Chapter 81

I carefully explained the situation.

“I only have one escort with me, so there’s not much I can do. I don't have anyone I can call for help either.”

“….”

“I can’t ask you to trust me easily, but there’s no reason to be overly cautious of me either.”

Ethan, standing beside me, nodded in agreement.

“That’s right. I was the one who brought them to this cliff, after all.”

“…It seems you trust this person quite a bit.”

The man stroked his chin as he spoke to Ethan in a low voice.

“…Yes.”

Ethan nodded again.

Though we hadn’t spent much time together, it was clear that we had built a connection, and I was glad to see that he felt the same.

As Ethan and the man exchanged a silent, meaningful look, I sensed a bond between them that I wasn’t fully aware of.

After a moment, the man shrugged his shoulders and then turned to face me, bowing slightly.

“My apologies for the late introduction. My name is Eiren.”@@novelbin@@

...Eiren?

The unexpected name left me momentarily speechless, but Eiren continued speaking.

“I’m here to evacuate the people before the battle starts. This cliff is the closest point to the village below.”

It was an ambitious plan, to say the least.
