"How is she? Is she asleep?"
Yulian "shook" his body and softly asked Fern.
"Yes, she fell asleep shortly after getting in the carriage."
Fern looked down at Frieren, who was sleeping soundly leaning on her shoulder, and smiled slightly.
"After returning yesterday, Mistress Frieren seemed very sad."
"She didn't fall asleep until very late."
Fern was a little worried.
"Mr. Yulian, do you know what happened?"
On the wide road, Yulian and the others just happened to board a carriage going their way.
As a result, Frieren fell asleep leaning on Fern's shoulder shortly after getting in the carriage.
"Perhaps it was the sudden death of a friend..."
"That Mistress Frieren couldn't accept."
Yulian thought for a moment and then spoke the truth.
"Grandpa Voll?"
Stark paused before asking.
Facing the sudden death of this short-term teacher, Stark's mood was also somewhat heavy.
"Yes."
Yulian nodded.
"So that's it..."
Fern also got the answer.
She looked at Frieren, who was sleeping on her shoulder, with some heartache.
"Sleep... sleep..."
Fern gently lowered Frieren's body onto her kneeling legs.
Making Frieren sleep more comfortably.
"Everyone really treats her like a child."
Sein pursed his lips and smiled.
The 'her' here is naturally Frieren.
"Is... is that so..."
Fern's face turned slightly red from embarrassment.
Her mind was full of the scene of Frieren calling her 'mama' while she was asleep.
"I... I call her an old woman."
Stark said stubbornly.
But he couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
Because subconsciously, he also treated Frieren as a peer who needed care.
"After all, from the perspective of elves..."
"Frieren is just a child."
Yulian seemed quite natural.
He was used to it.
After all, whether it was him or everyone he knew who had a connection with Frieren, They were always full of gentleness and care towards Frieren.
"What?"
The carriage jolted.
Frieren noticed the surrounding sounds and slowly opened her eyes.
Confirming her current situation.
Hmm... sleeping on Fern's lap pillow...
Okay, nothing's wrong, keep sleeping...
"Mistress Frieren, wake up."
"We're almost there."
Fern gently shook Frieren.
She didn't mind Frieren continuing to sleep.
After all, Frieren had just gone through something sad.
However, the destination was also approaching.
"Is that so?"
Frieren reluctantly straightened her body and sat up.
Looking at the small Village that appeared ahead, she said to herself.
"We're here..."
Twenty-nine years after the end of the Era of Humans.
Northern Lands.
Roy Road.
A Village beside an official road.
The carriage going their way parted ways here.
Next, they had to cross the Great Canyon and walk for another week to reach the City of Magic Äußerst.
"However, please wait for me here first."
After Sein gestured for everyone to stop, he mysteriously ran towards the small Village.
"What's he going to do?"
Frieren asked Yulian curiously.
"He's probably going to look for clues about the Gorilla Warrior."
Yulian thought for a moment.
He and Sein were the two men who communicated the most on a daily basis.
Every time a topic was brought up, Sein would eventually turn the conversation to the Gorilla Warrior.
His close friend.
"Gorilla Warrior?!"
Fern and Stark both exclaimed curiously at the same time.
So in sync?
Why don't you two get married!
Yulian blinked but didn't say anything random.
He just started explaining.
"Sein should have told you..."
"His journey with us is temporary..."
"His real purpose is to find clues about the Gorilla Warrior."
"Gorilla Warrior..."
Stark scratched his head, seemingly trying to recall something seriously.
"But didn't he say it was some older, sexy big sister?"
Young man, you are very dangerous!!!
Yulian noticed Fern's unfriendly gaze and quickly came to Stark's rescue.
"Yes, but that's just one of Sein's purposes."
"The real purpose is to find the Gorilla Warrior."
"Is Gorilla Warrior a real name?"
Fern's attention was indeed drawn, and she immediately asked curiously.
"No, it's just an adventurer's title."
"For example, my adventurer title is Hero."
Yulian took out his adventurer's medal and said proudly.
"A Demon, with the title Hero, it's really..."
Frieren covered her head, always feeling strange.
However, Yulian just nodded undeniably and continued speaking.
"As for the real name, you'll probably have to ask Sein."
Because although Yulian had heard Sein mention the Gorilla Warrior many times, he had never heard the Gorilla Warrior's real name.
"So that's it..."
Several people nodded, a little curious.
"What's wrong? Did something happen?"
At the entrance of the Village, Sein jogged back to the group.
He looked at them and asked curiously.
"It's like this..."
Fern repeated the conversation they had after Sein left, and then asked Sein again.
"So who is the Gorilla Warrior?"
"Oh, about that."
Sein laughed heartily.
"He's my childhood friend, and my closest friend."
"As for the real name, haha!"
Sein awkwardly scratched his head.
"We all call him the Gorilla Warrior!"
As expected, they are close friends...
Yulian rubbed his forehead helplessly.
He had never heard Sein mention the Gorilla Warrior's real name even once.
Turns out he didn't even know it himself...
"Oh, right, why don't you ask about my adventurer name?"
Sein asked expectantly.
But on the contrary, everyone seemed uninterested.
"Goatee priest, that's my adventurer title."
Seeing that the others didn't react, Sein wasn't angry.
He just stroked the beard on his chin proudly to himself.
"It seems to fit quite well."
Yulian thought for a moment and replied.
"Did he have this title before his beard grew out?"
Fern asked Stark thoughtfully.
The comment that came out of Fern's mouth was still sharp.
At least Sein was broken.
"Hey, that's too much."
Sein smacked his lips, saying dissatisfiedly.
"So, did you get any clues just now?"
Yulian nodded, getting to the main point.
"About that..."
When it came to the main point, Sein's expression also became serious.
"The villagers said..."
"The Gorilla Warrior eliminated the demon that had been occupying this place ten years ago and headed towards the Village ahead."
"The Village ahead..."
The map showed that the Village ahead and the canyon they were about to cross were in the same direction.
"In that case, we can travel together for a while longer."
Yulian smiled.
The group continued on their journey.
