"Of course, of course you can!"
Ronald was taken aback by Lulu's question.
Because in his mind, the mermaid was already a member of his team, why would he need to seek his own consent for this?
Lulu noticed Ronald's confusion, so she took the initiative to explain:
"Ronald, I know you might find it a bit strange."
"But in our civilization, exploring a brand new realm is a very important matter. Now that I'm with you, the host, from a courtesy standpoint, I certainly need to ask this."
Only then did Ronald understand:
"I see, thank you for explaining."
"..."
The minor interruption ended, and Ronald and his group began to head toward the summit of Barrier Mountain.
He wasn't the type to go back on his word, so while leaving, he removed the black mist of Hell and freed the pirates within the mountain.
Most pirates chose to immediately flee the plaza, but still wreaked havoc inside Barrier Mountain, clearly intending to get one last score before leaving.
