The Aura That Shook the World
Thinking of this, Anna was delighted.
The more outstanding Leon was, the happier she became.
After all, if nothing unexpected happened, he would become her future Pathbound Companion.
Who wouldn't want the person standing beside them to shine brighter than everyone else?
Everyone admired experts.
Anna was no exception.
Especially when that expert had already become someone she could slowly open her heart to.
The silence between them lasted only a few breaths.
Leon noticed her thoughtful expression and chuckled softly.
"What are you thinking about so seriously?"
Anna looked up at him before quickly looking away again.
"Nothing."
Leon raised an eyebrow.
"Really?"
"...Really."
A faint smile tugged at his lips.
"Then I'm relieved."
Anna glanced at him from the corner of her eye.
"Relieved about what?"
"I thought you were regretting becoming my temporary Pathbound Companion."
For a brief moment, Anna froze.
