Chapter 106: “Manners? Those Are Only for the Boss”
Kerry’s group had woken up in an inn in Connaître, about three days south of the Great Liebe Forest going at Hakuma’s speed.
“What did Boss say?” asked Riley.
“Right. She’s fine, she wants us to stay in this town and check out their defense for the invasion,” Kerry responded after seeing that the friend chat had ended.
They had arrived at this town the night before, but they only stayed for one night and checked out in the morning, earlier that same day.
