To the Depth of Abyss
Chapter 29: Royal Jelly (2/4)

"How's the perimeter of our cart, Tito?!"

"So far safe! But we have to walk more slowly because it looks like a group of Bear Beasts are about to cross on our front!"

Giant Leaf Woods / Depth

Toward Noon /

Randy's Party heads to their destination beehive location.

Their journey seems boring. This happens because the attitude of someone who likes to kill the atmosphere.

Elisa felt unlucky and lucky at the same time. She was lucky, because with that person, she feel safe. She was unlucky, because she hated the awkward atmosphere she had now.

The man's name is Ars. He is a Specialist in the party.

Since the journey started, the man had only sat spread his legs forward, reading the Abyss-electrical Book.

Elisa got disappointed. If that man had been attractive to Elisa and made her not bored, Elisa will definitely attached to him. Because the man is quite handsome with his cold expression.

Since that person is boring, Elisa moves to the front, to the party leader who has a friendly attitude.

"Hey, aren't we there yet?"

Randi read Elisa's boredom. Smiling a little guiltily, then replied, "Looks like we'll be there in half an hour."

Elisa sat back down, annoyed. "In half an hour," she said resignedly. So she had to sit still for the next half hour.

But luckily, Randi's men who were sitting in the driver's seat asked Elisa.

"Hey, little lady, may I ask you something?"

That man, if not mistaken, his name is Dwi. He attracted to Elisa, but Elisa doesn't like the familiar tone he makes while talk to her.

"First, can't you call me little miss? Just because I'm younger than you doesn't mean you can just call me out like that."

She started again, thought Randi.

After hearing Elisa's responses to the others several times, Randi concluded, 'This young girl has high arrogance and self-esteem'.

Dwi feels guilty for Elisa's arrogant attitude. "Sorry for that, but how should I call you then?"

"Usually, can't you just call someone else's name right after getting to know them?"

"Oohh, yeah right." Dwi felt stupid because he didn't think about it. "So, Eli-sa, you said you were younger than us. But we were only 20. Just How Old Are You?"

More precisely, above 20. Because Ars is 23 years old, and Randy and four of his men were in the same generation as Ars.

Elisa surprised, a man just asked her age. "D - disrespectful, asking a woman's age!"

Everyone being silent, especially Dwi, who asks about Elisa's age.

There is a considerable gap between the culture in which Elisa, and Randi's group were born. This creates awkwardness because Randi's group is too friendly, and Elisa is uncomfortable with that.

Even so, Elisha regretted her attitude. It's too late for her if she wants to fix their relationship. 'They must think I'm rude,' she thought.

The atmosphere was awkward. None of the six men solved the awkwardness. Elisa. on the other hand, discouraged, thinking that her party friends were disappointed at her.

"Oh yes, Elisa," Randi broke the awkwardness. "You are from a family, the Sylvia Shield Family, correct?"

"Yes,."

"Do you mind telling us what kind of family is Sylvia Shield Family?"

Elisa found a ray of hope in her reputation. She thought they were no longer interested in her.

However, because it attracted them again, her arrogance came back. "Fine, if you insist."

"Eh, did I sound pushy earlier?" asked Randi in surprise.

Elisa began boasting. "The family that Sis Sylvia leads is a great family. Even though they are all female knights, they are a strong family wit- "

"Wait!"

"W - what?!"

Tito suddenly came from the roof of the wagon and scolded. He looked at Elisa with an expression full of hope.

"You said earlier, the family which comprises all women?"

"Yes. All the members of the Sylvia Shield Family are women. But don't underestimate them because they are all strong!"

Elisa tried to clarify. Although it was not a clarification like that that his fellow party mates wanted to hear.

All the men in the party started the discussion telepathically once again.

"Hey, you heard, right?"

"Yes, she said all the members are women."

"That means the family is full of beautiful armed women."

"If we can grab this little girl's heart to make her lead us to that Family ..."

They will get the opportunity to be in a house filled with beautiful women.

Randi easily read the minds of his subordinates. Although he could only smile in surprise because of their actions.

Elisa became speechless again because they turn silence again.

The man sitting in the back became the silence breaker that time.

"We will arrive soon. Return to your respective positions and check the surrounding area. "

"D - don't order us!"

"Like you are the Party Leader here!"

Despite declaring refusal, they still carried out the man's orders.

The man in the back - Ars finally moved from his position towards the front of the cart.

The man gave off a powerful aura. Elisa got a little scared when the man walked past her.

Ars kicked Dwi out of the driver's seat.

"Woaa!?"

Then sit next to Randi.

"Hey, that's dangerous!"

Ignoring Dwi, Ars whispered to Randi. "Of all the priests, why did you choose her?"

Ars questions why Randi chose such a rude girl to participate in their exploration.

As if he was being interrogated, Randi afraid. "Sorry, but unfortunately I didn't see any other lone Priest apart from her."

Ars just sighed. His disappointment could not be avoided, in Randi or Elisa.

In the back, Elisa did not hear the conversation between the two grown men sitting in the driver's seat, but she felt that they still felt disappointed because they had recruited a rude girl like her.

"You fool," Elisa whispered to herself.
