The blinding sunlight was merciless on my eyes.
Groaning from the sore muscles all over my body, I absentmindedly furrowed my brow.
'Ugh, everything aches. Well, that’s only natural after being in the middle of an explosion. I didn't even cast my defense magic properly, after all. I wonder how long I was unconscious?

Perhaps too much time has passed and...'
"Lilianne."
A deep, sunken voice interrupted my thoughts.

"Hello, Josh."
'How long has it been since we faced each other like this?'
I tried to open my mouth casually, however, his eyes, like a calm night sea enveloped in mist, wavered for a moment before he spoke up.
