125. Wildfire

Ah! We're finally back to Bifrost!

We can finally get a break now, right? Recently, one big thing just happened after another. So exhausting!

How can you say that? We finally found the relic we've been looking for all this time, the one that may be capable of ''material decomposition''!

Alright, fine. Honestly, I can't even make a joke. Sova, you're too serious.

You won't find your ideal lover if you keep being so rigid.

Wh...!? It has nothing to do with that, alright?

Hm... Who knows? What do you think, Awakener?

Huh...? Why do you ask me? Sova's so pretty, any minute a lover may just...

?! P-pretty...?

Hahaha! Look at you, Sova, you're blushing!

... Enough. End of topic. Let's keep moving.

By the way, I was so worried about failing this time! Not only did we have to run around places, but we also fought with many people and monsters.

Also fell into many traps.

I'll never forget that hidden door...!

Do you think Nevka told me to sit there because he knew it was the trigger...? If that's the case, I'll have to teach him a lesson next time!

Haha! Of course not.

But thanks to the trigger, we were able to find the Relic, so we can't deny that he helped us a lot in the ruins.

He's a hard nut to crack, but he really is quite amazing. It's just that he's too over-enthusiastic.

Indeed. Thanks to him, we stumbled upon this Relic by accident.

Although it wasn't straightforward, I'm still glad that we managed to complete the job.

Hehe, as long as you're happy, Awakener. Then there's finally hope for saving Rayna.

When we get back, let's ask the Lieutenant to examine this relic straight away. We still have other things to do...

But it won't hurt to take one or two days off, right?

No way. It'd be terrible if something happens to Rayna while we rest. We have no time to waste.

Right, Awakener?

Hahaha. That's right.

(Good point. Perhaps we finally have a chance to save Rayna. We've made a lot of progress. I should be really happy...)

(But why do I... have a bad feeling about this?)

We're almost back at Teslovik! How's everyone doing?

Nothing will have changed in such a short time, okay?

By the way... how are things going with us ignoring orders in the Eastrise? I hope Fenriru is safe...

Well, she hasn't contacted us after that, so I assume it should be going pretty well. Anyway, let's report back when we arrive, then...

No way... What's that...?!

How can this be... Teslovik...

Why?? How did it turn out like this?!

I don't believe this... Guys...!
