"I give up." Marie sighs. Now she's really admitting loss, finishing the game.
Lucien uses his will to remove water from the environment, causing that big rock to return to normal. Well, it's going to take a while to get back to how it was before due to the damage the girls have done with their spells.
Angela and Lena gather around Marie to praise her. "We wouldn't have made it this far if it wasn't for your strategy!" Lena is the first to say.
"Indeed..." Angela smiles and pats both her daughters' heads. "You did it great too, Lena. Our group's biggest weakness is our low physical strength, and you can overcome that for us."
"I think the same," Mira comments as she approaches the group along with her daughters. "Actually, Lena and Kamala can work together to defend us while Marie plans our moves."
"Mm." Angela, Marie, and Kamala quickly agree, as does Lena.
"I don't think I need to say anything..." Lucien comments.
The things I mentioned in this chapter may or may not seem morally horrible, depending on how you think about it, but that's just FICTION, remember? But for Lucien, that is his life, so it's natural for him to panic when thinking about such things... Anyway, I hope WN staff don't ban me when that time comes.
