A successful journey into Sekoto Forest with no crazy sights and terrifying encounters was a first for Shizaki, but he was glad.
Yeah, that first part of that sentence was just a flat out lie. Let's try that again.
A successful journey into Sekoto Forest with a crazy sight and a terrifying encounter was again experienced by Shizaki, but he was glad that as he and his team now returned safe and sound, mostly thanks to Delta.
With the swordsman ignoring questions of why he was in the area as he was supposed to be simply stationed by the borders of the village, he scolded everyone with words that seemed way too close to insults, but then led the way to go back.
With a final confirmation that no unusual enemies were spotted in that part of the forest after a few more minutes, the scouting team followed his direction, and Daizen Shizaki stayed close to Kurtis Rigel.
"Well, that damn guy saved us, please thank him for us, Shizaki-kun."
