I Fell into the Game with Instant Kill
chapter-91-2

Chapter 91.2: Ruins of Cabolissa (5)

I continued talking to her who looked at me with a slightly stiff face.

“But there is no need to do that anymore. You have confirmed that there are no survivors of your tribe. And you also achieved tremendous growth in just a year.”

“…”

“Your choice was not wrong, no matter what. You may leave my side as it is. Either for revenge or, as the great sage said, to continue the bloodline of your clan…”

Asher was silent for a long time without opening her mouth.

I waited patiently for an answer.

I say this, but of course in my heart I didn’t want Asher to leave.

Where else would I find a person with a level 90 strength and who I could also trust at the same time?

Having played the game, I knew very well that she had even more potential for further growth.

I just wanted to leave the choice completely to her own will, because that’s how much I respected her.

After a long silence, Asher opened her mouth.

“If by any chance you don’t want to keep me by your side, please tell me honestly. In that case, I’ll gladly leave.”

“…”

“If it’s not like that, if you’re really just being considerate of me… I’m sorry, but I’ll continue to stay by your side even with my lack of ability.”

The end of her voice trembled slightly.

It was me who should be nervous, but she looked much more nervous than me.

Without knowing why, she was taken to an unknown ruin and challenged an ordeal, and also learned the truth about her tribe.

She must have had a lot of questions about my strange behavior, but she didn’t ask me anything.

…She had been really patient.

I thought while feeling joy and relief inside.

Perhaps the reason she would continue to stay was because of the grace or the sense of debt she felt towards me.

There were quite a few situations where I saved her life, after all.

This was my last remaining small selfishness, so I did not bother to ask her why.

“There’s no reason I wouldn’t want to have you around.”

“…”

“So you can do whatever you want.”

Relief passed over Asher’s face at my answer.

I chuckled.

I was concerned, but she would not leave my side after all.

This solved all the problems that bothered me at once.

“Can I ask just one question?”

Then Asher asked me.

I nodded.

“I wonder what purpose Sir Ron is acting for.”

It was something she had never asked me before.

It’s not something unanswerable, but it’s a really vague question.

I thought for a moment and then answered.

“It’s for the peace of the continent.”

“…”

“Why, is it something unbelievable? Or is it too simple?”

Of course I knew it myself.

I was not a hero, and that’s not a word that was suitable for a Lord of Calderic.

But it wasn’t a lie.

In order to preserve my life, I had to make sure that this world was safe first.

Asher blinked, but soon smiled and shook her head.

“No. If that’s what you choose to do, I’d be happy to join you.”

There was also one thing I was curious about, so I asked.

“What are you going to do with the continuation of the bloodline of your tribe?”

“…Yes?”

“Fortunately, the sage said you can leave offspring with a human. So, I’m asking what you’re planning to do in the future.”

Asher was now the only White Moon left in the world, so if something happened to her, the White Moon tribe would be forever gone.

I was glad that she had stayed by my side, but there’s still that matter regarding her tribe. So, I couldn’t help but worry.

“Ah, uhm…”

Asher’s face turned a little red.

She rolled her eyes here, and there, then lowered her eyes to the ground before answering.

“…The bloodline of the White Moon tribe, of course, will not be cut off no matter what, but I still need to consider what to do more carefully.”

Even though the sage suggested a way for her, it must have disturbed her, as it was hard to find a worthy human partner out there.

“If you find someone you like, tell me immediately. I will help you wholeheartedly.”

“…Yes.”

“Then let’s go out.”

The business of visiting these ruins was now over.

I stopped walking as I was about to exit through the entrance we had entered.

I wondered if there might be another item besides the staff I had packed, so I took a closer look at the ruins.

…There are no more useful items.

After looking around the ruins for about 30 minutes, there was nothing useful I could find.

Well, even if it wasn’t an item, if there was a magic book, I would have taken it with me, but there wasn’t even such a thing.

She said in a patronizing tone that we could take any remaining items from the ruins, but she didn’t even have anything she left behind aside from the staff.

Anyway, after such a simple search, we went outside.

The sun had risen in the middle of the sky when we came in, but the sun had already set, and it was dawning again.

I looked at the sky dyed with sunset for a moment, then looked away.

I saw Ti-Yong, who had been sleeping curled up on one side, woke up when he found me.

“Let’s go.”

I jumped on the back of the guy who waddled up and flew straight away.

By the time we return to Calderic, the meeting of the Lords would be right around the corner.
