Chapter 152.1
Raid
“Rena…just in case, take the children and evacuate to the outside.”
“…I understand.”
Elena nodded with a serious face as she understood what I meant when I said “outside”.
Noi, the wounded Dark Elf boy, had been treated with Elena’s light magic. We waited for him to wake up because even the inn where we were staying was no longer safe.
We made a simple base outside the town in case of emergencies. We had a small amount of food, so we would be fine for a few days. When Noi woke up, he told me that Chaco had been kidnapped and that he was going to rescue her–
“You’re a hindrance.”
“But, but I…”
Noi’s face was flushed with impatience. He probably thought that as the older brother of the little ones, he had a responsibility to help the little girl who was acting as their older sister. But that was a mistake.
“Your responsibility is to protect those children. Don’t make the mistake of putting your life on the line.”
“…I understand.”
The children may have developed the will to resist, but that didn’t mean their anxiety was going to disappear. Noi nodded firmly as the little children held his clothes, desperately holding back tears.
