"They're starting to piss me off."
Azure Saint groaned as she plopped on the couch near Verdant Matriarch. Her expression was cloudy, and she seemed a complaint away from blowing up something nearby just to relieve her stress.
"They're still insisting we somehow capture that secret realm for them?" the Verdant Matriarch guessed.
"Yes." Azure Saint nodded in frustration. "They no longer care about the safety of the children. They want profit now. They want to bind those trial grounds to the human civilization and milk them for every bit of worth they have."
"Are you really surprised, though?" the Verdant Matriarch sighed. "They've always been like that. Didn't they used to do the same to us? Isn't this why we preferred to be on the frontlines instead of here?"
Azure Saint cannot refute that because the other party was right.
Disappointed, but not surprised. That's what Azure Saint really felt about this whole situation.
