Bab 76: The Black Cat, Part Eleven

Whatever Helmyr's reason was for getting Zenith to help those girls, it did pay off in the form of EXP. 

EXP: 30/310

WST: 14200

[Right, I forgot that Servant of the Purifying Flames increases EXP I get when I kill people who recently killed other people. I guess, from a grinding standpoint, stopping to help those girls made perfect sense.] 

But as Zenith and Asuka made their way down the street, their footsteps echoing against the pavement, a voice called out from behind them.

"Hey, wait up!"

Turning around, they saw a woman jogging toward them, one of the Black Widows from the earlier scuffle.

She was a blonde with piercing green eyes, her hair just a shade darker than Asuka's. As she drew nearer, a warm smile spread across her face.

Zenith raised a brow. 

"Hey there! I'm Ulyn," she said, extending her hand in greeting.

Zenith hesitated for a moment before reluctantly accepting the handshake.
