On the opposite mountain path, which seemed to lead from Count Dorclife's territory, the Heroâs Party appeared at the summitâand immediately locked eyes with us.
While Gepmazoshegigat, Cerista, and Seraphina looked unsurprised as if they had anticipated this meeting, Agnes and Natalie stared at me with confusion, clearly wondering what I was doing there.
âHaah... Lilith...? What are you doing here?â Agnes panted, bewildered.@@novelbin@@
âThatâs what Iâd like to ask, Agnes. And seeing the Hero, the Saintess, and Princess Seraphina here... this feels like...â
â...Probably what you think it is,â Cerista replied calmly.
...Come to think of it, the full moon had just passed recently.
Which meant Seraphina, with her future sight, had likely foreseen this encounter and told the Hero and Saintess about it. However, it seemed she hadnât shared this with everyone else, leaving Agnes and others to be startled by my presence here.
âEthan,â I called.
âYes, Lilith.â
Whoooosh!
BOOOM!
THUD!
Soft snore.
