Chapter 53
Klee suddenly felt her strength drain away and fainted.
"Tired...."
Fortunately, Yuri reacted quickly and caught her before she hit the ground.
He gently cradled Klee in his arms, looking down at her peaceful, even breathing. A helpless smile tugged at his lips.
Despite gaining such powerful magic, her physical endurance was still lacking—one spell, and she was out cold.
Himeko approached, eyeing the sleeping Klee. Without hesitation, she reached out and took the child into her arms.
"I'll carry her back to rest," she said with a soft chuckle.
The other three little ones saw Klee faint and immediately abandoned their scratch tickets, following close behind Himeko.
Hook, wide-eyed with worry, tugged at Himeko's sleeve. "Sister Himeko, is Klee going to be okay?"
Himeko smiled reassuringly. "She's fine, just exhausted. Do you still want to open your trash cans?"
The three kids exchanged glances. After a moment, Bailu spoke up. "Forget it. Let's go rest with Klee instead."
