That could have been dangerous.

I breathe a sigh of relief as I see Hipopo brothers come out of the scrolls activated by Master Rust.

But I can’t allow myself to feel that way. Master Rust being so reliable is making it so I am constantly relying on him. Especially when it comes to protecting Lady Kalin, which is a duty that falls on me and Roa.

But I find it hard to ‘see’ past that enemy with the pale light.

I saw images of the future intermittently before. And there, I saw Lady Kalin clearly going on a rampage.

Does Master Rust know? Blood of the giant race flows in Lady Kalin’s veins.

I look at his face, and find it strange that he looks somewhat unconcerned, even though he is in the middle of battle.

No, that is a problem for Lady Kalin and Master Rust, not something for me to care about. Focus on your duty, Ahri.

I tell myself as I look back at Princess Lily. She is completely different from when she was the ‘Third Seat of Immorality’. I would go as far as to call her docile.

Even now she is standing still behind me, looking a little frightened.

This is very understandable, considering her mind has regressed to when she was a child with no fighting ability.

I keep watching Master Rust, even as Princess Lily stays in my mind. Hipopo brothers keep being manifested from the scrolls, but at some point Master Rust stops it.

There are only about half the Hipopo brothers I saw before. Is he holding back because he is fighting in the middle of a street?

“Ah!”

My future sight is activating.

I can see Lady Kalin riding one of the Hipopo brothers with a smile on her face, and swinging her sword at the giant ladybug.

“Lady Kalin!”

I yell, a little too late.

Is this also because of that pale light? I only see the very near future.

The future I saw is already happening by the time I raise my voice, and Lady Kalin is already on her way towards the giant ladybug.

Good grief…!
