Chapter 224: Speak Your Mind
“Sister Avira,” Sephirena called out. “I’m back.”
“Mm.” Avira seemed calm, but Sephirena noticed that the fingertips of the hand she had placed on her thigh were trembling slightly, indicating that her heart was not as calm as it appeared.
Avira looked at the Sephirena before her, feeling a sense of unfamiliarity, unsure of how to take the initiative to speak.
She didn’t know how to face Sephirena, with what kind of expression, with what kind of words.
“And Sister Tarashil, I’ve come back to see you too. It’s really been a long time since I’ve been back,” Sephirena said.
“...” Avira didn’t know how to begin.
“Weren’t you the one who told me to wait for you here, Sister Avira? What’s wrong? You have nothing to say now that we’ve met?” Sephirena asked.
“Have you... been well lately?” After thinking for a long time, this was all Avira could say.
This made Sephirena laugh out loud. “Sister Avira, why do you seem even more stiff than I am? I’m still the same as before. No, that’s not right. Compared to before, there are probably some differences. I’ve changed a little. But, Sister Avira, you can just treat me the same as before,” Sephirena said with a smile.
“During this time, I’ve thought a lot, and I’ve considered a lot. Of course, I also received help from a very strange human. It is precisely because of her that I was able to overcome some things and return to the Elf Forest.”
“That strange human is?”
Sephirena shook her head. “I’m sorry, Sister Avira. I made a promise to her that I would keep it a secret.”
