성황의 아이들 [3]

500

500. Manta Tribe (5)

To Seongjin, the Manta Tribe was a very strange existence.

They had a strangely annoying side. I don't have any particular grudge that comes to mind, but I guess you could say they were annoying without giving anything in return.

'No, maybe it's not just their problem. I have a feeling that if Logan gets involved with them like this, the problems that will arise in the future will be even more of a headache... '

Oh, I care. I care!

Because of that, Sungjin couldn't shake off his thoughts about Logan and the Manta Tribe even while eating dinner.

"You look strangely tired. Should I just go to bed now?"

So, the words that Sir Carmen casually said struck me quite nicely.

Logan, who knows what else he might be doing by himself right now? That's why I'm going to stick right next to him and keep an eye on him today...

'No, it's not.'

Seongjin shook his head.

Returning to the Kravat Archipelago was easy. Thanks to the frequent attempts to connect, even to the point of eating raw meat, I was now able to transfer my consciousness to Max as naturally as breathing.

But since a while ago, a strange feeling had been tugging at Sungjin's ankles. An ominous feeling that if he went there now, it wouldn't turn out well.

So Seongjin shook his head.

"Okay. I missed the whole day of practice because I was taking a nap today. So I'm going to meditate from now on. I'm going to meditate twice as much as usual!"

Then Sir Carmen made a tired face.

"No, is that the damned cultivation again? You've already built up nine floors, so isn't it time you took a break?"

No, what are you talking about, Sir Carmen? There is much work ahead of me. That is why I must become a Dekaron Knight quickly!

If Sungjin was worried about Logan in the Benso Marquisate, there was someone in the distant Krabat Archipelago who was having similar concerns.

"Whew... ... ."

Late at night, Sisley stopped meditating and raised his head.

Today was a very eventful day. After a long voyage, we finally arrived at our destination, but then a giant sea monster suddenly appeared and started destroying ships.

Fortunately, there were no deaths thanks to the quick response of Logan and the Knights, but there were many people who suffered major and minor injuries.

Here the little saint's activities stood out, as she was already accustomed to serving in remote areas without any infrastructure.

Sisley took care of the injured until late at night, surprising those around her. Not only did Inquisitor Boris, who had been obsessed with the girl from the beginning, feel burdened by the gaze of his adjutant, Lumiere.

But it didn't stop there, the girl returned to her cabin late and diligently completed her evening meditation.

'Mores Oraboni said that training should be a habit that builds up every day.'

And it was also said that habits that are familiar to the body never betray a person even in a crisis. Sisley smiled as he felt the aura layer moving actively in his danjeon.

'Well, at least with this level of progress, wouldn't it be something I can brag about to my brother when I return to the capital?'

The girl felt a little proud and crawled into bed. Then, as if waiting for it, a soft electronic sound was heard from beside her.
