When a group of important figures were in the middle of a meeting, a small piece of news came in.
"Oh no!!"
Someone pushed open the door and walked in.
And as the camera switched, it arrived at a small place.
This was one of the safe houses in the Water Shrine, a refuge for some businessmen who had offended the heretics.
Similarly, someone pushed open the door here as well.
And the young girl who entered was assigned as a caregiver by the high priest.
"Just now... just now..."
Yuna set down the tea cup in her hand and said to the young girl.
"Calm down, we can't hear you when you're like this."
Following Yuna's advice, the young girl took a deep breath.
"Just now, news of a collapse came from the west side of the city."
Yuna didn't immediately retort but rather asked anxiously.
"How does this...?"
Unable to continue, fear silenced Yuna.
Word has it that Cyclone Theodore was there at the time, but later, no one was found there at all!
Yuna stood up.
"W-wait!!"
Although the young girl extended her arms to show her determination not to let Yuna leave, Yuna shouted.
"If you don't want me to leave, then you shouldn't be telling us this kind of news."
Taken aback by Yuna's sharp words, the young girl fell silent on the spot.
The young girl was just a young girl, lacking in experience. If it were Cyclone, he would never bring up a topic that could affect others' emotions in such circumstances.
However, compared to Yuna's tension, Elyse on the bed tried to sit up.
"H-husband..."
With this sudden movement, Yuna had to turn back to support Elyse.
"Don't move!"
"B-but..."
"I swear, if you keep acting like this, I..."
"I'm fine, sorry..."
The two girls, upon learning that their husbands were in trouble, steadily lost their composure.
They had no choice - with Cyclone in danger and his fate uncertain, feeling uneasy was inevitable.
Watching Elyse's pained expression, Yuna hesitated for a moment but then picked up her fox mask.
"Although I promised Cyclone that no matter what happened, I would protect you, but if I lose him, neither you nor I would want that..."
Pressing on her stomach, Elyse looked at Yuna.
"Get... get some hot water, I can handle it..."
"Okay. You get some hot water, I'm going to...!"
Although Elyse also agreed for Yuna to leave, the young girl maintained the same gesture.
"N-no! The Twilight King has entered the city, and there will be more spies in the city! If you show your face even once, you will definitely be found!"
"Leave now."
Just a mere young girl, Yuna did not pay much attention to her.
Since the decision had been made, immediate action was necessary.
Even if Yuna was discovered, at most, she would not return here and would first take Cyclone away from Kakarl.
There would be a chance in the future to come back for the others.
However, just as Yuna was about to push past the young girl in front of her, a cry from another young girl came from outside the room.
"Oh, how sweet. Your emotions have become so rich after becoming a wife~"
Entering the room, she surprised everyone inside in an instant.
"I-it can't be, th-there was absolutely no one trailing me..."
Clearly, the young girl believed she had made a mistake leading the person in front of her to find this place.
But Yuna knew it wasn't so - the girl before her had not tracked them down.
A Tiny loli who could transform into a "dragon," a genius illusionist.
"You're not dead yet?"
"..."
Facing Yuna's first words, the Tiny loli was stunned.
After a few seconds of blushing, Tiny's jealousy, known as the Seven Sins, flared up, and the Tiny loli cursed angrily.
"Hey!! Is that all you have to say?!!"
With that said, Yuna had already rushed over and embraced Tiny.
"Really, really..."
Being held tightly by Yuna, Tiny's anger dissipated.
However, after a brief reunion, Tiny pushed Yuna away.
"Let's get down to business, Sister Yuna."
Taking a step back, Tiny looked up at Yuna.
"I came here this time not for anything else, but because a man named Daniel asked me to. That's the only reason why I'm here."
"Daniel..."
Elyse repeated the name quietly, after hearing it from Tiny.
"Although I don't know what that man is thinking, you can rest assured... I believe my actions were not Allen's king idea but that man's personal request..."
After saying this, Tiny shut the door.
"I know you're very worried, Sister Yuna, but please let me finish what I have to say first."
