'Hmm, she told me that she would answer after we left the Bakurad Fortress.'
Regis thought to himself as he glanced at Aurelia behind him, who smiled in response.
At this moment, he seemed to have realized something important.
'Come to think of it, I really did hug her like it was nothing, right?'
It was only now that Regis realized the weight of his actions as it came crashing down on him.
He was too engrossed in the moment to the point that he was not able to think through his actions, as the thought of calming down Aurelia was his priority.
'Dahlia's gonna kill me.'
For reasons unknown to him, this thought surfaced in his mind.
They then spent the next, or rather, last two months of their journey in a relaxed phase.
Since the explosion in the Vistruk Swamp caused it to become a flattened wasteland, the terrain that was supposed to make their journey difficult was razed to the ground due to the rift's destruction.
