However, before getting myself busy in that, I turned to face the two demons in my balloon, sitting together like close fiery lovers; what a scene to behold among all this mess and stress.
"How are you feeling now?" I asked, as I turned to face them, while keeping my shield held in between my hands.
"I'm feeling better. Still weak, but not dying at least," she said, before adding with a sincere tone, "I'm very grateful to all you did to me, really appreciate this."
"Don't mention it, after all it was my mistake for not taking care of you after killing that monster."
"It's a really hard to deal with monster, very tricky and very deadly. It's really lucky for you to be able to resist its weird ability, and also kill it," she said, while sighing in a tired tone.
