Mrs. Joy's eyes opened and they gleamed. As she sat up, she saw Valentina looking at her.

A portal appeared beside her and a tall black horse emerged. Mrs. Joy placed her palm on her summon's neck with a soft smile.
"I have a summon."
Percival and Priscilla rushed in and embraced their mother.

Mrs. Joy mounted her horse, who galloped on clouds. It also manifested clouds beneath Priscilla and Valentina's feet, lifting them off the ground.
"I can't watch anymore, I'm going to join them!" Isaac declared as he leaped over the wall. Lucy giggled softly and yet followed him after glancing at Percival.
