"Are you planning to take part in the conflict between the two organizations?"

Ari asked worriedly as she watched Marie slaving away at her project The latter stayed busy operating on arrays while answering her

"Well… I don't want to But there's nothing I can do if there's an order fro any clue regarding that wretched Ronny"

Marie coer She and Ari had both come to realize that they had been played by Ronny into following him It was because of this pursuit that the Beast Bloods had couy had just disappeared from the face of this world after he had done what he did It was he whothe Beast Bloods weren't even sure what it was

Ari pursed her lips before co

"Yeah We shouldn't have followed hi exactly what he wanted us to do But that was in the past, Marie What's done is done

And I have an idea where we can get our new start"

Boom!

Boom!

"Hehe I had been planning to do just that ever since I heard that it was a Utopia created especially for potion makers I can tell Beast Bloods that Ronny's trail ends near the city of New Beginnings

We'd have a valid reason to visit the place after that We would also avoid all the problems There would be no need for us to participate in the conflict between two cultist organizations fighting it out

But what about your duties as the guardian of the city of Silvermoon?"

Marie walked near Ari as she said that She took Ari's test tube and began to play with it in the sa her

"Meh! I'll just quit Let those elf fogies sort out their business I can just say that I'll have to set off on an exploration"

It was decided that Marie and Arizihana would visit the Nightshade duchy and Minerva's Utopia in the future But at this point, they had s to do
