Anna was leaning on the tree while watching Noel swinging his sword. This somehow became her night routine, considering Noel only rested his body according to the schedule, not because he was sleepy.
Noel would keep swinging his sword every night during their journey. She even wondered if he was possessed by the sword.
'Still, I can understand how Noel can keep up with me. Well, there will be many problems in the near future. I don't even know how much my actions influence the future. Like the case about the bandits with the demons, I'm pretty sure that there's going to be some reaction from the Supreme Devil Organization. I have to get stronger as quickly as possible… I don't know why but the stronger I become, the faster Noel's growth is. It's as if he can keep up with me the whole time.'
Anna was watching Noel with a nostalgic gaze as if she had known him for a long time.
