Chapter 75: Better
As Elian and Bianca stepped through the Flame Swallow Dungeon, he noticed she was skipping. Ever since they met Fluffy, Bastion and Silent, Bianca has been in a really good mood.
Elian’s mind began to wander, wondering what their life might have been like if they didn’t go to the Snow Wolf dungeon. It was only because they ran into Sera and the Beacon party that they did. He saved them on a whim, yet Bianca’s joy now was a direct result.

Who would’ve thought the ice-cold angel he met in the Ant Dungeon would smile like this? Knowing he helped cause it... that felt rewarding.
"It feels so nice to have people worry about you," Bianca murmured.
Elian nodded, "Agreed. Get used to it, the days you can just go on your own have ended. Now Fluffy, Mother-in-law, Father-in-law and I will always fuss about your wellbeing. Be sure to behave yourself now, oh Witch of the Frozen Night."
"Is that so? Right, I should consider this my new norm now, huh?"
"Yep. You won’t get rid of us that easily."
Elian then felt the hand grasping his tighten. He also noticed Bianca rest her head on his armor.
"Elian."
"Bianca?"
