"Haha," Leon laughed warmly as he pat the two girls' heads gently, feeling their relief through their tight embraces, "I guess its been a while."
To Leon it had only been a few days since the [Time Overseer] had advanced time outside during the challenge, meaning he felt as if only seconds had passed and the separation had been brief.
But to them, it had indeed been an entire month without any news from him, so seeing him again was clearly relieving.
The trio climbed the stairs and reached their inn room, which had two beds in it and was cozy but simple.
"We've been staying here the entire time since its cheap," Celeste explained, "And other than that, we just leveled up as much as we could, trying to make the most of the time."
"Oh?" Leon grinned with curiosity, "What level are you two now after so long of grinding?"
They both sent their panels over to Leon and... he was actually quite surprised by what he saw, his eyebrows raising in genuine appreciation.
