Inside a laboratory filled with the latest and most advanced alchemical equipment —second only to the Association's main lab, which used gnome-crafted custom tools— Gara carefully plucked a single petal from the One-Night flower.
"Moments like this are rare. I should make the most of it," he murmured to himself.
As Ambar had promised, she allowed Gara to take a break from lab duties after the Class S Duel. Langga had also granted him a week off, insisting he use it to rest.
"Huff… I really do want to rest. But this flower's been waiting for me," he sighed, though his bright, focused eyes betrayed how much he actually enjoyed this.
Behind his laid-back demeanor, Gara had always loved research sessions like this. He spent the entire day in his private lab inside his dimensional home.
By the time he stepped out, the lights in the main room were already off. Not wanting to wake anyone, he didn't bother turning on the Fire Lightbulb.
