Bab 738: Where is Sunny?

Another two hours had gone by before Lilou and Samael finally collapsed on the landscape. They were already catching up to their breathing, staring at the starless night sky. Law and Tilly had already gone inside the manor an hour ago so the boy could rest properly on the bed. But the rest remained until the two lovebirds collapse.

"Ah, goodness!" Samael breathed out, patting his chest as if that would help him calm his racing heart. "I think I'm growing old. How am I out of breath just after five hours of blocking my wife's attacks?"

Lilou closed her eyes, slacked jaw. Just like Samael, she couldn't believe she was out of breath after just five hours of fighting. They used to fight their enemies all the time; sometimes, each battle would last overnight. As for Samael, it would last for days. 

"Lilove," Samael called in between his ragged breathing, glancing to where she was lying flat on her back. "Did you calm down now?"
