain was still active, and I had to figure out exactly what had made Cha Sahyeon so upset.
‘If something like this happens again...’
It was fine this time because it was the first, but if the same thing happened again in another dungeon, there would be no choice but to narrow down the culprit.
Not to mention, if I got banned from entering dungeons when I barely had any way to make money... No, worse than that, if the government realized something was wrong with Cha Sahyeon, they might just drag her away.
