Chapter 56: A Heart to Heart Conversation?

"Ale? Why are you here?"

Rudy asked, meeting Ale right outside their bath. The rest were taking their sweet time and soaking in the warm medicinal water that was prepared for them.

"Let's take a walk?"

Ale was there all by himself. After causing that commotion inside the underground prison, he sent everyone following him away and decided to come greet Rudy himself.

Rudy nodded his head at this sudden offer for a walk and started following Ale who was already walking one step ahead.

There was a back gate nearby and Ale started walking straight ahead. Soon, both of them were outside the base, with no people around. Rudy quietly followed behind Ale, not asking anything about their sudden change of location.

"How's she doing?"

Ale asked, taking a peek at the holy artifact which was shining dimly on Rudy's finger. Since it could shapeshift according to the owners wish, Rudy often used it as a ring or a pendant and matched it with his dresses.
