บท 159: A Date With The Dragon Empress

The next day (49 days until the wedding)...

As the hours passed, Ryan didn't have much to prepare for his dinner date, so he explored the facility and talked with Yoko.

As they swapped stories about their various adventures, Ryan started to feel the pang in his chest grow as he told stories about his times with Aliza.

The years he had spent with her were the best in his life, and although his last months on Ravier had been exciting, the fun he had experienced with Aliza would always remain the fondest of memories.

'That's why I have to get stronger,' Ryan remembered his first goal when coming to Ravier.

'If Aliza is somehow connected to this world, then strength is the one thing I need to find her.'

Although Ryan wanted nothing more than to reunite with his beloved lover and mentor, he couldn't now as he tried to court a Dragon Empress.

As Ryan packed up his prepared food, Yoko started her usual chatter.
