บท 936: Bittersweet Parting

'Kuzon, you...' Maya's hesitated as she looked at him.

She remembered when she first saw him. Her first thought had been that he was handsome. It wasn't until later, when she brought herself back to reality, that she developed animosity towards him.

He was a Midas, after all.

However, as fate would have it, he wasn't really a Midas—at the very least, not in the sense that made him tainted in her eyes.

This alone brought a relief that she couldn't quite describe. It was ecstatic.

And then, they started their journey together. Despite Kuzon's increasing frustration and anxiety, she found herself wanting to spend even more time on their quest.

A huge part of her wanted Kuzon to be happy, and that meant finding the person they were searching for.

However, another part—a more subtle side of her—didn't want their adventures to end.

It was especially dreadful because she realized the possibility of never seeing him again if he disappeared to the homeworld he had told her about.
