"Here," Jobina said, handing me a wristband.
No... it was—
"Alicia's bead!" I exclaimed, snatching it from her. "This thing's dangerous, you know."
Jobina nodded. "Yeah. When I put it on, I felt like my life was already over."
I squirmed.
Why would anyone want to wear something like that so casually?
To eagerly perish?
Then again, maybe she didn't know what it could do.
Still, I was surprised it had withstood that colossal clash earlier.
It wasn't called an ancient magical item for nothing.
Jobina and I were making our way north, searching for the heart of Coastelle. The wind was picking up.
I should've covered Levi and Alicia with some sheet or something…
Well, it's not like Levi needs that kind of pampering, and Alicia's dragon form could handle this kind of cold.
"Aren't you surprised?" I asked. "By how this place works? It feels... kind of chaotic, doesn't it?"
Jobina smiled. "Not at all… Actually, I don't torment myself by thinking about things too much."
