"Master…"
Aezel tightened her embrace. She felt bitter that he prioritized her safety over his own.
"I won't go anywhere dangerous without you girls again," Lawrend said.
Even as a man, it was hard for him to get over the fact that he almost lost everything. This life was a chance given to him by a goddess. If he died back there, everything would have been wasted.
"Were you scared, Master?" Aezel asked softly.
"Mm. I didn't want to die and lose everyone…"
"That makes me happy…" Aezel murmured with a serene smile on her face.
"Huh?"
"It's proof that you love us, Master. It's okay if you feel scared. You don't have to worry anymore," Aezel said as she rubbed his back.
"Aezel…"
Lawrend felt a sense of relief after hearing her words. He had a worry at the back of his mind that they would start to look down at him after seeing his pathetic appearance right now.
"Right, everyone?" Aezel turned to the others.
