There was no need for them to drag things on for too long. As soon as they finished their preparations, Seven Stars departed from Shalyh. Their purpose was to rescue their target if she was alive and defeat Balim while they were at it. Perhaps some would think their main and side goal had been flipped, but Chi-Woo was confident in his decision. After all, this goal concerned an individual who Perfect Yoo-Joo declared as one of the most important driving forces that allowed her to achieve success. Of course, it wasn’t guaranteed that he would benefit the same way as Perfect Yoo-Joo had since they were from different worldlines, but he wanted to confirm the truth at least once.

Chi-Woo looked at Umaru for an explanation, and Umaru smiled mischievously and glanced sideways. Was he talking about their team members? Chi-Woo tilted his head.

Unlike what his rough appearance suggested, it seemed that the man’s head was full of far-fetched dreams and imaginations. Chi-Woo snorted wryly.
