Since the battle was over, I called back the girls from the Kingdom.
Elizabeth made a report telling me that both girls had come to their senses, but I couldn't suppress my feelings. I wouldn't be satisfied until I saw them with my own eyes.
Their figures appeared in front of me almost immediately after I sent the request, in that moment, all the anxiety in my heart transformed into a bursting stream that I couldn't contain.
They tried to apologize, but...
Licia: "...Sorry Miwen, I wasn't expecting-"
Claire: "I should have burned them from the start-"
I ended up not allowing them to finish their sentences.
I couldn't care less about any of that.
The only thing in my mind was...
Miwen: "I'm glad you two are back."
Losing them even if for only a moment was a devastating blow to me.
