"I went on a hidden quest I found alone, leaving you and the others."
Isabelle began with a soft tone.
"The quest sounded easy, but I never expected I would encounter that thing."
I didn't say anything and only listened.
'That thing?'
Whatever that was, Isabelle's body was trembling, and she held her arms tightly when she mentioned it. Maybe that was the source of her trauma.
No matter how much I wanted to console her and tell her, everything would be fine now that I was here.
But that wouldn't help her. She needed to face her trauma by herself. I was only here to support her slightly and give her the push she needed.
So I waited. It didn't take long before she continued.
"I went to a Level 80 dungeon with a party. It's not just a random party. You know them too, the 3 girls' party called Valkyrie Squad."
"I know them." I nodded in confirmation.
