Chapter 76: I promise you, this would not happen again.

"Vaan! You are awake!" Elara's face brightened up as she saw Vaan opening her eyes. 

Vaan, who heard her loud voice was annoyed, however, when he noticed Elara's reddened eyes and faint traces of her dried tears on her cheeks, his irritation washed away. 

Elara was crying, she was worried about him. 

"Are you okay? Are you hurt? Do you feel any sort of discomfort anywhere?" Suddenly, Elara asked a series of questions. 

Vaan just smiled, then, he moved his hand and grabbed hers. 

"I am perfectly fine, Elara." 

Elara blushed, she wanted to move her hand away because she was flustered, but in the end, she just closed her eyes and didn't do it. 

"Should I call the Medic? Although they treated you and said your body has recovered well, it would be better to let him do the last round of checkups." 

Vaan, however, just tightened his grip around Elara's hand and, "Just stay here with me for a while."
