"Is it working?" Marko took a step forward, looking at the pillar of light with tense facial muscles. Vilja is still in that thing and can't be seen at all. "Or should we help her?"
"I think she made it." Kimi walked over to Marko, making the red-haired warrior gasp. "Soon, she will get that power."
Marko suddenly hugged the woman's tiny body. Kimi, who was always almost expressionless, widened her eyes.
"Thank goodness you're okay." The red-haired man said in a low tone. "We're all worried about you, you know?"
"A-aren't you mad at me for leaving you and the others?" Kimi's voice started to get hoarse.
Marko let go of his arms, looked at Kimi with a smile, and shook his head. "Of course not, this mission is very tough, and from the start, no one forced you to come…. I sometimes complain that our party is getting smaller, but it's more because I feel lost and worried about you disappearing."
