"What do we do now?"
"What should we do?"
"I want to go inside and sit down so badly right now!"
"I've been stuck at the eighth thunder tide for nearly a hundred years. I've never dared to challenge the final ninth tide... but now, a chance to ascend to the Ascended Rank is right in front of me. If only I were part of this fortress!"
After the shock wore off, Gallio stared longingly at the resplendent golden Astral Aurum hut not far away, his eyes full of burning desire.
Just once!
Just one time!
If he could stay in that little hut just once, it would be enough.
"Lord Gallio, ever since I joined the Holy Fortress of the Uno Kingdom, you've been my guardian, always standing by my side."
"Don't worry. Once we meet Lord Velen, I'll try to ask him to grant you a chance to enter the hut."
"But whether he agrees or not, I cannot promise. After all, my relationship with Lord Velen stems from a single transaction."
