Zach went back to the guildhall to see Aurora consoling Aria.
"..." Zach watched them from a distance and raised his brows.
'Why do I have a bad feeling about this?'
Zach approached Aurora and Aria from behind and heard Aurora saying, 'I will talk to him.'
"Oh?" Zach furrowed his brows and asked, "What are you going to talk about and with whom?"
Aria's face turned pale after seeing Zach, but Aurora's face cheered up.
"How long have you been standing there?" Aurora asked.
"Since the beginning," Zach replied.
Of course, it was a lie, and he made it obvious by averting his gaze.
"I completed my quest," Aurora informed.
"Yes. I got your message." Zach turned to Aria and asked, "But it seems someone didn't."
"I-I can explain," Aria replied while stuttering on her words.
"Yes, start explaining," Zach uttered with a frowned face.
Aurora came in between Zach and Aria and spread her arms.
