บท 279: The Burning Expedition · The World’s Graveyard

With a slightly embarrassed smile, Rita waved at Holy Cup North Year and Snow Pile, trying to cover her awkwardness. She smiled again, thinking she hadn't smiled brightly enough, so she did it once more—forcing a smile.

The bone tile was in her hands, and Nivalis, no longer playing around, hurriedly bade farewell to the elders and flew with Rita back to Nivalis's dragon nest.
