For Rick and Croney, who have been struggling to survive since childhood, the story told by Athena is so wonderful and so enviable.

Saint Seiya.

A great warrior who did everything he could to protect humanity.

Their virtues drew Rick to him.

In his opinion, the golden saints in Athena's mouth are all his idols.

Because whenever they encounter danger, they always put their lives and deaths out of their minds, even if they fight for their lives, they have to protect their partners.

This is a deep shame for Rick, who can only let his companions die in order to steal his life whenever he encounters danger.

Although in the eyes of Micah and Athena, Rick is no worse than the Golden Saints.

The reason why the Golden Saint Seiya was able to sacrifice so happily was because there were companions behind them who were worthy of trust and trusted by them.

But Rick is different, he has no companions who can be entrusted to the settlement.

And all the people in the settlement pinned their lives on his shoulders.

He can't die.

That's why he's so miserable.

"That's all for today."

Suddenly, Athena stopped telling her own story.

"Well, why so, please tell me more."

Hearing Athena's words, Cronnie, who was sitting next to her, immediately hugged Athena's arm and pleaded.

Even Rick on the other side of Cloney was full of anticipation.

"No!"

Athena even refused Cloney's request.

Then she said softly, "Don't worry, we won't leave here immediately, we will live here for a while, so there will be time after the story."

"But you should have other things to do now, after all, you've just returned from an expedition."

"And even if you don't have anything to do, you should have a good rest, especially Rick, you just came back from the expedition, you should be very tired."

[In view of the general environment,

"yes, I almost forgot."

Hearing Athena's words, Cloni suddenly realized.

Unlike she had been in the settlement, Rick had been on the expedition for four days.

In the world outside the settlement, it is almost impossible to get a good rest.

In addition to environmental factors, the threat of other organisms is also a problem for vulnerable humans.

It can be seen that Rick must have accumulated a certain level of fatigue.

And when she was listening to Athena's story just now, Cronie noticed that Rick was also listening carefully, thinking that he must also like the stories of other worlds.

So if she continued to listen, Rick would not be able to get a good rest.

As Rick's backing, Cronie didn't want to pull Rick's back because of this.

"That's all for today."

Resisting her desire for a story from another world, Cloney stood up and made a decision.

"Let's go, then."

In a very short time, Micah, who had finished reading the books on history and humanities in Rick's house, also stood up.

Now it's really time to go to bed.

Although with Micah's current physical fitness and strength, there is no need to sleep at all.

But for Micah, sleeping was a pleasure.

And sleeping is also a testament to his humanity.

So Micah still maintains the habit of sleeping.

In the absence of anything else, Micah always slept on time.

"Then let's continue to talk tomorrow, Rick."

"Don't be so excited that you can't sleep at night."

With a wave of his hand, Micah, Cronnie, and Athena walked out of Rick's room.

As for what Rick talked to him about.

In fact, it is just to introduce Micah and Athena to Cloni, and then unify the voice with Cronie, so that the identities of Micah and Athena are not exposed to the eyes of others.

After all, Micah and Athena don't want to reveal their identities yet.

As for the rest, Micah and Rick had already talked about it on the way back.

Who told the two of them to come back without using their strength, but to follow the three of them in the wilderness for two days.

Although Micah just wanted to experience the despair of this world for himself.

Of course, it's time to talk about it, but in fact, Micah and Rick don't have much information to communicate.

Considering that Rick is a smart man, in order to prevent a gap between them, Micah plays himself as a traveler who has just arrived in this world and knows nothing.

And Michael's acting skills, that is the old actor.

As for Athena?

She has lived for an unknown number of years, even if she uses the god of acting skills to describe it, there is no problem.

In this way, there is not much that Micah and Rick can talk about.

And there is actually another reason why Micah did this.

The other one of the best pairs is yet to play.

Jikai species, Hughby.

Micah wasn't going to do anything until she wasn't on the pitch.

As a collector, how can there be a pair that only collects half of it?

Rick and Hughby, the couple who didn't win.

Micah wasn't going to tear them apart.

So before that, Micah needed to "gather intelligence" first.

And Rick, who didn't know the specific strength of Micah and Athena, naturally agreed with this.

After all, he is an expert in the use of intelligence in his own right.

In his opinion, while Micah has great strength, he also does not forget to collect intelligence.

This kind of cautious behavior is the standard for the truly strong.

...

After exiting Rick's room, Clonie led Micah and Athena outside.

"By the way, Micah and Athena, are you going to live together or separately, so I can prepare a room for you."

Suddenly stopped.

Clonie turned around and asked hurriedly.

"You don't have any rooms for outsiders, so let's stay in one room and save you Clonie."

Micah chuckled in response.

It wasn't that he had anything in mind about Athena.

I really think so.

After all, he and Athena were already facing each other in the bathroom.

Simply sleeping together doesn't make a difference compared to that.

"I see."

"Then I'll clean up your room."

Clonie replied earnestly.

Then she glanced back and forth around the settlement.

"Found it."

The corners of Clonie's mouth rose slightly when she spotted her target.

"Yin Wang, this way!"

Clonie shouted and waved her hand, and soon Yin Wang, who was holding the child, appeared and trotted over.

"What's wrong, Croney."

"I'm going to prepare a room for Micah and Athena, so I'll ask you to take them around the settlement during this time, after all, you're also acquaintances."

"Leave it to me."

Yin Wang laughed confidently and patted his chest.

Then he smiled and greeted Micah and Athena, "See you again, both."

"Next, I, Yin Wang, will be the guide for the two of you."

"Then please, Yin Wang."

Micah chuckled in response.
