"Aria!"
"Adrian, Euphemia!?"
My voice echoed through the chaotic scene as I called out to Aria.
Her eyes widened as we approached her, and I could sense a mixture of surprise and relief in her expression.
Seeing us here might have been an unexpected turn of events for her.
Despite my relief at finding her unharmed, there was a twinge of worry that lingered.
I couldn't shake the concern for Aria's safety when I had teleported her near the city square with Bella, a hot spot for monsters.
However, the organized efforts of the knights and academy faculty seemed to be keeping the area secure. It was evident that this location had become a focal point for various people, preparing for a grand celestial magic.
As we closed the distance, a sudden impact hit my chest – not a physical one, but the warm embrace of Aria.
It felt like my worries were instantly alleviated as she hugged me tightly.
