Chapter 77: The Third Ordeal Of The Midnight

The fight against the Ordeal of the Dusk went smoother than I could have ever expected.

From Kuzunoha's attentiveness and proactiveness in ensuring the utmost survival for both me and Verina, to Verina's major development in her ohrtending prowess as a whole.

If not for the threat of the Eternal Refrain phenomenon where time would often loop at any given time and any given place, I would had probably be enjoying my first time ever in this world being protected by these two wonderful allies of mine.

It was to the point where I began thinking of the long term.

In my best possible interest, I want to ensure that both of them would still be at my side after we manage to reach Torie Citadel. 

I also began thinking about how to bind Kuzunoha even more, since there was a chance that she would lose interest in me after she uncovered the secret of my soul and vessel.
