Chapitre 397: Protect Master!

Sometime earlier,

Her arm was reaching forward.

Her lips had parted, but the words refused to be uttered.

'Don't...'

Elisa grabbed her extended arm by the wrist and brought it closer to her heart as she trembled.

'Leave me alone...'

The one that had remained shaking, unable to decide what to do, had finally started moving.

***

Elisa is in pain.

Elisa is hurting.

But I must go!

Master is running, but he's in pain too!

I can tell...

Those eyes weren't Master's.

There are times when Master isn't Master.

I have to go help Master!

Elisa is strong.

She will stand up.

She will keep going.

Elisa is really strong!

I have to help Master!

I'm not as strong as the others.

I'm not as fast as Grey, as stealthy as Light, or as strong as Levi.

I can't help Master the way Fiery can.

But!

There is a way that I can protect Master!
