"What are you doing out here?" Naoki inquired with his hands crossed behind his back.
From quite some distance away, he felt Haruka's distress and quickly returned.
Now seeing her standing outside in the night cold, he worried for what must have bothered her to this extent.
If he hadn't felt her distress, he would have thought she missed him hence the reason she was standing outside in the cold.
"Y-You are back?" Haruka mumbled to herself as her heart came to s standstill.
On the other hand, Prophetess Aya who was in Naoki's castle, suddenly lost her appetite. Just like Haruka, she was distressed about something, but she was a bit different since she seemed to know more than her.
"Looks like the pace is getting faster." She said to herself while staring into the distance.
