But we’ll come back to life. We’re Adventurers.

That was only natural. If Adventurers died every time a monster got them, it wouldn’t be much of a game. That was why they revived in the temple. However, this wasn’t true for the People of the Earth.

People of the Earth died.

Because they were NPCs.

That was just as ordinary as it was for Adventurers to revive. However, even though Leonardo knew that death was natural, he was unable to accept it as such.

Ridiculous… You know there’s no helping that. That’s just how it goes…isn’t it?

The things KR had said rose in his mind.

The symbiotic relationship between People of the Earth and Adventurers. He understood that.

There were more People of the Earth in this world than Adventurers, and there was work that only they could do. Therefore, Adventurers couldn’t get by all on their own. In that case, why not just use the People of the Earth as servants and live that way? The way Plant Hwyaden—the guild from Minami that had come up in the conversation—did things was perfectly logical in this world.

Even so, something just didn’t sit right with him, and Kanami, Elias, and even Coppélia were listening to Chun Lu as if that “something” was only natural.

He’d never been good with this sort of dreary emotion.

Leonardo was a genuine New Yorker, and as a city-dweller, he was a believer in dry, hard, urban survival. In New York, everyone had their hands full just trying to save themselves. Working to help yourself was the heart of liberalism.

The weak died. That was simply how the world worked.

However, by that same logic, Leonardo sensed nobility in this middle-aged merchant, Ju Ha.

In the midst of this harsh battle for survival, they risked their most valuable asset—their lives—by trading in this dangerous wasteland. Ju Ha had survived, but his companions had lost their lives. On the whole, it was probably safe to say that the caravan had lost this bet. Ju Ha had been defeated, and he’d lost a lot of property and irreplaceable friends. However, that didn’t decrease his nobility in the slightest. After all, he’d tried.

“So what are you planning to do now, Ju Ha and Chun Lu?”

“Your companions are gone, and I doubt you’ll be able to travel any farther west.”

It looked as if Ju Ha had already been thinking of the things Leonardo and Elias had said. He had only one horse left, and he’d lost most of his guards. Journeying farther would be difficult.

Chun Lu had been about to say something, but she faltered and glanced at Ju Ha. Her employer’s wishes probably took priority.

“You’re right. I’ll have to start all over again. I’m planning to sell off as much of my cargo as possible in this village, then return. If I make it to the City of Mare’s Milk, Dadu may be far, but I think I’ll be able to pull some people together and make a fresh start.”

Chun Lu was a Cleric. That had probably helped them survive. The wounds both Chun Lu and Ju Ha had sustained when fleeing from the gnolls had healed already.
