Belle took a deep breath as the cheering continued and the quadruplets remained in their poses, though their faces betrayed concern.
The roar of the crowd continued beautifully, yet her stomach twisted; She was really tired of it all.
'So I have to run all the way back?' She stared at the distant mansion.
The performance venue was far… far enough that even she, with all her stamina, would need multiple breaks to cover. She had already burned enough energy trying to make her way here after all.
'I'm fucked.'
The crowd still clapped. She still stood near the center with the quadruplets, frozen in a triumphant pose as more flowers rained down though they looked concerned.
Suddenly, a blur descended from the sky.
Before she could react, someone scooped her clean off the ground and soared upward.
"H-hey, let go!" Bella flailed desperately, kicking her feet until she managed a glance at the face holding her.
Her hands fell limp.
