The curtain was wide open, basking the room with dim moonlight. Elena was already there, sitting cross-legged on the sofa and leisurely taking a sip of her favorite liquor.
"Took you long enough, Ryo." Elena greeted.
"Well... a little girl almost bumped into me in the hallway, so we had a small chat," replied Ryo while he sat on the opposite side of Elena.
"You mean Freyr? Huh, That saved a lot of time to introduce her."
"Who is she?" asked Ryo, but it looked like Elena was not in the mood to explain to him. So Katya intruded on their chat.
"A child whose mother was exterminated by Elena. Yet, due to her kindness... She took the child and promised her mother to raise her. Beautiful story, isn't it?"
At first, Ryo couldn't believe what Katya said. A woman with high self-esteem, who looked so dignified, like Elena, took pity on an exo-creature like her. But after a moment, he realized why Elena's face was somewhat a bit tired.
