Chapter 98: Would you believe now?
Outside Lyra and Bryce’s tent, two figures stood under the cloudy afternoon sky, deep in conversation—Celeste and Adrian.
"Where were you, Adrian?"
Today was already a disaster.
And now her teammate had just casually gone out for a stroll in the danger-infested forest without telling anyone?
Perfect. Just perfect.
And yes, for the record—she had changed into a new pair of panties. Not that anyone was asking.
Adrian just grinned and waved a hand like he was shooing away a lazy mosquito.
"Oh, just taking a little stroll around the forest, y’know? Looking for that dumbass goblin. Why, Celeste? Why do you ask?"
Her entire body twitched.
"G-goblin? Wh-why?"
Her voice cracked like a poorly tuned flute.
Her posture stiffened, her pupils dilated, and her heartbeat was now attempting to breakdance in her chest.
