Chapter 45

Led by Fox, who was not a servant, Rabi arrived at a pond in the courtyard of the academy, and then deeper into the surrounding forest. Passing through the dense trees, they entered a dilapidated shack, where Sai was found.

From Fox's words, Rabi knew that Sai was his master, but the feeling was different when she actually saw him. She bit her lip, unsure of how to face the boy.

"Lord Rabi, you're safe...!"

Sai immediately noticed Rabi and rushed to her. However, seeing Rabi's stiff expression, Sai frowned and looked at Fox. "I brought her here as per your command, without a scratch," Fox said, waving his hands. But as Sai hesitated, "No, I'm sorry, it's just that, I..."

Rabi liked Sai. She really liked him.

She couldn't suppress the feelings welling up inside her. She couldn't forgive herself for feeling so innocent and joyful at his righteousness. After several deep breaths, she finally managed to face the two of them.

"Lord Sai. And Fox. ...Thank you very much."

She bowed her head.

She understood that their kindness was something very precious and irreplaceable.

"Heheh."

Fox laughed awkwardly. Sai just shook his head silently.

"No, in the first place, I couldn't stop such an absurd order from being issued. I'm really sorry."

"Right, right. This guy, Nelra, was supposed to be a saint, right? When he found out that she might become one, he panicked and came to me. There was no time, and he said to evacuate Lord Rabi immediately, or it would be too late. It was a real unreasonable request, and then... then... then... then... then... then... then... then... then... then... then... then... then... then... then... then... then... then... then... then...
