“Are you sure this is the place?” Asked a man who was none other than the guild leader.
“But here there is only a wall of earth, not as reported by him.” Vivi.
“It's possible that Shou used his magic to block his path. For the most unwanted things to happen. There was a man who was none other than Richard.
“That is impossible, if according to reports he can not use his magic after passing through the mouth of the cave, it is impossible for him to make this wall of land, after all Shou told him to ask for help right, means it is very impossible for him to build this wall.” Papar Kai's.
Sherri could only look down and bite her lips, her tears almost coming out.
It's all my fault, if I hadn't told him to help the kid, maybe Shou wouldn't have...
When he lamented his regret, someone patted him on the shoulder hard enough that he woke up from his daydream.
“Don't blame yourself, Shou himself has made up his mind. After all he is not weak, trust him.” Missel hugs Sherri warmly, and Sherri takes off what she desperately wants to get out. He cried bitterly, making others not want to stay still. They also try to find a way.
“In my opinion, it is possible that someone other than Shou who has made this earth wall, I don't know who, but maybe he has hatred for Shou.” Clearly a silver-haired adventurer.
“That may be the case, according to reports the mouth of the cave was filled with mist, and Shou was unable to use his magic. So it could be, he trapped her in that way.
“Then, we just destroy this wall!” An adventurer swung his magic-covered axe towards the wall, but strangely, the wall was not scratched in the slightest.
“Yaampun, this wall is very hard.”
“How about the explosion magic?” Ask a man who carries a magic wand.
After hours of discussion and trying various ways to destroy the wall, they finally exhausted themselves. Even the explosion magic performed by several witches simultaneously, was unable to knock down the wall at all, and only produced a loud enough vibration.
“Day has started afternoon, next we better leave it to the imperial side.” Said the guild leader.
Everyone looked disappointed, let alone Sherri who fell silent after hearing those words. He continues to blame himself for this problem.
“Don't worry, Shou must be fine. After all the empire would help him, including the goddesses who were definitely more knowledgeable about this. I'm sure they can definitely find a way to open up that path.” Missel hugged Sherri to be calmer, and Sherri tried to smile to cover up her deep pain.
They all returned empty-handed, their steps heavy because they felt useless when needed. Even so, most of them have a mandate that must be carried out, to improve economic conditions. While Sherri can only lament her memories with Shou this morning, she remembers the time when she was offered a ring made of jewels.
Maybe this could be a clue, he thought. But since it was already afternoon, and everything seemed exhausted, he thought it best to tell the others later. He does not want to burden these people with excess just because the information is not necessarily useful. Then he approached the guild master and asked, “Are we going to come back here again tomorrow?”
Clearly the guild leader replied, “No, we will leave this matter entirely to the imperial side, as we still have many tasks assigned by Shou.”
Vivi then continued, “While it feels heavy, we have been entrusted by Shou to manage the business he made, we cannot waste it. Not just for our own sake or for her. But in order to help others who need.”
Sherri was silent, she had nothing of the sort. He has nothing but memories given by Shou.
As if Vivi knew the contents of Sherri's heart, she said “even though you don't have something like that, if you just lament and hope, not necessarily a miracle will come to you. Try, so that when he comes back, he will feel proud of you. And I know something.”
Slowly Vivi whispered something that made Sherri forget all her worries.
