I didn't really care much about all this.
But- now that this was done, I had to again think about what to do afterward.
I knew I was just distracting myself. I knew I was just killing time.
And yet, there was little I could do.
There was….
"Umm…" The girl fidgeted. "Do you have any extra clothes?"
Wait, what?
I looked over her and well, the shirt was melting, and some parts of her pant were also melting. She wasn't dying from the burns she had all over thanks to the potion, but she wasn't in the best of shape either. And her clothes were going to melt sooner or later.
I guess that plant spray was much more of a drag than I thought.
Meanwhile, my clothes and armor had mostly survived thanks to the robe.
This robe was beyond just durable.
Let me explain.
First of all, this was supposed to be a whole mini-arc with backstory and main story mixed in and perhaps a bit of character building. But I ended up skipping a lot of them for the sake of pacing (which still sucked). That's why, a lot of things felt out of place or maybe just cheap( which I'm actually aware but couldn't do anything.)
And Daarc's occasional breathing and heartbeats and sudden personality changes also have an explanation which will become clear later.
Anyway, we took a detour but we're finally back on the main arc- the final one.
