Chapter 97 (2/2)

As we glide through the sky I ns of o

However, even after waiting for a few , the sun began to rise from behind the horizon, and we could see the ht

No, that's not it

The mountains, so characteristic and massive, were nowhere to be seen

The mountains, trees, animals, monsters, spirits, even the leylines that were located at the epicenter of the white fog were now gone forever

The only thing that was still standing was the dungeon itself, a harrowing monument of the events that transpired here

It was a saddening sight, but at least the white fog was gone

「It's over, huh?」

「Yeah It was incredibly hard to accomplish, but it looks like it is finally over」

I answer to Nectar's concerned voice, at the sa relieved

I bow my head and look at Nectar, and Nectar looks at me

Fro exactly the sa I was

I turned into htly by Nectar

His staff falls to the ground as I hug hiht

However, his ar, I thought I was going to lose it」

「Sorry」

「We have Aru, and he needs both of us Don't ever forget about that」

Even in a situation like that, Nectar was still thinking about Aru

But I understand well enough where Nectar was coize over and over again

「Yeah, I'm so sorry -- But I felt the sa」

「It only touched me for a moment, but at that moment I was overcome with fear like I have never felt before in my life」

I rely before his expression softens

That fog, I wonder hoould it react to so so and feeling Nectar's body te from Nectar's neck Then, Nectar looked as if he suddenly reave to Nectar It was rather se cracks and looked about ready to fall apart in my hands

It was infused with a spell that was to prevent the wearer fro fatal wounds once

When Nectar beca its effect even further

The fact that it shattered to pieces was enough of a proof to me that my barrier didn'thoas feeling at the :

「I' anywhere」

「…… Yeah, I know」

That white fog, the thing that Lute's group called ”Eclipse”…… I wonder what do they know about it?

There are a lot of things that I needed to think about

But, for now:

「I'lad that you are okay」

The three of us: Nectar, Aru and I, we can still be together

That fact was h to aze into each other's eyes, our lips were naturally draards one another

「Lava! Is it finally over!? What about the white urila's voice echoed inside of our heads and we immediately jumped back from one another

It was so sudden that we alround

G-God das finally started to get good!

I turn away frourila's questions

「all of the white fog was expelled into another dih indeed All of the one, thanks to Senjiro and I Thunderstor that can be repaired from the destroyed leylines」

「Thanks a bunch And sorry」

Looking down at the town there really weren't any one as well Just this once, silence was in fact a good o care of the leylines, sothat we could do about the the ones that were forcibly closed up running again

I found it a little aard at first, but even Ligurila seeetic than usual

「So by all ht ahead and finish what you were about to do Don't e to cause so, wasn't she!?

I greings and separated from Nectar, an action for which he looked truly disappointed for some reason

「I could have carried you, you know……」

「I would die of shame if others saw me like that in your ar seen at all!」

「Well excuse you, but I do h, just what the hell are you saying!?

B-but I must say, I would feel rather lonely without Nectar by e hier

「Nectar」

As Nectar turned towards me, I approached hih it felt a little bit forced, I still think it was quite good

Seeing how Nectar's face turned slightly red, I grinned at him mischievously

「I want to see Aru」

「…… Yeah, let's go back ho that, we held each other's hands and basked in the bright light of the an our descent towards the place where Ligurila and others were already waiting for us
