Ner prepared to step outside as the day broke.

Peering through the window, a calm had settled over the estate, a stark contrast to the fierce battle of the previous day.

The tension that had weighed heavily on the soldiers shoulders seemed to have dissipated somewhat.

Yet, with a hint of apprehension, Ner decided to first inquire with the guards stationed at the door.

-Creak.

She cracked open the door and peered out.

Shawn and Burns, who had been chuckling in conversation, turned their gaze towards her.

Is there something you need?

She responded to their question.

Is it... safe to wander outside now?

They blinked for a moment.

Soon, Burns looked at Shawn.

As the senior, Shawn pondered before replying.

Yes. It seems safe for now. Where are you planning to go?

...To meet Berg.

Ah, then theres even less to worry about. Shall we go?

Ner waved her hand in dismissal.

No, Ill just inform Arwin-nim and then head out.

Alright. Well wait for you.

-Thud.

Ner withdrew her head back inside and closed the door.

She then quietly gazed at Arwin.

Engrossed in meditation to hone her life force, Arwin seemed distant.

She had returned briefly to greet her, but wondered if it was better not to disturb her.

...Where are you going?

But before she could decide, Arwin spoke first.

She seemed somewhat aware of her intentions.

...Just going to look around for a bit, Ner replied.

Truth be told, her interest wasnt solely in Berg but also in the hero party.

It was impossible not to be curious about the chosen warriors of the gods, especially those who had been at the forefront of the seven-year war against the demons.

Arwin-nim, dont you have someone in the hero party you wish to meet?

Ner asked.

Arwin nodded.

...Sylphrien unnie. Ill go meet her later.

Ner nodded at her response and lingered in the room filled with an awkward silence before speaking.

...Well, Ill be heading out then. To get some fresh air.

Alright. Understood.

With Arwins reply, Ner moved to step out.

Stepping outside, Ner spoke to Shawn, who had been waiting for her.

Lets go.

Okay.

Ner, revealing a momentary inner thought, asked.

Have you seen Berg by any chance?

Shawn easily answered her question.
