A flicker of astonishment crossed Arcueid's crimson eyes; it seemed she hadn't expected a human to ignore her [Mystic Eyes of Enchantment].
Immediately, a spark of curiosity flashed in Arcueid's eyes. She lifted her slender, elegant feet and slowly walked towards Elesia.
Noticing Arcueid's approach, Elesia instantly froze up. Even the most oblivious person, seeing Arcueid's previous actions, would understand that she was far from ordinary, and Elesia was certainly not foolish.
Realizing she was being targeted by the peerless beauty ahead—who seemed neither entirely human nor ghost—cold sweat trickled continuously down Elesia's face.
For some reason, Elesia felt an indescribable fear towards the girl before her, as if she were fish on a chopping block facing the chef—Elesia felt as though she could see countless visions of herself being obliterated by the girl's various attacks.
Overwhelming unease made Elesia subconsciously reach out, grasping Haru's hand beside her. Lacking a sense of security, she instinctively sought someone who could provide it, and Haru, who was more than a friend but not quite yet a lover, was naturally her best choice.
Feeling her sweaty, trembling palm grip his tightly, Haru naturally sensed Elesia's distress. His own somewhat rough hands covered her small one.
Sensing the warmth radiating from his palm, Elesia's trembling body slowly calmed, though the azure eyes looking at Arcueid still held fear.
Haru gently opened Elesia's palm and, after careful consideration, traced the word "Witch" onto it.
