章 80: New Year's Resolution

"I'll find him, but just in case we don't make it in time, you should do the countdown."

"Me? But it's usually the host!" she stares at him, surprised.

Noah isn't in the mood to soothe her and instead clicks his tongue, annoyed that he has to find Everest. And inwardly thinks, "where is that idiot!?" So Noah rushes out of the hall in a huff.

Everest trembles at the sound of his name and immediately looks up to see Noah's angry face, marching to him until they both overhear A STAR countdown.
