041 Really won't die?

```

The next day.

In the camp at the foot of the mountain, the bonfire was extinguished during the dim dawn.

While Shane was still sound asleep, Vivian entered his tent and dragged him out.

"Now is exactly when the nocturnal demons are returning to their nests, while most diurnal demons won't emerge until after daylight. This is the best time for us to enter the mountain."

Vivian gathered everyone together with this reasoning.

However, the group of young girls seemed to have long been prepared for this or perhaps just used to this lifestyle. Hence, they all appeared energetic, showing no signs of grogginess.

Only Shane kept yawning amidst the lively young girls, looking as if he might collapse at any moment.

"Honestly, you're so unkempt! Go wash your face and freshen up properly."

Vivian, like a concerned elder sister, shooed Shane to wash up, leaving him with a wry smile.
