But what is your quest about?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We have to exterminate some monsters at the border between Malnor and Rostanta. At the first glance, it sounds pretty hard, but this is just a B-rank quest so no need to worry!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rostanta.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was Malnor’s neighboring nation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>According to the rumors, it was a nation, where everything was solved with violence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In other words, it seemed like a barbaric place.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Luckily, it’s just the border. Being in Rostanta sounds more dangerous than fighting off some monster.\" Mika remarked jokingly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yeah, that’s right. But be that as it may, you can expect us to return at the beginning of next week.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With Judi on our side, the quest shouldn’t be so difficult!\" Gerard declared with a cocky grin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It sounds like Judi is going to do most of the work though...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Well, of course, the others and I will put in the work, but it still puts you at ease, when you know that someone stronger than you has your back, right?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mika sighed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"There’s still something I don’t understand, Gerard. Why did you recruit Judi?

His breathing got more ragged. The uneasiness he felt since the beginning started to grow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What was awaiting him?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He only had to turn the corner.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And as he did so, he swiftly turned his neck.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He slowed down immediately.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His heart was throbbing. His pulse went up. His throat was aching from the ragged breathing. Sweat strolled across his face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shaken, he looked at the person sitting on the ground with the back leaning against the wall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Judi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Judi!\" Mika shouted worried while rushing to her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was bleeding from various spots.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All her injuries came from slash-like attacks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mika...?\" she muttered with a weak voice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don’t strain yourself!
