Because if it had been like the novel, we'd have been too frustrated to wait for the chasing arc

I agreeeee, also I think it's such a good time to do it plot wise. The whole group is all over confident and focused on other things since they just cleared the dungeon, and it's clear with andante that he noticed something was wrong but wouldn't clearly address it And then BAM hyoseop (who's worries have been exacerbated by the other guide and now proved and can't trust the half assed explanation he's always given) decides to just leave
I don't think it needs to be further dramaticized or dragged out
I HOPE THEY ALL REGRET IT ALL
I'M SO MAAADDD AHHH I NEED A DRINK TO CALM MYSELF DOWN. I'D ISEKAI INTO IT JUST TO BEAT THE SHIT OUT OF ALL OF THEM ISTG
LITERALLY I WAS FUMINGGGFG SO BADDD
