Since it wasn't the real world, the nighttime in the game is fast and a few hours of rest is enough for the next day to roll in. I didn't feel sleepy anyways, so the moment the light has broken through the underground and illuminated the place slowly, Atlas and I resumed our climb to the top. We didn't wait for Guts to arrive. He said he will be catching up to us so it didn't matter if we walk much earlier or wait for him. It doesn't have any effect if he was here or not other than being the first to charge against an enemy attack. As much as I appreciate his help, he is getting more gung-ho in finding enemies that it sometimes made me irritated.
"Master, are you sure you don't need to wait for Guts? I know that you are somewhat annoyed by him but are you sure to just leave him and move?"
