Vol.2 Ch.113: 30F - Hell Train: Revolution Road (1)

30F - Hell Train: Revolution Road (1): Repellista Zahard was playing a game and having fun when Alumik Edrok came in and told her that she should go to bed to which Repellista responded by saying she wanted to stay up late tonight because she was on vacation. Alumik then proceeded in saying that the animals that usually made a lot of noise with their cries were calm and that it meant there may be an amazing guest coming before telling Repellista to not play too many games and go to sleep. She then said that games were always fun.

The scene moved to Ha Yuri Zahard and Evan Edrok confronting members of the Royal Guards. Yuri then wondered how the Royal Guards knew she would be here with Evan, the later saying they shouldn't have come because Repellista wouldn't tell her anything before wondering why Yuri would get her hopes up. Yuri told him to shut up and then said that Repellista called for her even though her message had been vague. Evan replied that Repellista was just messing with her but an annoyed Yuri told him to stop acting like he knew it all.

Evan then says that Yuri was higher in rank than the Royal Guards so if she told them to leave they couldn't refuse. Yuri then told them to leave but they responded by raising their weapons against her. This irritated Yuri and she promptly proceeded to beat them before appearing before Repellista.

Meanwhile Evan discussed with Alumik asking why he would use a dead boy as bait and where he was planning to take the Princess. Back in Repellista's room, Yuri tells her sister that she could have at least done the favour she had asked for since she completed Repellista's favour of getting the baby Zygaena flower. After some chat Repellista handed Yuri a ticket for the Hell Express, telling her it was hard to get. Yuri replied that she can't even get on since she wasn't a D-Rank Regular but Repellista told her she would end up boarding the Train because the boy she's looking for will be on that Train in a year from now.

HELLO PEOPLE :D

It's a little late, but this is the Afterword for Chapter 113. It's been so long since Yuri made an appearance. Many of you wanted to see her, it seems.

In a way, you could say that Yuri is a protagonist-like character for the Zahard Princess storyline, and in other words a storyline that'll be in the later half of Tower of God. For now, only foreshadowing has been done and no exact story has been told, but Yuri and Repellista will be handled with more importance later on so it would be alright to look forward to that.

To be honest, I thought a lot about what material to include in this chapter. I needed a story to refresh the atmosphere as I switch arcs, and naturally the story of Yuri and Repell was chosen, but to making the chapter longer made it seem too boring, and making it shorter didn't do the job of refreshing and seemed to make the atmosphere messier instead.

So while thinking I did some more work, and in the end I added some more story to the end of this chapter, then removed it. Rather than putting pieces of different stories in different chapters, I decided that even if it downplays the intrigue, I should highlight important materials one at a time.

As a result, Yuri has begun to ascertain that Baam is alive. The relationship between Baam and Yuri will play an incredibly important role in this webtoon.

Starting next chapter, a newer story will begin to unfold. I hope you enjoy it, and I will post the Slayer material after this.

Thank you^^
