Chapter 142: The Tin Knight and The City fo Scales (2)
After arriving in Justitia, Dorothea declared to the party, “Three days. I won’t ask you to do anything during that time, so rest as you see fit. We’ll start our main activities after that.”
This was truly exceptional.
Quick and decisive. As if embodying the idiom of “swift as a sword and clear as a bell,” most of the party’s journey had been extremely tight.
It wasn’t that there was no free time at all, but it was more like “There’s an event A happening in a week, so wait until then,” which meant they couldn’t completely let go of tension in a corner of their minds.
It was the first time they were investing a few days solely for rest, without any restrictions or preconditions.
[The ‘Tin Knight’ wonders what wind is blowing!]
“There’s no particularly grand reason. We’ve accomplished quite a big task, so it’s okay to indulge in this much luxury, right?” Dorothea answered nonchalantly.
It felt like she was honestly revealing her true feelings, not trying to gloss over something with excuses.
It also meant that she took the fight with the Witch of the West that seriously.
As if to prove her words, Dorothea shut herself in her room, saying she needed to sleep as soon as the work of setting up barriers in the lodging was finished.
This was while the sun was still high in the sky.
“This is unusual behavior for Dorothea. She wasn’t particularly fond of sleeping much usually.”
