Chapter 146.2
The Cruzian boy, exhausted, intervened between us, as I wondered if they were able to take care of the remaining insects. I see this situation to activate my thread manipulation skill to break free from the chains, and as I move away from them, a grim-faced Elena lined up next to me.
“What are you doing?”
Elena let out an angry voice. Her whole body was filled with magic power, as if she was about to release Magic, and her golden hair, which gently surged as if charged, stood on end.
The Cruzian boy raised his hand to stop Camille, who was alarmed by Elena’s appearance and was about to step forward.
“Could you stop and wait for a bit? This is not their fault. We were saved because of them.”
“We didn’t wish for it.”
“Seriously, you… Ah, I’m sorry about my buddy here, Mercenian ladies.”
“…”
Elena, who had been hiding her face from the friendly Cruz boy’s words, realizes that her hood has been removed, and she quickly reaches for it. But Elena stopped her hand and chose to face him, glaring at him with her bare face.
…Elena noticed it too. For a moment, he looked at her sharply, as if he was trying to gauge her value.
“I’m sorry, but… are you sure you’re the right person to be negotiating with? May I ask your name?”
“You ask a woman’s name, but you don’t give your name first?”
