Chapter 87

【”Damn it! Why did I hesitate? I should have just run away!”】

【”Uoooooooooooh!”】

【”Aaargh”】

【”Shit, is this it….?”】

【”If you don’t want to get mixed up in what’s coming, go crawl somewhere else.”】

【”Hey, you dead?”】

【”N-no, I’m fine. You really saved me there.”】

【”Is that so? Now then, what’s going on?”】

【”W, well, actually….”】

【”Avoid fighting in the ruins as much as possible, and never push the monsters into an agitated state. I heard those were ironclad rules.”】

【”Sorry…”】

【”Humph, whatever. That’s none of my concern.”】

【”W-w-wait, where are you going?!”】

【”There is something I want to do at the depths of the ruins.”】

【”That’s the case for everyone that comes here, but it’s dangerous to go now!”】

【”On the contrary, it’s precisely because of my position that I can say this. I don’t want my own mistakes to expose you to any more danger.”】

【”You don’t ever shut up, do you? Approximately how long will the corpses’ disposal and that period of inactivity last?”】

【”Well, around ten days”】

【”That’s out of the question.”】

【”I’m telling you, hold on! You’ll be in real danger.”】

【”That’s probably the case for the likes of you, bastard. But for me, it’s gonna be a walk in the park.”】

【”Monsters are not the only danger. There are traps and there are places where you can’t enter without deciphering some texts and whatnot. Exploring ruins is a long process; you should wait until the situation reaches the right conditions so that you’ll be able to keep your item and stamina consumption to a minimum.”】

【”…I see, that makes sense.”】

【”Then, you’ll be coming with me. You should be able to guide me on the way, right?”】

【”….Huh? WHAT?!”】

【”You’re being noisy, stop screaming damn it.”】

【”Of course I’m gonna scream, what did you expect?! You’re basically telling me to go die!”】

【”You were already pretty much dead earlier. Even if this kills you, it won’t change anything.”】

【”This is way beyond unreasonable… also, who the hell are these guys?!”】

Before Hugo even realized it, a pair of people, whose faces were concealed by robes, had appeared behind him and the man. Encircled by three unidentifiable people whose faces were all covered in robes, Hugo was in a considerably eerie situation.

【”They’re my baggage carriers. “】

【”Oh, so they’re your companions… Yo, I’m Hugo. You guys must have it tough, being abused by a tyrant like him.”】

【”…They don’t talk much, do they?”】

【”Of course they don’t. Those two don’t have the ability to speak.”】

【”What the hell? You all are terrifying.”】

Anyway, I hope you enjoyed the chapter, and I wish you an excellent day ?
