Chapter 81
"Marika is nowhere to be seen... Could she have been kidnapped by the Order?!"
As Marika's whereabouts became mysterious, Aris couldn't hide her dismay as she frantically looked around for her unseen friend.
"Calm down, Aris, although Marika isn't here, it's not certain that she's been captured by them, so try to relax."
She tried to present the most positive outlook to somewhat calm her increasingly distracted friend.
"But Harold...! What if, by one chance in a thousand, she really has been taken by them...?"
I couldn't give Aris a clear answer to her question and ultimately fell silent.
Honestly, her worry was perhaps natural; given Marika's capabilities, the likelihood of her being chosen as a sacrifice was very high.
She had been kidnapped once before, and it was only thanks to a mysterious phenomenon that we were able to help her. If not for that, a terrible disaster could have occurred.
What were those memories that surfaced at that time...?
