After facing the Minotaur, Axel drove back behind the Red Zone before coming to a stop. The girls were spent after using the Ritual Curse, so it would be dangerous to continue as they were.
"Let's rest for a bit here," Axel suggested. "I'll keep an eye on the surroundings, so you girls just drink potions and rest for now."
"Thank you for the consideration, Sir Axel..."
Even their voices sounded tired.
As soon as the plan was set, everyone left the Humvee for a breather. Axel, of course, handled their safety by erecting temporary wooden barricades around them, ensuring a basic defense against monsters.
As for the girls, they seemed to be resting properly while keeping an eye on the surroundings, not fully letting their guards down.
Seeing them like this, Axel could only smile wryly.
'Well, it helps either way,' he thought.
With everything set up, he sat on top of the Humvee, gaining a good vantage point over the surroundings. Then, without delay, he began browsing the shop.
