Chapter 367: Lilixira
367 – Lilixira
Saint Lilixira nimbly hops between branches as she strolls towards me. As expected of one with a status far above ordinary people, her jumps are made with light movements, heedless of danger.
I reflexively lower my back and take on a cautious stance.
“Guau…”
My partner growls in warning. Matching her, Aro and the nightmare step forwards. Treant-san tensely stands up straight behind me, trying to blend into the scenery… Isn’t that wrong way round though?
The armoured woman who seems to be Lilixira’s attendant, Alphiss, hurriedly rushes in front of her to cut her off.
“Saint-sama! Please refrain from approaching unprepared!”
“It’s okay, Alphiss, please don’t be so tense. Conflict seems unlikely.”
Lilixira pouts as she objects to Alphiss’s obstruction. She sticks her head out and opens her eyes wide to look me in my eyes. I feel like I see a a red gleam hidden in her green pupils.
