The Author's POV

"Well, that was easier than I thought"

Stepping foot into Setin, Kevin glanced around as he responded.

"...Yeah, this was a bit too easy for my taste as well"

Casually looking around the insides of the city, I nodded my head and added.

"Well, it is only natural considering the layout of the city"

"I guess..."

Entering the city of Setin wasn't hard, with how massive the city was and the fact that there were no outer walls encircling the place, Kevin, Silug, and I were able to enter the city without any difficulties.

Still, although we had entered the city fairly easily, that didn't mean that we could let our guards down.

The city was filled with demons and a single wrong step could lead to our demise.

...so just because we had entered didn't mean anything. This was probably the easiest task.

The hard part would naturally come in due time.

Looking left and right of the city as he admired the buildings before him, Kevin said.

"I guess the fact that orcs aren't very good at sneaking into places also played a part as to why the city is not that heavily guarded"

Hearing's Kevin point, I couldn't help but agree more.

"Yeah, that's true"

Simultaneously glancing towards our right, both Kevin's and I's eyes paused on Silug's massive frame. After traveling with him all the way to Setin, we pretty much understood why Setin wasn't that secured.

There was no way someone as big as him could enter the city without being noticed. Especially since orcs tended to be extremely hot-blooded.

Just an insult and they would fly into a fit of rage.

If not for the fact that I kept enticing Silug with the prospect of revenge, we would've long been discovered.

Inwardly sighing and staring at the city before me, I decided to find a secluded spot to rest.

We had been traveling non-stop for the past few days and so we needed to find a place to get proper rest as things were soon going to become difficult.

...especially considering what we had to do next.

"Here, this should do for now"

After a while, arriving before a rather inconspicuous-looking house that seemed to be desolate, checking to make sure that no one was present, I urged both Kevin and Silug to enter.

This was after I was able to confirm that the place was indeed abandoned.

The interior of the house was nothing special as dust and spiderwebs covered the place. Torn and worn-out carpets appeared on the floor and aside from a large wooden table and a few chairs in the middle of the room, there was nothing else inside of the house.

...it was evident that this was an old house that an orc used to prior to when the demons invaded.

Staring at Silug and Kevin who had both sat down on the wooden chairs of the room, I made my way towards the entrance of the house.
