When Aster entered the dungeon, he realized the sun was already rising, shining over the wide desert. "So the time in the dungeon and outside isn't perfectly synchronized..." he muttered.
After checking his phone for the map, he turned toward the first camp and ran. His speed wasn't restricted, and he quickly reached over 100 km/h!
"..."
As he ran, he pulled out his Adventurer's Card and checked the front page. Under Party Members, he sighed at the sight. As expected, Lory's name wasn't there anymore.
Since she became a "terrorist" overnight, her adventurer registration was revoked. Of course, this didn't affect her abilities and stats—just her registration.
Aster felt a pang of sadness. Though their time together had been brief, Lory had fought alongside them. Even if she had been undercover, he couldn't help but wonder if the smiles she had shared were genuine.
'Although I want to hear her true self, that's impossible right now.'
