After stowing Lachlan's eyes away safely, Evangeline left the Oasis Tribe. The wandering Beastmen were ignorant; she had no reason to stoop to their level. It would have been a complete waste of time.
Her figure was a blur as she sped toward the cave where she and Danton had once stayed.
'It's been so long. I wonder how Danton is doing.'
「Two days later.」
Evangeline found herself standing not far from the cave where she and Danton had temporarily stayed for a few days.
The familiar, lush greenery was just as she remembered it, but the vines cascading down the rock face had grown much thicker since she left. The cave mouth was obscured behind them, showing no signs of habitation.
Evangeline's brows furrowed. She stepped closer to investigate. At the mouth of the cave, the remains of the campfire she had built to roast fish before she left were still there.
"Danton?" Evangeline swept the vines aside and called into the cave, but there was no reply.
