Chapter 36: Mine
Sera quickly separated from Elian and turned around. She stole a glance at his reaction. Elian, who saw her antics, could only smile wryly. Meanwhile, the air behind Elian grew even colder. So much so that a frost-covered silhouette began to form.
"How dare she..."
Satisfied with the moment, Elian raised his sword, letting a loud wong echo out. He then faced his master and reassured her.
Unlike Elian, who could interact with the world, his master only had him. And while most people would find such a dependency suffocating, the boy didn't.
After all, if she suddenly had another servant, I'd feel exactly the same way.
"Bianca, please do not worry. I am yours. I am doing this to help her and get you some cores and maybe a pet, too. After that, we'll separate. She means nothing to me—please bear with it for now. Trust me." Elian declared without flinching.
The frost ghost looked at Elian before nodding. As the surroundings began to grow warmer, the ice particles tracing Bianca's form melted and disappeared.
Good, although she was fast, the melted ice still produced some water. The sand and heat should take care of that, but you can never be too careful.

She was sitting in the rear part of the jeep, Charlie lounged beside her. Elian approached and marveled at the sand-colored jeep. It was standard equipment for breakers and the boy always dreamed of owning one.
But did they always look this small? Would I even fit?
