The other side.
Aster Grant noticed that after a period of slumber, Lazuli seemed to show signs of awakening.
Without hesitation, he summoned her from the Beastbond Space and gently held her in his arms.
Perhaps sensing a familiar aura, the girl in his arms fluttered her eyelashes slightly before slowly opening her eyes.
The first thing she saw was an incredibly familiar face.
"Master...?"
The long slumber left Lazuli feeling somewhat bewildered.
Gazing at Aster, she momentarily couldn't fully comprehend her situation.
Upon hearing her voice, a hint of joy flashed in Aster's eyes.
"Lazuli, how is your body? Is there anywhere that still feels uncomfortable..."
All his worries and questions poured out at once.
Seeing Aster so concerned about her, a warm feeling surged in Lazuli's heart.
The battle earlier had been intense, leaving them no time to communicate.
After defeating the Bone Demon, she had collapsed from exhaustion, preventing Aster from voicing all his concerns.
