"That's…bold," Jigak said after a minute of stunned silence after Yanael finished. He crossed his arms as he looked at the three maid familiars and Zach. The young summoner had come a long way in three years, much longer than Jigak would have expected when he first saw Zach back then.
"But it will be difficult with him like that." Jigak pointed at Zach. He was still stone and showed no signs of doing anything about it.
The maids looked at Zach. Yanael met Jigak's gaze.
"You asked us if we trust him. We do. As such, there is no reason to cancel the plan. Master will break free before it is too late," Yanael said with conviction.
"I see." Jigak nodded. It would still be difficult—impossible, in fact. Unless…
"I'll help you as much as I can," he eventually said.
Yanael's eyes widened. While she hadn't thought he would go against them, especially after he listened to them to the end, she did not think he would help them.
