After taking a comfortable bath, Gabriel stepped back into his room, only having a towel around his waist.
"You took your sweet time. I was starting to get bored here."
As soon as Gabriel stepped into the room, he heard a melodious voice coming from nearby. He turned around but couldn't find anyone anywhere.
"Lady Avilia, isn't it bad manners to barge inside someone's room without knocking?" Gabriel asked in return. Even though he couldn't see the lady, that voice was something he had heard before. It belonged to the Holy Priestess of Summoning, the Crazy Ruler of Element.
It was slightly surprising to him as well. The four stones were still in the same place. Despite that, the woman managed to enter the room without alerting him. Her skills... They were certainly good.
"You don't look surprised by my appearance here," the woman finally appeared before Gabriel, coming out of the shadow of the bed.
