Now, that the second year has started and I already have what I need to go hunt the Rank-2 monsters, that is what I planned to do so.
This connection to Yaros may sever after the 100-year trial that the gods announced. They never said that the connection would be gone nor they said anything about the continuation.
It was only said that the trial ends after 100 years from the announcement and Yaros would help them survive the trial. That was all they said but one can see many meanings behind that.
Yaros is after helping us to survive this trial but once that was over, then there was no need for the connection with Yaros to continue.
A connection like that would not be a simple thing and continuing that longer may also not be a wiser move. Well, that was just my opinion.
What happens in the end I have no idea. So, making the best use of the last possible time that we may have on Yaros is for the best.
