บท 309: Departure For Ainzlark

Once the emotional outbursts were finished, Anabelle and I began conversing normally.

We discussed at length, talking about my adventures during the three years I was absent, as well as how she coped during my absence. I intentionally omitted certain parts of my adventure—especially the part about my stay in the hideout I made with my friends back in the day.

'Despite her wild personality, Anabelle is actually the epitome of nobility…'
