*Meanwhile, A whole day had passed since the hero and the knights left the shop. In the meantime, everything is going well. They finally had their first lunch without needing to eat the mushroom soup*
Obvious Hero: "Hmm... So good!! This steak is delightful!!
Knight Fom: "I didn't expect that Wryan knows how to cook"
Timid Heroine: "Yeah right! Despite his look, he's a decent chef"
Edgy Rival: "What do you mean "despite his look"? I'm a decent person from the very start so feel free to praise me more!!
Jerson: "It's not bad but it could be better"
Edgy Rival: "Tsk! It's just hard for you to accept how delicious I cook"
Evelyn: "What are you saying it's not bad? It's great!! The meat is so tender and juicy"
Geina: "Yup..."
Sander: "And the fruits are perfectly sliced"
Edgy Rival: "Ha! You don't know how many years it took me to gain these skills. (Finally! I'm getting the recognition I deserve!)
Delson speaks out his mind while being moody about them going to Serraria Bridge, "Nonetheless, he's still practically useless when it comes to fighting"
Edgy Rival: "What??"
Obvious Hero: "Haha yeah, I agree with that"
Timid Heroine: "Actually, The time we all spent together I've never seen your ability at all except your power to avoid the enemy"
*All of them hysterically laugh*
Edgy Rival: "(Damn it! Why just can't they realised that I'm forbidden to show my real power!) Whatever..."
Knight Fom: "That's the meal for the day! Two days to go and we're about to reach the Serarria Bridge"
Obvious Hero: "It's time to go!!"
*On their second day, everything remains the same. Everyone enjoys the delicious feast. While Delson is having a hard time as they get closer into the bridge*
While he was having his lunch he keeps overthinking, (Why... why... why.... No matter how many times I've said it to them they just keep ignoring it.
Obvious Hero: "Delson"
(That monster is too deadly!! It doesn't mean I want to give up I just want everyone to be safe)
"Delson?"
(What should I do to make them listen to me!!)
"DELSON!!"
Bonus Character: "Huh?"
Obvious Hero: "We were asking you about what you think of the curry"
Bonus Character: "Uhh... It's good! Delicious..."
Obvious Hero: "Listen, I know you're worried about that legendary monster. No matter how huge a challenge is or how difficult it can be. We will face with all our might!"
Timid Heroine: "As expected from you, Norean. Remember, Don't ever think of giving up!"
Edgy Rival: "Yeah yeah challenge here difficult there. We don't have a choice right now but to keep moving forward"
Bonus Character: "I'll take a nap back in the carriage"
Knight Fom: "I guess we're all done here now? So let's keep moving!"
*The third day, After consuming their lunch they encountered another forest with tremendously tall trees*
Obvious Hero: "Another Forest? Are we getting closer?"
Timid Heroine: "Don't tell me we're about to find another shop? That would be insane!"
Edgy Rival: "That would be BORING! Imagine us travelling in an infinite cycle that if we can't get out of that situation we're dead"
Obvious Hero: "I have a slight feeling that we did travel in an infinite cycle"
All: "Huh?"
*BAGAAMM!!* *Neyyy!!!*
*An explosion startled them coming from behind*
Obvious Hero: "What's that noise?"
Bonus Character: "It came from the knight's carriage!"
TImid Heroine: "No way... the horse is severely injured!!"
Edgy Rival: "There's no time for that horse!!"
Knight Fom: "WHAT IS THAT!! I HEARD AN EXPLOSION!"
Bonus Character: "STOP THE CARRIAGE, SIR FOM!!"
Knight Fom: "All right!"
*The hero's team rushed to check the condition of the knights*
Obvious Hero: "Please be safe, Please be safe"
*They saw Jerson and Evelyn pulling Geina and Sander out of the smoking and burning carriage*
Obvious Hero: "What happened??"
Jerson speaks out catching his breath, "The supplies we bought from the shop exploded!"
Sander: "Yeah... It's a good thing I noticed it... *pant* *pant* I managed to protect everyone from massive destruction"
Evelyn: "But that's all the resources we had. What do we do now?"
Knight Fom: "No way, all the food and water... were blown up?"
Edgy Rival: "This is it... We'll starve to death!"
Timid Heroine: "How did this happen? When did an enemy manage to sabotage us?"
Obvious Hero: "From the very start."
All: "What?"
Obvious Hero: "The moment we decided to start this mission. Everything is planned by that certain person. That seven-day journey without nothing to see and that odd shop from an isolated forest. All of those will not be possible unless someone is trying to buy some time"
Bonus Character: "Buying some time? Then the only ones who can do that are the Dark Warriors to prevent us from saving the Grand Sorcerers"
Timid Heroine: "I see... so that Dark Warrior must be waiting on the Serraria Bridge right now..."
Edgy Rival: "What I said was true. He's forcing us to keep moving forward until we don't have the choice of going back"
Knight Fom: "I saw it. I saw the bridge a few seconds before the explosion and two people are standing there waiting for us"
Bonus Character: "We lost a horse, carriage and lots of resources but if we successfully pass this bridge we can gain all of that... in that Capital Kingdom"
Obvious Hero: "Let's go... and obliterate everything stands on our way"
*They all went to the first carriage just to see it burns down along with a dead horse*
Obvious Hero: "DAMN IT!!!"
Timid Heroine: "Calm down, Norean"
Bonus Character: "Yeah, keep it together! And don't let your guard down! We're getting closed to the bridge"
*At the distance, they saw two silhouettes*
Edgy Rival: "That two-person... That small one is not a kid"
*As they walk continuously the four strongest knights of Nearby Kingdom walks in front protecting the hero's team*
Obvious Hero: "What are you guys doing?"
Jerson: "Can't you tell? The magical power of that tall person is insane!"
Geronio: "What's this? The knights are forming a blockade. Are they aware of your sudden attack, Master?"
Yvien: "Hehe! Not bad, I guess we have to greet them properly"
