Chapter 142: Rhodes, When Are You Going Out Again?
On the way back, Rhodes and his team boarded a train
This time, Rhodes didn't need to struggle for a seat. Alzack mustered up the courage to sit in the same row as Bisca.
However, there was still a gap between them—one staring out the window at the passing scenery, the other looking down awkwardly at the aisle.
Rhodes pulled out a deck of cards to break the tension. From now on, he decided to let Alzack handle his love life on his own.
It felt as if the relationship between these two could burst into passionate love at any moment, perhaps progressing even faster than his own.
He felt a pang of envy.
When he got back, Rhodes planned to train for a few more days before choosing a suitable mission to tackle alongside Elfman.
The journey was peaceful, though the weather grew gloomy as they neared Magnolia.
Bisca glanced outside and murmured curiously, "Who's that?"
Rhodes and Alzack quickly turned their heads. Standing alone on a small hill just outside town was a cloaked figure, several staffs secured on his back.
"That must be Mystogan, right?" Rhodes guessed. "I caught a glimpse of him a few days ago, but unfortunately didn't get to see his face."
