บท 39: 39, Announcement from the World Tree Sanctum

Aiko sighed.

Let's not talk about the gap between healers for now.

Lia, being a swordsman, rushing headlong into things is one thing.

But as a frail mage, not even standing in the back is safe, so how could she possibly join the charge?

Seeing Lia's spirited expression, Aiko knew talking her out of it was futile.

Anyway, she has no plans to stay long in Snow Goose, so whatever happens later is none of her business.

She thus adopted the stance of a bystander, waiting to see how Lia would trip up.

"But speaking of which, why must it be three months to reach the 15th level?"

Aiko wondered aloud.

Four months, five months, wouldn't they do?

Could that day hold some special significance for Lia?

"You haven't seen this yet, here, someone from the Adventurer's Guild just brought this over."

Lia, excited, handed a flyer to Aiko.

She didn't know what was on it that could have revived Lia from her dejection.
