Two months into the demon subjugation expedition. The sun sets, and a campfire rises in the forest campsite. As You spreads out a map regarding the mountain pass to be crossed tomorrow, Julian quietly creeps in with a slinking voice, hiding behind Saintess Irene.
"Um. That path seems a bit dangerous. If it's because I'm weak, then sorry, but."
At those words, the gazes of Irene and Kaya immediately turn toward You. Even though the Hero You's decision hasn't even been voiced yet, the atmosphere of the party has already tilted toward Julian."Um. I'm really sorry, You-nim. Was my comment presumptuous? It's just. everyone is just scared of getting hurt, hehe.
Your judgment as a Hero will surely be right. What would a burden like me know, right? So. could we just take a slightly longer route this time?
Even Irene-nuna said that would be better."
