Chapter 111- Mind In Chaos
"Wait, Rin." Aria pulled him quickly before he moved away.
"What's the meaning of this? Where did you get that dagger?" She asked in a hurry, clearly distressed.
"It's a long story. I will explain later. Now, I need to follow them before they vanish completely."
As he was about to vanish inside his shadow, Aria spoke.
"I will go with you."
"Huh? No way!"
"Why not? I can't just let you do such a dangerous thing alone."
"It's exactly for that reason. I can escape easily if they catch me. I can't guarantee your escape, Aria. Besides, my shadow moves faster if I'm the only one inside. I can't risk putting your life in danger just because of that."
"You can't just…" She said.
"Listen…" He put his hand on her shoulder and smiled.
"I won't take long. If I don't come back in 15 minutes, you can track me, fine?"
Aria looked at him for a few seconds with a complicated gaze. Then, she smacked him on the head.
"Ouch!"
"You are a huge, reckless idiot!"
