Chapter 485: Sonya’s Report
While he hadn’t a clue as to what Kim might be doing, he suspected that Elin was involved, since he didn’t see her as well. He didn’t consider it as big of a deal as Elwin obviously did, but he couldn’t really bring himself to care that much.
He suspected that Elwin was someone of at least some authority in his world, otherwise he doubted that he’d be so bent of being in charge. Not that he didn’t have some leadership qualities, it just felt like he was more interested in deciding things himself rather than letting others have a say. Unless they agreed with him, of course.
However, once they got that issue out of the way, he tended to be more amiable on actually discussing a matter. Or at least the next time.
The plan they’d come up with to deal with Stanley largely depended on what they learned about him when Sonya came back, but Jonas wasn’t too worried about that. He knew that whatever the case, they’d need to be ready to beat his group. Even if it was in a race rather than a fight like he expected it to end up being.
In the end, he was surprised that Sonya returned before Kim, Elin, Patricia, or Patrick did. It didn’t matter, but he had expected that either of the two groups would have finished up whatever it was that they were doing. While he wasn’t sure what exactly Kim and Elin were doing, Patrick and Patricia tended to be limited on what they did, so it wasn’t like he really could imagine them for doing that for very long. Which made it a little mystifying to Jonas that they hadn’t returned by the time Sonya did.
The sun was setting when a shaggy squirrel returned, gasping for air and drenched in sweat. It wasn’t a pleasant sight and he didn’t think that Sonya enjoyed it much herself. Especially with the way she was gasping for air when she returned.
"I didn’t realize how awful this shape was," Sonya gasped as Jonas approached her, having been the first person to have noticed her. "I thought it was just shaggy. I didn’t realize it’d be so hot!"
"I wondered that myself when you left," Jonas said, kneeling down to speak with her. "Though, since you stayed in that shape, can I assume that you didn’t find Stanley’s group?"
"Huh?" Sonya asked, startled. "No, I found them. They’re not waiting for us. Instead, they already entered the dungeon."
"Then why’d you stay in this shape if it’s so hot? Why not revert to your wolf shape or something. I don’t think your wolf shape is as hot as your squirrel shape, right?"
