Chapter 681: One (1)
The city, where the citizens' evacuation had ended, was as still as a lake with no wind.

"It'll be a problem with Lucy's face being so widely recognized. You won't be able to avoid attention unless you hide deep in the mountains."
"In fact, hiding might only enhance the mystery around Lady Allen, making people pursue you more persistently."
"Even if bad rumors spread, no one will take them seriously."
I had just been daydreaming, could you not shatter it so thoroughly?
Reality is too hopeless; I might end up feeling depressed.
