"Ella!" Max called out, feeling pleasantly surprised by her presence.
He was just thinking of ways to capitalize on the enlightenment he had achieved to break through to the next level.
Of course that also meant he had to create two new techniques but with how his life was still under threat from the organization, Max wasn't sure he had the time to waste.
Thus, he immediately thought about Ryuk's proposal.
He wasn't sure of the difficulty range but there was no way it would be worse than what he had experienced lately?... Right?
In any case, Ella's appearance convinced him that picking up Ryuk's proposal wouldn't be so bad.
He rushed to Ella, about to check on her condition when he noticed her expression.
It almost seemed like she were as she hung her head low and held onto a leaf.
Max furrowed his brows. "Ella… Is something wrong?"
"Papa," Ella said, shoving the leaf in her hand in Max's face.
The latter pulled back a little before taking it off her hand.
