Chapter 129: Ansu's Time Gap
After the two of them killed the shadow wolf king, the scene of the monsters dispersing as they had imagined did not immediately occur.
The pack continued to besiege the abandoned village for quite some time, and it wasn't until around two in the afternoon that they finally showed signs of scattering.
As the monsters surrounding the village gradually retreated, Ansu looked toward the distant wasteland and finally breathed a sigh of relief.
It wasn't that he found these monsters particularly difficult to deal with—with his coordination with the Miss Witch earlier, the two of them had practically gone on a killing spree—but rather that he was annoyed by how much time these creatures were wasting.
"Let's head back. I have something to discuss with the captain," Ansu said, his gaze falling on their hands, which were still tightly interlocked.
"Mhm," Celia nodded.
Ansu remained silent for a moment.
"What is it?" Celia looked at him in confusion.
Ansu flashed a teasing smile. "Does the Miss Witch want to keep holding hands forever?"
