Chapter 46- A Goodbye from Sugar
"She’s strong," Ytrisia murmured, her eyes narrowing as she stared at the ruins of the buildings ahead. Only moments ago, she had fought those two villains there, her limbs now feeling the strain of the battle.
The villains’ severed heads lay scattered across the ground, their bodies decapitated as though sliced by a blade so sharp it could sever even their very cells.

"Shut up, Cruxius," Volta snapped, her eyes twitching as she kept her gaze fixed ahead, completely ignoring the man. She was well aware of his perverse thoughts.
Ytrisia leaned against Darithi, barely keeping herself upright, her body still trembling from the exertion.

Darithi stepped aside without caring about Ytrisia, whose arm slipped off her shoulder, and she stumbled forward, falling directly into Cruxius’ arms.
His hand landed on her abdomen, and his bicep brushed against her breast, enough to feel her warmth.
"Y-you... Darithi?! How could you?" Ytrisia gasped, her heart pounding.
