The next day.
I woke up rather early and got dressed nicely. Today was an important day, and I couldn't be late for it. For that reason, I woke up earlier than usual to go out and buy the necessary equipment for the upcoming Summit.
"...This should be enough."
Holding onto two bags, I channeled my mana into the ring and entered the white world within.
"...."
A tall and grand palace greeted my sight the moment that I entered the space within the ring.
It was a sight I had grown accustomed to as I walked into the empty hall, my steps quietly echoing throughout.
The lack of decorations made the place look extremely empty, but I was helpless on the matter. I was at my limits with how many things I could bring into the ring.
Perhaps in the future...
Tak, tak—
As I walked forward, I was suddenly reminded of what happened the previous day and Kiera's parting words.
"She'll kill me, huh?"
