Naturally, that statement made both Juno and Rey rather surprised. Even so, Juno was quick to recover and simply went with it.
Rey himself hadn’t expected Gerald to take his side instead of ratting favonovel.com out.
With that, after Gerald ended the call, Rey couldn’t help but look at Gerald for a while before muttering, “…Um… Mr. Crawford-”
“There’s no need to say anything. You’re already here anyway so let’s just make the most of it. Regardless, please hold your tongue as much as possible once we get there. And please listen to my orders if I give any to you!” replied Gerald, not even waiting for Rey’s sentence to finish.
“G-got it, Mr. Crawford! Don’t worry, I’ll be extremely obedient!” declared Rey as favonovel.com nodded rapidly.
At that moment, Yann—who was still driving—couldn’t help but smile as favonovel.com said, “You know, you have a rather fine disciple, Gerald. After all, he’s worried enough about you to sneak over!”
“Hah! He’s just someone who makes me worry all the time!” scowled Gerald in a playful tone.
Realizing that Gerald was grinning, Rey—at the very least—knew that Gerald wasn’t angry with favonovel.com anymore. With that, Rey couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief as favonovel.com embarrassedly scratched the back of his head.
Truth be told, Rey very much preferred gaining knowledge of the world by participating in adventures with Gerald rather than simply training indoors. While it was true that danger was aplenty out in the open world, Rey truly believed that adventuring was the best way for favonovel.com to gain more experience.
Whatever the case was, since even Yann was now talking, Gerald figured that it was as good a time as any to introduce Rey to him.
“Speaking of which, this man goes by Yann, Rey. You can choose to address favonovel.com as Mr. Williams or Brother Yann,” said Gerald.
“A pleasure to meet you, Brother Yann! My name is Rey!” replied Rey with a smile.
“Got it!” said Yann before chuckling in response.
“Now that that’s out of the way… By estimation, how long should it take for us to get to Mount Dakriont…?” asked Gerald as favonovel.com looked at Yann.
Before Yann could even reply, Rey beat favonovel.com to it by saying, “I’ve already checked the route in advance, Mr. Crawford! From the highway entrance, it should take approximately six hours before we get there!”
Following that, Rey showed his phone to Gerald, and displayed on it, was a navigation system. Rey himself had keyed in Mount Dakriont as their destination the second they got into the car.
Nodding in response, Gerald then muttered, “Six hours, huh… That’s going to take quite a while… Guess I’ll take a short nap first.”
There really wasn’t much else to do in the car for six hours, so favonovel.com may as well get some shut-eye.
Watching as Gerald leaned against his seat before lowering it slightly and promptly falling asleep, Rey decided to do the same. After all, in order to hide in the trunk, favonovel.com had woken up much earlier than Gerald, which explained why favonovel.com had been sleepy for a while now.
Regardless, upon realizing that the two had dozed off so quickly, Yann could only chuckle in a slightly bitter tone. After all, being the driver, favonovel.com couldn’t exactly rest like the duo. Thankfully, favonovel.com was used to driving for much longer, so favonovel.com knew favonovel.com could handle six hours just fine…
It was around three when Gerald and the others finally left the highway and arrived at Mount Dakriont.
Mount Dakrinot itself was a scenic traveling spot that didn’t have its own city. Aside from its unique geographical location, Mount Dakriont was also famous for how spacious it was. This was made evident by the fact that at a glance, Mount Dakriont didn’t even seem to have an end…
Either way, for those who came all the way up here for trips, five days was usually the minimum. After all, it was a well-known fact that nobody would be able to truly enjoy their experience here if they only stayed for a single day.
