บท 54: The Unusual Gate Node (7)

Rise watched Kamille's expression; he did not feel disappointed though when he barely saw any change. Kamille was not like him, who always wore his heart on his sleeves in the other's presence. 

Kamille brushed his hair slightly, then turned back at him. 

"Do you need to be guided?" 

For Espers who overspent their abilities, it always needed immediate action. Kamille had every reason to worry about this. Unlike him, who had Rise as his guide. 

Before Rise could answer, Kamille asked another question. 

"Or... Can you guide youself?" It sounded ridiculous even to him, but it was also a valid question. Since he had not seen any case like Rise before, as he was a guide, how impossible was it that he could also guide himself? 

Rise blinked, processing the question, then suddenly burst out laughing. A memory of the past also flashed in his mind. 

If he remembered it right, both of them had a conversation like this before.
