"Zoemi, did it not work? Or is the pain from using magic getting worse? Why are you making a face like that...?"
The black-haired boy's eyes widened and his face became pale like a ghost's, causing the dark-haired girl to ask him in a worried voice.
"...it worked, the curse that blocked off the Perserios territory is gone. I can sense my sentinels in the outside world..."
Zoemi uttered, sounding as if he had something stuck in his throat.
"That's a good thing, right...?"
The two girls exchanged worried looks and Burushi ended up asking cautiously.
"It... is... but, my sentinels... there is barely a handful left..."
The black-haired boy gulped down his saliva and answered without looking back at the blond-haired girl.
"Wh... a what left...? Didn't you have thousands of them?!"
