Chapter 397. Aje’s Apocalypse Survival Record
We safely arrived at Choguljae.
As expected, the orphanage people were greatly impressed by the Village Wall.
“It looks just like a Fortress Wall.”
“It’s pretty good, right?”
“It’s incredible. Truly amazing.”
It took four days to reach the village from the orphanage. The schedule was slightly delayed as I matched the pace of the kids.
And yesterday, the Director/Head Doctor finally dropped the formalities.
“Kwaaaang!”
Did he catch my scent? Schneider came rushing towards me, leaving a Black afterimage in his wake.
Schneider reached me before the orphanage members could even scream in surprise.
“Haha. Schneider. Have you been well?”
“Nyaaaang.”
“You seem… even bigger?”
I hugged Schneider, who had placed his Forepaw on me. Holding him as if hugging a person, I patted his lower back, just above his buttocks.
“Wait… didn’t you say he was a cat?”
“He is a cat. When he was a kitten, he was really this small.”
I heard Bitna and Gayoung talking behind me. The kids seemed utterly terrified.
“Raid Leader!”
Sora was next after Schneider. Sora, who had been smoking below the Barrier, waved at us when she saw us.
By the time we finally reached the Barrier, most of the Village people were out.
“We’re back.”
This expedition, with the addition of the orphanage group, ended much faster than the last. The Village people looked at us with questioning expressions, surprised by our earlier-than-expected return.
