"The Eastern Route is far away. The middle route is closer to us. Shouldn't you use the closest route?" Asked a girl who was travelling with two other people. One was the old man, and the other was a young man who seemed romantically interested in this girl.
Even other members of the group looked at her with hopeful eyes because she was really strong, in fact, the strongest here. Because of her, their journey has been very smooth, fast and safe.
Now, if they lost her, they would be completely on their own to defend themselves. Not to mention, the Middle Route was more dangerous than other routes.
"To cross the Pine Zone, I will take the eastern route. The person that I want to meet should be on the other side of the route." Athena wanted to go alone.
She did not want to involve this group in her matter. There was no need for anyone to know anything about her.
