”Phew. That's close.” Shin Ha sighed.

Both of the men took Richard to the infirmary. When they were walking, they run into Scarlet.

”Hey, Edward isn't here. He was there earlier, but now he wasn't.” Scarlet's sudden voice startled Shin Ha, who slightly forgot about her.

”I didn't realize you had gone to look for Edward.” teased Shin Ha.

”You did not answer my question.”

”Edward should be back where he was half an hour ago.”

”Ah, right. I think Edward was in the sun building and walked towards our club's room. Then I'll wait for him there. Is he okay?”

”It seems like he spent a lot of energy just to be able to hold on in the frozen time.” Shin Ha answered.

”With a short break, he will be fine. He is the fire Elementalist,” added Kazuto.

”Alright, then. I leave him to you guys.”

After making sure Scarlet was far from them, Shin Ha spoke in an exaggerated voice.

”Just because she's the only woman, she acts like our leader.”

”Not only that. Just because she's the youngest, we always yield to her.”

”Ah, that's right.”

Both men chuckled each other.
