Book 18 Chapter 1: Part 2
“(Are you really going? The Sacred Place is a Guardian’s home ground, they could have prepared traps too.)”
Schnee sent a Mind Chat immediately after hearing Shin’s decision.
Their past encounters with the Guardians had been unplanned, but this time things were different. The fact that the Guardian sent a subordinate to negotiate with Shin was clear proof.
Shin and his party did not even know if it was really true that the Guardians were fighting each other.
Schnee’s worries were not unfounded: in the worst-case scenario, Shin could end up fighting three or more Guardians at the same time.
“(I know that. But I think that I can’t stay ignorant about this world any longer.)”
Shin did not even know why he arrived in this world in the first place.
What exactly was the reason, if there was one? He thought about it a lot at first, but recently it barely crossed his mind.
He was much more occupied with thinking about how to live in this world and other more immediate problems.
