Elisa's sleepy eyes slowly opened.
'Mmm...'
She was still on Mark's back.
The rocking seemed to have lessened.
Elisa thought it was due to him being considerate.
A considerate Monster.
'You just keep going, huh? Just keep... Walking forward.'
Had it been hours since Elisa had closed her eyes, or only a couple of minutes? She could not tell.
'Whenever we stop, it's because of me or Krista...' Elisa pressed her lips together. 'The same way you advanced through that Dungeon, right? Without sleeping, only resting here and there...'
Her gaze moved towards his round shoulders.
Elisa brought her hands to her forehead.
She hid her eyes from the shining sun while keeping them half closed.
'The sun is...'
Elisa hid both her eyes with her left hand, while her right hand turned into a fist and descended on the Monster's shoulder.
"What is it?"
"Your scales..." Elisa muttered.
