Chapter 46
The slight turn of the leaf hout this all, you’ll inevitably still need to ask for help froetic about, nor is it soh it was a matter of course, these words fell atop Cassion’s shoulders and cal to work you to the bone just so you can be strong So, stop being sorry There’s plenty of time to cry bitter tears later”
At the playfully added words, Rosetta grinned
The wind blew by just in ti
Beneath that veil and behind her cascading silver hair, he could see a part of her nose and one corner of her lips turned up to a curve
Then, he saw her golden eyes
“Ah”
With an unidentified feeling dawning upon hilad to see her
He hadn’t been able to see those golden eyes for the last day—no, not even half a day had since passed
It’s weird He was so glad to see her eyes again that his heart started beating oddly
Really What a peculiar thing
He couldn’t believe that he startedher when he just hadn’t been able to see her face for just about half a day And he was so relieved now, too
More than that, hadn’t she been beside hi to him all this time, too?
Really Did it lad to see her face?
He realized that this was really, truly so uncharacteristic of him
All his life, he had always been alone, and so it was natural that he had gotten used to loneliness
Instead of that, when the hell did it become natural for him to stay beside this woman?
“Okay Go ahead and workEven o hard and work me to the bone I won’t feel sorry”
His voice was calm and solemn Each syllable he uttered was so sincere that his intention could be conveyed with such clarity towards the other person
“I won’t feel apologetic, not one bit”
As he added this, Rosetta blinked
Somehow, this made her feel weird It’s like she heard a confession just now
Even though it wasn’t about so like that at all
“Uh… Sure Fine I’ll work you to the bone”
Hearing Rosetta’s answer, Cassion nodded firmly
Then, a moment of silence stretched between them
Rosetta continued to absentertips, then she soon turned it towards the direction where the attacker had fled
And a sudden thought dawned upon her—it was a face to face at an alley like this
If not that, perhaps it’s because this brief silence was strangely burdenso while since any silence ever became burdensome Rather, it felt unfas felt ticklish, too
“Co this in a hurry, Rosetta walked out through the exit first Cassion quickly caught up with her
“Are we going back?”
“Yeah Ah, before that, there’s somewhere we need to stop by”
“Where? No, wait, can we just let theht”
“What if they coain? Don’t you think it’s better to capture that person nohile there’s only one of them?”
At Cassion’s question, Rosetta shook her head
“Don’t worry Even if we let theain”
“What?”
“No o, we’ll bump into them sooner or later So let’s hurry up and leave We have to be there first and wait for the other person”
Rosetta shrugged while saying so cryptic
She was much too relaxed for soo
Actually, even when she spoke so ae tickle was still there
As Cassion glanced at her with a puzzled expression, he inevitably shrugged like Rosetta and didn’t question it further
Strangely enough, people’s emotions were infectious If you look at what just happened objectively, they were in a rather urgent situation, but…
Seeing Rosetta be so co to feel ht?”
“Yes”
Cassion nodded in response to Rosetta’s cheery question
Despite cohter on their feet
Truly, what a strange turn of events
Meanwhile, at around the saht on their feet, the retreating attacker’s steps were not at all light
“Huuk… huk…”
It felt like their legs were about to burst fro They were so out of breath that it felt like they were going to lose consciousness any moment now
Nevertheless, Harron could not stop
That fear remained clamped over their heart
‘She won’t chase afternonstop for al back alleys behind theot a chance to catch their breath
Huuk, huk…
The heaving gasps that scratched at their throat were hot
Sweat poured down from them like rain There was no place on their body that didn’t hurt
As Harron rubbed their wrists and ankles, they thought
‘Ah, I couldn’t complete the commission in the end’
