Chapter 343. Homeward
I crossed over to the Apartment where those uninvited guests were staying, with Joina by my side.
Running with someone other than Schneider was quite a novel experience.
*I ran at a gentle pace, though.*
I already knew about it, but Joina’s Ability was still amazing to witness.
She ran straight through the various obstacles abandoned on the road, never bothering to avoid them. It was as if she were using a summoner’s spell from some game.
An Ability that allowed her to turn her body ghost-like while running.
Thanks to this, Joina rarely had to change direction or slow down. She maintained her top speed, running in a straight line, passing through even large car-like obstacles without fear.
It seems we’ll be able to travel together in the future, as long as I adjust my speed to match hers.
*It could definitely be helpful.*
As she said, I might be able to use her as a messenger if anything happens. I should also research other ways to utilize Joina’s Ability by investing Essence.
“Stay here.”
“Yes. Please be careful.”
I entered the management office alone.
I easily dealt with one Man and found four Women they had been holding.
*Haaah… I knew their condition wouldn’t be good, of course.*
It was a small room where the Women were confined. The foul odor pierced my Mask.
The Women, their limbs bound, stared at me with dead eyes, like those of a frozen pollack. It was easy to imagine the treatment they had received here.
