Bloom just smiled as he was really exhausted while saying: "Sure, I managed to slay it."
"All on your own?" the NPC asked.
"Of course I wouldn't be if certain someone wasn't slacking behind."
"Tsk," the NPC shook his head, "don't blame me for that. Who told you to be so impulsive and run on your own."
Bloom glanced over the NPC as he muttered: "What do you mean by that?"
"I should have helped you at the final battle," the NPC shook his head before adding, "but you did it all on your own."
Bloom was speechless there for a moment. "You never said anything like this before!" he shouted in rage and he had all the right to feel so! He was almost killed.
"Don't blame me," the NPC acted innocent, "I'm not the one who ran wild and left the dolls behind."
"Tsk," Bloom shook his head before adding, "let's go, the gate is open."
