"Thank you very much." A father lowered his head to Clovis while holding his daughter on his arm. The father gently tugged at his daughter. "Co on, Hilda."
"Thank you, Big Brother." The daughter was still small, so she clumsily thanked him.
"You're welco. I'm glad that both of you are alright." Clovis gave a gentle smile. They were among the people he saved earlier.
After the terrorists were repelled, the rest of the people began to enter the mall and rescue the rest of the people.
Kanaria and lody were staying with him while Vina was about to be brought to the hospital.
In the end, Vina went to the hospital together with her master, while Clovis still had to get a checkup in the hospital after so basic treatnt.
Nevertheless, it was a hectic day.
As expected, the commander ca to them.
"Hello. We t again." The commander smiled. "I think I haven't introduced myself earlier. I am Lohan from the anti-terrorism squad. I'd like to thank you for saving my subordinates. If not for you standing up against a Tier 3 terrorist, it would have been a disaster."
"It's fine. In fact, it felt like I was the one responsible for that danger. Had I not suggested you defeat the Tier 4 terrorist captain, all this wouldn't have happened."
"It wasn't your fault. It was our fault for trusting our equipnt a little too much." The commander paused for a mont. "And the most important reason for being here was because I wanted to pass on his ssage.
"It was from the guy that kept interrupting you earlier. He wanted to apologize for his behavior and thank you for saving his life."
Clovis shook his head. "It's fine. There is a huge gap between Tier 1 and Tier 3. Besides, I am also a civilian, so I can understand."
"Thanks. In that case, let bring you to the hospital. You surely wouldn't like to get surrounded by all those reporters and content creators, so I will bring you out of here. However, I can't do anything if the police want to record your statent. What do you think?"
Clovis glanced at both Kanaria and lody, who agreed with the arrangent. "In that case, we won't be polite."
"Sure. Co this way."
Lohan was driving to the hospital, which happened to be the hospital that lody wanted to visit.
Now that he thought about it, lody had been accompanying him this whole ti as if she were never as lazy as she claid to be.
Because Clovis didn't ask her imdiately, the car beca extrely quiet and awkward. Lohan couldn't help but ask, "Clovis, was it? I've said it before, but if you are tired of exploring the subterranean world, you are free to contact and join my group. It's rare to have soone as strong as you."
"Is that so? The reason why you don't scout imdiately is because you want to keep advancing without wasting the governnt's resources?" Clovis teased him with a cheeky smile.
"Hahaha. You sure have a wild imagination. Not at all. While exploring is dangerous, it's also fun. After you reach my age, exploring is not as fun anymore. It's more like a job.
You need it to maintain your lifestyle. That's why I quit." Lohan chuckled.
"Oh!" Clovis nodded in understanding. He had heard about this from his grandfather.
His grandfather said, "At first, exploring was indeed fun and you made a lot of money by doing it.
"However, once your sense of money got distorted and you spent more and more each month, you would end up thinking about the burden of money. At that ti, exploration would beco a job."
Clovis didn't think much about it at that ti, but after getting a lot of money, he could understand it a little bit.
They talked a little bit about the adventurers that Lohan once had. But it had been cut short since they reached the hospital.
"Alright. We've arrived. Have a good ti. I bet the police will send so officers to ask so questions." Lohan waved his hand.
"Yes. Thank you, Mr. Lohan." Clovis nodded with a smile.
Once inside, Clovis was dragged by the nurse as he said, "You guys don't have to wait for ."
lody hesitated for a mont before replying, "Co to room 474 later."
"Alright." Clovis nodded as he entered the ergency unit.
"474?" Kanaria glanced at lody.
"Do you want to co?" lody's expression looked a bit sad. It seed that she wanted to reveal sothing important.
After so thought, Kanaria nodded her head. "Alright."
lody and Kanaria imdiately headed to the elevator. lody moved like she knew this hospital like her own house.
And finally, they reached the hospital room.
There was only a single bed inside. Kanaria could see a man lying on the bed. The man was extrely thin and frail, but she noticed the slight resemblance between him and lody. His face looked older, making her think this person was lody's sweetheart or sothing.
lody took out a brochure about a certain ga instead of the ga itself since she didn't manage to buy it earlier.
"Dante… I've co again. Look at what I've brought… This is the newest ga console that is about to be released soon. We can play together soon." lody was doing her best to smile, even though her heart was always wrenched in pain whenever she visited him. "Also, today, your sister brings friends here.
"Let introduce you to her." lody smiled. Her temperant was very different from what she had shown this whole ti. "She is Kanaria. There is one more person with her. He is called Clovis. How about we go and play together with them?
We can beat them in the ga."
After that, she turned to lody and finally introduced the sleeping man. "This is my little brother, Dante. He might look older, but he is only a year older than you."
"!!!" Kanaria widened her eyes in disbelief.
