Volume 4, Chapter 13 Revision (Patreon)

(Note: I decided to add a bit of an explanation that I planned to put in later in the story, but it makes more sense here, so I revised Chapter 13 a bit.

This addition takes place just after they leave the dungeon and Tylith decides to keep traveling with them. New additions are placed within the asterisks. I put in a bit of text before and after for context.)

“That’s…” She peers northeast again, and I see a fierce determination in her eyes as she looks back to me. “Hmph. Fine. If you want me to join you so badly, then all you had to do is ask, human.”

I smile as she regains the confident demeanor I’ve come to expect from her. “Then if we’re all in agreement, let’s get moving.”

*As we begin walking to the south, I check my [Minimap] to see the location of all the people I’ve tagged. I didn’t realize it until I did a bit of testing after leaving Antara, but the tagging feature on my Heroic skill allows me to keep track of a person’s dot on my map, even if they enter an area that I haven’t explored yet.

It only shows me their location, nothing else, but it’s still useful for gauging where everyone is that I’ve deemed important enough to tag.

Ah, Lumina’s far to the west now, huh? It’s hard to estimate how close she is to the capital, but she must be drawing near. I hope she’s able to accomplish whatever it is that was important enough for her to go all the way back there after finally finding me.

And those four—they’re still in that city north of the dungeon. They’re probably enjoying their new lives, huh? Can’t blame them.*

I look away from my [Minimap] and scan the nearby area with [Sense Mana], looking for anything dangerous. Although I don’t sense any that pose a threat to us, I do notice a rather large group of people that are traveling on the highway that leads south.
