Emily had entered this dungeon instance twice, and in one of those instances, the leader of her group used his ability to bombard the settlement from afar, giving her and the other hunters an easy clear.
At that time, she felt envious of the leader's skill and happy not to have to work hard to clear the dungeon.
But now, all of this had become a burden on her heart.
She could steel her heart against killing goblin armies, but to kill someone innocent...
They kept walking through the settlement.
Before, Emily had focused on the ogre's movement and the danger they were in; now, her attention started to shift to the conditions in which the goblins lived.
She then realized some of the goblins peeking out had sunken cheeks.
"How long have all of you been here?" she asked.
"If I use time from Lady Emily's world, then it has been around seven months now."
