Chapter 346: Party 3.5
"I see… Well then, if you ever need guidance or advice regarding the sword, you can always call on me," I said casually.
Vanessa returned a polite smile. "We'll keep that in mind, Senior."
"Alright, then. I'd better get going." I gave them a small wave before turning to walk past them.
Just as I stepped forward, Emilia suddenly reached out, her hand trembling slightly.
"A-Ah, w-wait, Senior! C-Can I hold your hand for a bit? There's something I'd like to confirm—"
Vanessa swiftly interjected. "Enna, we're running out of time. Remember, the principal only gave us a few hours to investigate, right?"
"B-But…!"
"No buts."
Vanessa tightened her grip on Emilia's wrist, gently but firmly pulling her away.
The young saintess stumbled slightly as she was dragged along, her blueeyes glistening with unshed tears.
She looked back at me with a pitiful expression, as if silently begging for me to rescue her from Vanessa's grasp.
I could only smile gently at her, raising a hand in a small wave of farewell.
And just like that—she cried.
Even as Vanessa pulled her away, Emilia kept turning back, her gaze filled with lingering hesitation and curiosity.
But in the end, she allowed herself to be led away, disappearing down the hallway with her escort.
I exhaled lightly, my thoughts drifting to whatever it was Emilia had wanted to "confirm." Something about my mana, most likely.
It's a shame I can't let her meet Lucas right now…
What do you think?
