Before she could finish speaking, Hodgson burst into the Wizard Tower, followed by a series of disordered noises.
Nancy's expression changed drastically. "No!" she cried, rushing in. "Don't touch the tutor's things! That thing... no! Put it down! OUCH!"
Nancy, her tone panicked, couldn't stop Hodgson from scavenging. He even had a rare storage space item in his hand. As she watched one Demonized Item after another vanish, she had no choice but to rush up and struggle fiercely with him.
"My dear," Hodgson said, his tone sincere. "Can't you help me one last time? If I succeed this time, I will never forget you. Nancy, my beloved!"
Nancy froze.
Seeing Hodgson's sweaty forehead and his face marked with terror, a wave of tenderness surged in her heart again. Noticing her loosening grip, Hodgson couldn't help but rejoice and continued to stuff items into his space pendant.
"Wait a minute!" Nancy exclaimed.
