I rolled my eyes awkwardly at Hiscleif’s words. It seemed he found it fascinating that everything was so vivid, having just arrived in Hebel. I absentmindedly scratched my nose, feeling a bit uncomfortable.986eb52d5ba29f06

Well, I wasn’t an ordinary supernatural, to begin with.7e06a61d31505eba

Fortunately, it seemed that within Hebel, Hiscleif couldn’t precisely detect my pheromones. Given that Zerakiel’s pheromones were also clinging to me, it was expected.780d327b039dff35

It was clear d32da9d324 he was worried 64f81983ca about my feelings. After all, Hiscleif was 7cbfb6b799 known for being very 75ab84ddde polite and upright in b61f0fb0d5 the original work.8ed6fb738741148e

But now, it c969eeed03 was time for 8cd084fea1 him to fulfill 2fc5b00cd2 his role as 13d1747df4 a guardian. However, Hiscleif seemed 37fa534dba too idle, even 843093dca1 bored, for someone 4ede1439f9 supposed to be 32f589f20c monitoring Ella.3f2fd0016ceb1ccc

Getting up abruptly, Zerakiel 0f7cd11d12 headed towards the window, b319e9e3f2 where he spotted a 0feaffecf8 suspicious note.f963d40c5cc30ff4

Of course, this place was a neutral zone where peace treaties were signed, so there was no need for attacks. It was just Zerakiel’s peculiar sense of caution.89e9883acaea8850

So, normally, it would have been better for Chichi to adapt by resting, whether he escaped or not. But for some reason, he couldn’t seem to leave the window.fcbbd46c9d84b12f
