The girl smiled gleefully. “I’m glad that I could help.”
It was fortunate that we had a healing-type Sacred Gear user around. These types of gears were quite rare, and finding a user of it was a challenging tas...

The cold wind, the clear sky, and the sweet melody of silence surrounded us.
We walked the streets close to each other, with almost no people around—a perfect scene for a late-night stroll.
