"Lord Gallio, let's just go!"
"This fortress of Lord Velen… it's driving me insane! I can't take it anymore!"
At that moment, Kayn finally snapped. If they stayed any longer, he felt like he'd lose his mind completely.
"I can't hold on either…"
Hearing Kayn's plea, Gallio felt the same urge rising in his chest.
He was just about to ask Apollo if they could leave temporarily when—
A sweet little girl, happily chewing on candy, came skipping toward them from the distance.
The moment the girl appeared, Gallio noticed something strange.
Apollo—who had been unfazed by rabbits doing swordplay and spellbeasts riding forges—was now trembling from head to toe, like a leaf in a storm.
What the heck?
It's just a cute little girl!
Why the hell are you shaking like a leaf?
"Take them over there," the girl said in a soft voice. "Big Sis has finished meditating."
With that, she turned and skipped away, disappearing around the back of the fortress.
Whew...
