Chapter 193: The Claw

"Astes…" Seeing the scene in front of her, the golden beauty was also somehow saddened as her eyes turned redder.

"Eh, why are you crying apprentice-sister…? No need for that, we'll probably see each other again anyways! There, there… stop crying now…" At first, Virus was a bit surprised by this unexpected turn of events, however, he stopped thinking about it and raised his hand as he patted her head while she was still hugging and wailing inside his embrace.

Around thirty seconds passed when Astes was finally calm as she separated herself from that position and muttered, "I… I'm sorry junior brother… it just makes me really sad thinking that I might never see you again, so…"

"It's okay, apprentice-sister, no need to explain… I understand because I'm feeling the same." Displaying a somewhat bitter smile, Virus voiced.

Afterward, she and the golden beauty also said their farewells when it was finally the time to part.
