"L-Let's finish practise for today... I have some business to finish with Alice." Velvet's words felt like a hammer to Asmodeus who was filled with guilt towards injuring Velvet. However, before he could even move, she already vanished, using her magic to increase her speed.
'W-Why?!'
Asmodeus felt confused—the changes in Velvet were visible, but suddenly, during their duel, her magic became unstable. She even let him strike her with a move she would normally counter easily with her eyes closed.
"Is there something wrong with her? Maybe I shouldn't tease her so much anymore..."
He felt genuinely down after Velvet rushed away, so he slowly began to tidy the training ground and got something light to eat and maybe head into the city.
It was quite a rare feeling, but for once, he wanted to be alone, so he didn't ask anyone to come with and after eating a small snack from the mistress, he headed into Baltimore alone.
