It was a silent journey, nobody was in the mood to chatter. Emilia especially tried to avoid me as much as she could. The news had certainly hit her hard, she also seemed to have cried herself to sleep for a couple nights. I hate to admit, but I got to be the one who takes care of the group and not let my emotions overwhelm myself. I might need another talk with Emilia. But for now the focus is getting home safely. Not losing someone else…
Even after a couple days of travelling Mr. Black was still out, but at least alive. The couple bandits we came across were swiftly taking care of and so we arrived back at the hybrid school in record time. We didn't take any pit stops in villages and only went into some to sell a couple of the celestial crystals. As a blessing in disguise Yoru had put the bag with all our loot into the carriage once we came out of the dungeon. Without it we would come home empty handed.
