Tremble!
Even the soul couldn't stop shuddering—
This was Lazuli's only feeling when facing that destructive attack.
In front of the colossal tortoise that seemed capable of annihilating everything, all struggles seemed futile.
However.
At this moment....
A warm and steady hand suddenly grasped her cold fingers.
Aster Grant stepped forward, standing firmly by her side.
Every moment of crisis, it was always Lazuli standing in front of him.
But this time...
Aster Grant wanted to change things up.
They would face it together!
"Master?!"
Lazuli turned her head, eyes filled with astonishment.
But Aster Grant said nothing more, only tightening his grip on Lazuli's hand.
Watching the colossal tortoise approach, blocking out the sky, Aster Grant spoke softly, yet his voice was clearly heard in Lazuli's ears:
"Lazuli, all this time… thank you for staying by my side!"
Although he was Lazuli's master, all along...
He had always been under the care of this little girl.
