[1-200] THE EVOLUTION OF A GOBLIN TO THE PEAK

Chapter 58 - The Great War

"Sorry, it took longer than it needed." Souta apologized to Bryan after he came back. He cleaned the bloodstain on his body. That's the reason why he took a long time.

"I'm curious... What did you do?" Bryan asked Souta with a curious expression.

"It's not that worth mentioning." Souta waved his hand and walked beside Yuko. He stretched out his hand and patted her head.

"So where should we go, Souta?" Bryan asked. Souta was the only one who knew their exact goals, so he needed to depend on him.

"We will go back to the village and come back this night," Souta said.

"Huh?" Bryan exclaimed.

"What's wrong?" Souta asked him when he heard Bryan's loud voice.

"Why?" Bryan said one word. He was asking why they should go back to the village.

"I said before that we will scout this area first," Souta said as he shrugged his shoulders.

The girl called Cluster just looked at their interactions. She didn't know why but she felt afraid of Bryan and Souta. She didn't know why but she felt a powerful presence behind the two. It was especially towards Bryan.

Souta noticed her looking at Bryan with slight fear in her eyes. Although it was just a second, it didn't escape his eyes.

"Oi, what's your name?" Souta asked the girl. He asked her name to avoid suspicion in case he blurted out her name.

"Um... Cluster." The girl replied in a low voice.

"Oh! So your name's Cluster, huh? You don't need to worry now, I will protect you." Bryan said as he patted his chest.

"...thank you for saving me!" Cluster hesitated for a while before she bowed her head and thanked Bryan and Souta.

'Cluster, huh? It felt familiar to me...' Souta thought while looking at her. He smiled at her and said, "My name's Souta Ieshi and this guy is Bryan Dagruel, a comrade of mine."

Bryan smiled and patted his chest proudly.

Something caught Cluster's attention in Souta's words. She tilted her head and said, "From Ieshi Clan?"

"Ieshi Clan? What's that?" Souta asked her when he heard her mentioned Ieshi Clan. It was the first time he heard a clan in this world that has the same surname as his.

"Um... They are a family with the power to see the future." Cluster lowered her head and said in a tiny voice.

"I see..." Souta nodded in understanding. It was the first time he heard that someone has the power to see the future in this world. Even in the game, he hasn't heard it at all. Especially, the Ieshi Clan. He looked at her and asked, "So where are they?"

Cluster shook her head and said, "They are an ancient family and some people said that they all died in the Great War."

'So that's why I didn't know about the Ieshi Clan.' Souta thought. The happenings in the Great War was still a mystery even to him. He only knew little details about it.

"Where did you learn about that?" Souta asked.

"In the place where I lived. There's a lot of books there and I don't have anything to do, so I kept reading books." Cluster replied to him.

"Hmm..." Souta guessed that it was the books from the True God's Holy Kingdom. It's within his expectations that the Three Great Countries have some records of the Great War. After all, they were founded for a few thousand years ago.

Souta squatted down and asked, "Can you tell me more about the Great War later? I'm curious about what happened in that war."

"...okay." Cluster nodded.
