Chapter 41: 040 Do not wrong yourself Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Mangar Mountain Range, the camp at the foot of the mountain. When Shane returned here, the entire camp was left with only Vivian by the bonfire. “You’re back?” Seeing Shane return, Vivian stood up. “Sorry, were you waiting for me this whole time?” Shane looked at Vivian, who relaxed upon seeing him, feeling somewhat touched as he approached with a bit of apology, “Where are the others?” “Lu Muya and Merica have already gone to rest; only I am here on night watch, and we’ll switch shifts in the second half of the night.” Vivian smiled slightly and said, “As for Tielle, she should be patrolling nearby to see if any demons have come down from the mountain.” Vivian said this while looking at Shane with concern, “How are you? Are you okay?” “Of course I’m fine.” Shane answered immediately. “Is that so?” Only then did Vivian feel relieved, “It seems you’ve figured it out.” Shane scratched his head at that moment. Figured it out? This phrasing sounded like Shane had just been troubled by something he couldn’t understand. “Actually, you don’t need to worry so much.” Shane said, feeling a bit embarrassed, “I was indeed surprised by some things, but it wasn’t to the point of not understanding.” This was the truth. As Laischa thought, Shane, although entangled by the Hero Summoning and the fact that the Demon King had already been defeated, wasn’t particularly lost. The reason Shane agreed to the mission to defeat the Demon King was purely for the sake of a transaction. Nien resurrected him, who had already died once, giving him a second life. In return, he helped her defeat the Demon King. It was as simple as that. In such circumstances, even if the Demon King had already been defeated, Shane wouldn’t be troubled. The real troubling thing, given the current situation, was his identity as a Hero. Once this identity was exposed, it would inevitably affect this world; that much was certain. And whatever insider details were behind this, Shane shouldn’t be concerned. Besides, having opened such a big hang, even if not going overboard, it shouldn’t be at the expense of oneself, right? Recalling his ten days in the Monster Forest, Shane’s expression turned blue. “I must become an adventurer!” At that moment, Shane made such a firm statement. This expression of determination made Vivian, who didn’t know Shane’s inner thoughts, show a look of approval. “I’m glad you think so.” Vivian said with a gentle expression, “If you encounter any difficulties and need my help, don’t hesitate to ask.” “Thank you.” Shane said sincerely, “When it’s truly necessary, I’ll definitely ask for your help.” In fact, there were indeed many areas where Vivian could help Shane. At the very least, Shane wanted Vivian to tell him more about this world so he could understand more about its situation. Given this, Shane wouldn’t be pretentious. “Do your best.” Vivian patted Shane’s shoulder, offering encouragement. A while later, from the direction Shane returned, a petite figure quietly came back. Naturally, it was Tielle. “Thanks for your hard work.” Vivian looked towards Tielle with a smile. Tielle nodded, then glanced at Shane before heading towards the tent. Shane blinked. He wasn’t sure if it was an illusion, but he felt that Tielle’s gaze at him just now seemed a bit complex. “Probably just an illusion?” Shane began to murmur. Afterward, Shane joined Vivian in the night watch. During this time, Shane also inquired a lot from Vivian until the second half of the night when Lu Muya and Merica came out to take over, making Shane stop regretfully and return to the tent to sleep. By the way, there were three tents in total: Vivian and Tielle shared one, Lu Muya and Merica shared another, and Shane had one to himself, located at a rather subtly distant place from the other two. It was undeniably a rather disheartening arrangement.
