Back on the first floor of the guild, Alex watched his temporary party members leave before Gracier and he started to search for Leena.
Gracier had been quiet on the way up, Alex knew it was probably due to her stressing out about tomorrow morning, they were about to return to capture her village anyway, the place where she was born and raised until that tragedy happened.
''Bouh!"
Suddenly Leena appeared behind Gracier startling the latter, she almost jumped of fright.
''Eh? Ah! It's big, - it's you, Leena, you scared me.''
Gracier said after taking a deep breath to calm down her beating heart, she has been surprised so much that she almost called Leena Big sister again, however she changed midway through her sentence.
''Fufufu! You were too tense and lost in your thoughts, hence I decided to alleviate your tension by praying pranks on you.'' Leena explained her reason for doing what she had done while stroking Gracier's.
