Chapter 168.1

“…I didn’t know that was possible. I guess I’ll have to call her an idiot disciple as well… I’m sorry, young lady. She caused you trouble.”
“No, Aria has saved me many times. But I didn’t know that Aria’s magic teacher was a Dark Elf.
In the desert, lit only by starlight after the sun had set, Celeshura and Elena, sitting around a campfire, bowed their heads to each other as they finished talking about what had happened so far.
“…”
Ron seemed somewhat unsettled at the mention of Celeshura’s name, and continued to repair the balloon as if to distract himself. He had no intention of telling anyone about the name, but the name still had a great impact on him.
The two toddlers who had been frightened by the Coeurl, Nero, were now sleeping in Chaco’s lap. Among them was Noi, also a Dark Elf, who was being spoiled by the gentle-looking adult Dark Elf, a rare sight in town, while Celeshura was patting him on the head.
Although Nero was now cooperating with Celeshura, he was basically uninterested in anyone but Aria, glaring at the monsters from some distance because Aria would not appreciate anyone she protected getting hurt.
“I left the country right away as well, so… I’m sorry, I don’t know what’s going on in the country.”
“No, I’m glad to hear that you are moving to help Aria. So, what are you going to do now, Master Celeshura?”
“Well… before we get into that, can you tell me what you are planning to do?”
Celeshura looked straight into Elena’s eyes.
Strong eyes, Celeshura thought. She immediately recognized that this was the girl Aria was trying to protect, and she could understand why her unsociable and clumsy protégée was willing to risk her life to protect her.
