Olivia murmured softly, "Someone will walk alongside you."
...
Amidst the snow and wind, everything about Olivia was drained dry by the fully expended incubus tail.
After a long while, Kael suddenly said softly, "Alubi, can you hold on?"
"I can, Master."
"Open the Foundation World..."
"Master, the chances are very low."
"Even if there's just a slight chance... I don't like tears."
"Understood, Master, but even if successful, the next meeting will be a long time in the future."
"Hmm, in the future..."
...
In the wind and snow, Kael picked up Elanna, who was no longer polluted by alchemy, and walked towards the distance.
...
When Kael returned to his territory, it was already five days later.
Elanna seemed to have developed a persistent high fever for some reason along the way. The spells Kael used were of no avail, only allowing him to sense a terrifying curse power continually emerging within her body.
It was night.
