Chapter 78: Bonding
"Alright, I'm going to go check on So-tan. See you around, Proxy-kun~" chimed Serafall, supplying a playful win before she disappeared, leaving Vahn alone in his room.
'She's fun...' thought Vahn, sporting a smile as he collapsed onto his bed with his arms splayed out to his sides, reflecting on his first meeting with the famed Leviathan.
