Book 19: Chapter 2 (1)
While traveling the roads, Shin continues to scout the area.
After about two hours of traveling, he noticed several presences and approaching carriages. The road was well maintained to make it easy for carriages to pass through, but apparently, the security aspect of the road was not quite as good as it could be.
By combining his detection skills, he had noticed signs of approaching presences, but by using them in conjunction with the map, he was able to obtain more accurate information.
With that in mind, Shin thought for a moment.
“They’re getting a little closer, but with Kagerou’s speed, can we get through before we’re surrounded? …No, Kagerou, slow down a little. Let them get closer and they’ll think you’re getting tired.”
Hearing Shin’s instructions, Kagerou slowed down the carriage. He even slowed down and acted like he was out of breath.
“Don’t you want to shake them off?”
Or are you going to go out of your way to fight? Sety poked her head out of the hood and asked.
Everybody was scouting the area individually, so they had noticed the incoming presence.
