She’d grown terrifyingly strong. Her health points remained low, almost as if cursed, but her aether now surpassed even Samantha’s and Cere’zhula’s. What brutal battles had she endured to gain such power? She’d likely thrown herself into extreme fights all on her own. If Karla and I were ever to face each other in battle, it would undoubtedly turn into a life-or-death struggle, dragging everyone around us into it.

Dinner was served as a standing banquet. While some of the expedition members had brought along associates, this evening was limited only to the actual participants due to the covert nature of the mission. Since the majority of the participants was under twelve, which was considered the age at which children entered adult society, the younger ones like Karla and Elena finished eating early and retired to their cabins.

As an adventurer, I wasn’t bound by such rules. But, since Viro became a hopeless drunk once he got enough booze in his system, I retired early as well. I decided to go up to the deck and enjoy the night breeze.

The cool wind brushed against my skin. The deck was peaceful. Monsters did appear even at sea, but the ship was still docked in the harbor and the crew was making use of monster-repelling incense, so there was no danger in stepping out here. Still, Elena and the others with their guards wouldn’t come out here at this hour.

I’d come here for two reasons. One, to stay on alert for human attackers. Two, because I had a feeling.

“I knew you’d come, Alia.”

“No one would worry about you being out here alone, huh, Karla?”

This was the dangerous girl I’d met two years ago. Her appearance and mental state had already been precarious then, and now that she’d matured, they had only gotten worse. Perhaps it was her weak constitution, or perhaps the madness that consumed her—either way, her pursuit of her goals was single-minded. There was a certain beauty to that, even if nobody understood her.

Karla approached me slowly, not bothering to conceal her overwhelming aether. With a smile, she reached out a hand and lightly scratched my cheek with a sharp black nail, leaving a thin red line. In return, I gripped her thin neck with one hand, my fingers digging into her pale throat.

“You want to fight to the death here?” I asked.

“No. This is not a worthy stage for our showdown,” she replied.

I released my grip on her throat, and she used a handkerchief to wipe the blood from my cheek before casting Restore to erase the wound.

“You look beautiful when you bleed, Alia. I want to taint you with the blood pouring from my heart one day.”

“Leave me out of your death wish.”

“It would be a tragedy if you weren’t the one to kill me.”

Karla clutched the bloodstained handkerchief to her chest as though it were precious. We walked to the edge of the deck and leaned against the railing side by side.
