"Emmy?"
"Oh, Vanny!"
After Emilia and Riley's conversation came to an end, the young saintess quietly hummed to herself while preparing the room for tonight's ritual.
Although she could have simply asked one of the cathedral's sisters to prepare everything on her behalf, Emilia always preferred doing it herself. Something about personally arranging the ritual made her feel more at ease.
Perhaps it was because, to her, communicating with the Goddess was never something to be taken lightly.
Just then, the door slowly opened, and Vanessa stepped inside.
"So your talk with Senior Riley is over?"
"Mhm!" Emilia happily nodded. "Though I actually wanted to talk with Senior a little longer."
Vanessa smiled faintly before looking around the room.
"I didn't see him leave."
Her eyes were full of vigilance.
It wasn't that she doubted Riley.
Rather, she couldn't afford to lower her guard.
