After saying goodbye to them, Ethan left the Telmarian Tribe Village. With Leon's abilities, there was no way they would go exploring without him.
To check whether Ethan was still alive, Leon only needed to look at the party status window. If Ethan's name still appeared online in green, that meant he was alive.
Elsewhere, Leon was visibly anxious about Ethan's disappearance. He actually wanted to start a search, but that would be risky.
What if Ethan is already heading back to the village?
Then both of them would end up missing each other while searching.
Risa agreed with him. If they both went out to look for Ethan, it would be harder to meet. The best choice was to wait at the inn and hope Ethan would return safely.
For now, Risa decided to obey Leon's orders. Leon had promised Ethan to protect her, and he intended to keep that promise even if it cost him his life.
Two hours passed since early morning when Ethan headed southeast toward the inn's location.
