The Author's POV

Chapter 122

Inside of a densely packed forest, two individuals calmly walked through the heavy vegetation. Of the two individuals, one stood at the front looking at a large map made out of paper, whilst behind him, another individual followed him with a confused look on his face.

"Are you sure we're headed in the right direction?"

Scratching my chin, as I looked at the map before me. Tilting the map sideways, with a hint of doubt I responded.

"err...should be?"

Taken aback, Kevin couldn't help but say

"y-ou, don't tell me that we're lost"

"no, well, maybe. But most likely not"

-Smack!

Facepalming, an extended sigh escaped from Kevin's mouth. He was starting to regret his decision...

Not even halfway through the journey and they were already lost. Just what kind of guide was this?

Noticing Kevin's action, I shrugged my shoulders.

In my defense, I didn't have much to work with.

Although I had a general idea of where the dungeon was, well, let's just say that a lot of the important information on how Kevin found the dungeon was skipped in the novel. After all, back then when I was writing this part of the story, I basically directly skipped to the moment Kevin found the dungeon.

...Thus, because of how lazy I was back then, I was currently in a pickle.

Fortunately, I had a few reference points to work with

"A river...a large bent tree and a cave..."

Those were the things I was looking out for.

"Keumm...keumm...can I just ask why you're using a paper map instead of your phone?"

Coughing a couple of times, Kevin glanced at me and asked me something that had been on his mind ever since leaving the small town below.

Looking back at Kevin, brushing my hair to the side I lazily said

"What difference does it make? In the end, with this, I can just save my phone's battery"

Taking out my phone and pointing towards the top right corner, I said

"...Moreover, good luck finding a signal in the middle of nowhere"

Raising his hands in resignation, Kevin said

"Alright, do whatever makes you comfortable. I was just curious as I've never seen anyone use paper maps anymore"

Briefly glancing at Kevin, I shook my head and continued to observe the map.

Fair enough.

I would've used my phone if there was a GPS signal that would directly show me the path I had to go...sadly such a thing didn't exist. So, I just chose to use a map as that was what I used to use back on earth.

...I guess old habits never die.
