Chapitre 105: 103: A matter of trust

"You sure believe a lot in that half-demon friend of yours but you're setting yourself up for failure. I've observed her and she's too soft-hearted isn't she?" Nao ignored the obvious jab the kid tried to make. She was not in a mood for this.

The kid had been trying to top with Suna and Nao's for a while now without any apparent success but it was getting to Nao's head. She could feel a small headache from behind her head which made her grumpy.

"Don't be ridiculous. Maria is just fine as she is. She'll be here soon enough with your brother" Suna replied, not even opening her eyes at the accusation. Her body was relaxed and held no signs of fatigue. Her words were sure as well, full of confidence and trust.

Nao was not surprised since she felt the same way about Maria. Her friend had been tough and resilient when she set out to do something. That was also why Nao knew that Maria would be alright even when Nao finally died.
