Chapter 35: Locals of the World
"Excalibur?" Xu Tao muttered, recognizing Arthur’s sword. "What’s wrong?" he asked.
Of course, a sword had no way of transmitting thought. It might be sentient, but it couldn’t speak. Thus, it could only gesture toward the forest where Arthur went, and wave around in panic.
"Huh?"
Even the others were confused about what it wanted to relay. Its movements were erratic, as if it was in a panic.
"I don’t know what’s happening, but," Xu Tao raised a hand, stopping the sword. "You’re telling me that Arthur’s in danger, is that right?"
At this question, the sword tipped its end down, as if nodding.
"Alright." Xu Tao sighed. "Then, I’ll go. Jehanne, you stay and protect this place with the rest. Pepe... come with me, just in case."
"Pui~!"
The little pumpkin jumped up in celebration before riding on top of Xu Tao’s head. It was visibly excited for another "outing."
"Are you sure?" But Jehanne, on the other hand, was worried. "Shouldn’t I go instead?"
"It’s fine."
