After the agreement made with the Hólis, Kaito decided to ask more about the Crimson Castle, after all, not all his questions about this place had been answered by the former owner, nor was the information in his task book enough.
During this conversation, Alex gradually got used to the presence of the Holis. At first, he was apprehensive, but as the little beings proved not to be aggressive, his nervousness turned to fascination. Meliora, with her melodious voice and simple smile, had a comforting way of speaking and seemed very wise, which helped Alex.
When the Hólis finally set off on their journey back to the lower islands, leaving only Meliora behind so that she could guide those who would help with the problem on the lower islands, Kaito turned to Alex and said:
"You seem more relaxed now."
"It's hard to stay nervous when you're surrounded by a bunch of cute, friendly little creatures," Alex replied with a smile.
