Big surprising guests

Though I was in a rush to go back, it wasn't as if I could rush us this time.

With how much of a rush we had been in to get the Relic of Destruction and to get it back to the Holy Empire, I knew that everyone in our group was already exhausted.

If I pushed them even harder, there was no doubt that they would all collapse.

Especially Joan who had been pushing herself hard.

She was the one that had continued to breathe those flames filled with divine energy into the ruins. That had taken a lot of energy out of her and she had been very exhausted by the end of it.

It was barely enough rest during our time at the Democratic Union. She was only able to move, but she wasn't able to use much of her powers after that experience.

She would still need more rest if she wanted to recover her strength.

So I just couldn't push them even if I wanted to reach our kingdom as soon as possible.
