"I-I… can't I just come along with you? Can't you take me with you as well?" After some hesitation, Aily gathered her courage and put that question forward.
In response, a shine of amusement gleamed through Virus' eyes who patted her head before voicing, "Sorry, I can't do that… not yet at least."
Feeling even more dejected, tilting her head down, Aily threw another inquiry that felt more like a hope rather than a question. "Ah… of course you can't, I apologize for being such a nuisance. But, will I see you ever again?"
"Hahaha, did you forget what kind of person Blaze was? Even if it's just to keep up appearances and prevent others from suspecting my identity, I need to continue visiting the brothel, so definitely yes! Also, you're not a nuisance, okay? It's just I need to get used to my new identity and settle in for now. I may let you tag along with me later on, we'll see how it goes." Chuckling in return, Virus told her.
