Chapter 93: Save The Princess (Rewritten)
Welt was sitting in the parlor car of the Astral Express. He stared at the cup of dark liquid before him, swirling on it’s own as it radiated the presence of a Herrscher. He deeply contemplated whether or not he should take the risk of drinking the cup of coffee, a bead of sweat rolling down his face due to the intense gaze that was being shot at him.
The air shifted slightly. His eyes — covered by the pair of glasses he wore — suddenly seemed to gaze beyond what was before him.
’An opportunity!’
"Fragmentum activity is intensifying... Something’s happening on Jarilo-VI. Shouldn’t I go down there, Himeko?"
The red-haired woman casually took a sip of the poisonous concoction she created.
"Have faith in them. Besides, this is Sunny’s first Trailblazing expedition. How will he be able to look back fondly without a few twists and turns?"
...As he thought of the familiar — but also unfamiliar — boy, Welt suspected that ’twists and turns’ were the exact thing that he didn’t want. He released a deep sigh.
Himeko continued:
"Are you bored, Welt? I understand... But we have lots of opportunities ahead of us. Let’s leave the memories of this expedition for them~"
He gazed out the window, looking towards the frigid landscape of Jarilo-VI.
"So you think they’ll be safe, right?"
