Thinking of this, Xiya's lips curled into a faint smile.
...
Why, why is Brother Xiya here, too?!
Among the crowd, Tiya, who was alone in a corner, felt somewhat panicked.
She had thought that Brother Xiya, finally on leave, would catch up with those teammates, and at least he shouldn't appear at such an occasion.
So, when she saw an unexpected person, she subconsciously felt a bit like a thief caught in the act.
Luckily, Tiya was now in disguise, looking like a petite girl with brown short hair, wearing a fox mask that covered her entire face, and dressed in a gorgeous dance gown she had never tried before.
Compared to her usual appearance as the Silent Saintess, the current Tiya looked dazzling and delicate, seemingly a different person.
After calming her initial panic, she then saw Hillena, her cheeks flushed, holding Brother Xiya's hand.
Although it was a brief touch, Xiya seemed lost in thought for a moment, then a fleeting look of admiration appeared in his eyes.
