Chapter 206: Claire

The plant girl, whom I recognized, had her hood off. We were alone in her room, talking. Her negative mood was removed once I told her I remembered her.

"How have you been?"

Claire had made a lot of space for me, carrying all her equipment to the side. I had told her I would assist, but she told me to stay here and sit.

"Me? Not much; I'd only destroyed a world, joined a war, and won."

"..."

Yeah, I was bragging. It was nice to tease someone who was an excellent target for it. Claire stared at me and said something outrageous.

"That wasn't much???"

Claire did look like the gullible type, but I think she believed me. Looking at her, she seemed too happy for me to be here.

"What about you? I haven't seen you in a while."

"While mine may not be as great as yours, I learned a lot."

Hearing Claire speak, I could see her shine. She was ecstatic when I asked how she was doing. I couldn't help but look away and see how bright she was.
