Lets send the crying woman back

(+) Argo Mountain, Cave at midway, The next morning

Alright, Mr. Mountain, add earth there~

The corpses of four adventurers were quickly covered with earth.

The location was inside the cave. After Kazane created the golem Mr. Mountain, she let Mr. Mountain carry the adventurers to the hole that was made from golem maker and buried them.

(I cant bury them outside with snow, and if I leave them like this, they will become Monster food. Well, theres a possibility that a monster might dig them out even though they are buried here)

Actually Kazane doesnt really understand whether it is good enough or not, but since Ruu, whos their companion, gave her acceptance, she decided that this might be best for now. Then in the hardened soil, she placed a cross shaped wood. After that Ruu said a few things, the meagre funeral for the four adventurers ended.

Thank you very much. Because of you, I think my companions will be able to move on to the next world peacefully.

No no. Dont worry about it.

Even though Kazane said something like that, she didnt sleep that night and her head still feels fuzzy. However because of the circumstance, she had to work hard to pull herself together since its not a good idea to leave Ruu alone in this kind of condition.

Then, Ruu. Since the burial is more or less finished, what will you do? If its only to Conrad town, then I am willing to send you back.

If Ruu wants to return to Conrad, then I wouldnt mind sending her back. She can challenge the ruin again afterwards, thought Kazane.

Conrad

However after pondering for awhile, Ruu shook her head.

The truth is. My companions and I intended crossing the border climbing this mountain. I want to return to my hometown. However, yesterday, we met the blizzard.

Though, they did say challenging the mountain with this kind of outfit is recklessRuu said while letting out a sad laugh.

Well, thats true.

However, if it is a clear day like now, I think itll be fine. Saying that, Ruu turned her back to Kazane.

Im going. Ahead is the forest, then past that is the Tsuvara Kingdom.

Alright. Well then.

Kazane didnt stop her and bid her farewell. Even if shes alone, it should be fine and anyway, other than returning to Conrad town, Kazane doesnt know any other directions for traveling. However, theres one thing Kazane must say to Ruu.

Ruu, do you know therere ogres at the town the day before yesterday.

Hearing that Ruus back twitched.

I saved them. The old man and those kids.

Ruu turned to look at Kazane.

Eh, really?All 𝒍𝒂test nov𝒆l𝒔 on novelb𝒊n(.)c𝒐m

Hearing that Kazane nods.

Thats why, well, you dont have to worry about them.

Yes. Thank you.

Saying that, Ruu runs to the forest.

Ahead of her is the border of Minishia Kingdoms neighbouring country, Tsuvara Kingdom. If Ruu didnt lie, then their partys hometown should be Tsuvara Kingdomthought Kazane.

Then Ill go too.

(+) Argo mountain, prior to the submit

After she separated from Ruu, Kazane turned extremely quiet. She keeps thinking about Ruu, it even created a delusion causing Kazane think that something is behind her.

The Coral temple came to view, when the sun had reached its peak and thats when Kazanes nervousness finally cleared up.

Fi.Na.Ly.I.DID.IT!!!!!!!!!

Standing on the top of Mr. Mountain, she shouted while making the guts pose. She even had tears falling down her cheeks.

DANGEROUS and SAFE! SAAAFEEE!!!

Even her speech became eccentric. Actually its not because shes happy reaching the temple, but because she had been feeling driven into a corner since yesterday.

By the spirit of a dead person, Ruu.

Well, seriously. I worried about what would become of me, but with this, it is fine. Its O.K.A.Y.

The situation she had been through was similar with one of Zexiaharts random journey event The collapsed and dying traveller. (ED: Its from the game)

In short, it is an event about finding a camp in a cave with only one survivor, however even the survivor died there. After that, the ghost NPC would appear taking form of its previous shape from when it was still alive, and then it will follow the player.

When appearing, the ghost has a plus and minus parameter and it depends on a players choices. The ghost may go to Nirvana or become evil spirit. If the ghost goes to Nirvana, it might give an item, but if it is turned into an evil spirit, then combat will commence. Even if you win, youll be possessed. Also, if you ignore it, then when the time ends, it will possess you and give you the bad status possessed.

Party members that are possessed and sometimes become confused, they won't be able to return to sanity by themselves. Thats why, if youre alone, then you are more or less dead.

As long the ghost is still there, you cant sleep. You need to continue to talk and regulate it so that the balance will go to the positive side. The time limit is at noon, the next day.

After the last line at noon, Kazane confirmed that she wouldnt be possessed. Finally, Kazane judged that she had passed the danger.

That said, before meeting Ruu, she didnt know that its that event.

What Kazane understood at first from their scent was, theyre the guards of the merchant and slave girl that Kazane saved on her way to Conrad town.

According to Ruus words then they had intended to escape crossing the border. Since they cant return to the town, they ran with their current equipment and meet an accident and then they died.

Thats why Kazane feels relieved from the bottom of her heart for successfully evading the event.

Ugu

Thats why her tears are also tears of happiness. Successfully evading danger that was approaching is a happy thing.

Of course she is not crying because of that young womans unfair death and the regret from been unable to save the people in front of her, or even from remembering the lonely back of that woman.

Kazane persuaded herself.

Yup, I must go.

Kazane wipes her tears. If she doesnt change her mood now, she might die.

Kazane didnt tell Yumika the method to take the ring for summoning the heroic spirit or how absurdly dangerous it is.

You can take this trial at level 8, even win and then obtain the ring.

However, easily met death is also possible.

The event that gives the player a ring to summon a heroic spirit. The content of this event is?

Kazane : eh? The skill increased?

Yumika : Perhaps thats Ruus? Invisible is turning transparent right? A skill that is usually used by ghost type monsters.

Kazane : I didnt defeat her though?

Yumika : At the event, when she goes to Nirvana, you usually got an item, right? Then perhaps this is the substitute reward?
