Chapter 23 -: 23, Temporary Guide
Chapter: 23, Gotcha!!
The cave was dark and filled with silence. There in the middle of that said darkness, a woman in green skin was trembling all over as she looked at the handsome youth who she had never met before in horror.
The young man suddenly had a look of disappointment in his face but he quickly concealed it. He then looked around the cave to find nothing of value.
He then looked at the green haired girl lying over the dead body of the rat lord. Gura stiffened with fear as his eyes locked into hers. She felt the looming fear of death as she readied herself for her demise.
"Come on, stand up. Are you going to stay there for the rest of your life?" The voice of the young man came into her ears. ’What does he mean by that? Does that mean he will not kill me?’ she thought and relaxed a little.
"Now guide me to the place you came from." The man again said his voice was a bit gentle.
"W-what do you mean?" Gura finally asked. It was the first time she opened her mouth after Dain appeared.
Dain smiled, "Guess you can finally talk. Don’t worry; I won’t hurt you if you simply become my guide."
"O-Okay." She agreed. She was afraid that if she didn’t agree to him, she wouldn’t be able to stay alive for long. Someone who could defeat her companions so easily could also kill her anytime he wants.
