"Ed!!!" Ana's small body jumped on the very muscular person in front of her.
His tan skin and hulking body made him appear to be way older than his age, but he was only fifteen years old.
"It's been a while, Ana."
Edward, even with his hardened look, gave a soft smile as he returned the embrace of his dear friend.
Though, since her body was quite small in his grasp, and she seemed so fragile that he could snap her like a twig, Edward maintained caution.
"I've missed you! You missed out on a lot of action!"
It was currently twelve days since the end of the war, and a lot had happened since then. It was crazy how Edward wasn't present in any of them.
"I had a little errand to run for Jared. Is he around?"
Both of them were currently within Ainzlark Academy's grounds.
While Ana was wearing her usual lab coat, shirt, and skirt, Edward donned a simple traveler's cloak.
He had nice trousers, and his boots looked sturdy too.
