"Yino...?"
Beneath the phantom mist of the dark forest, Yuyan slowly widened her beautiful eyes.
As the familiar voice entered her mind, her heart began to beat once more. The emotional surge from narrowly escaping death at the demon abyss cliff made her almost instinctively step forward.
"It's me, Senior Sister..."
"Senior Sister... don't be afraid, I'm coming to save you..."
The boy's phantom continued calling out gently.
He extended his hand in an embracing gesture, walking step by step toward Yuyan.
Yuyan stood frozen in place, momentarily entranced by what she heard.
But the instant those blood-stained palms moved to embrace her, the Frost Chant sword guarding her side suddenly erupted with sword intent without warning, slashing the approaching monster into fragments.
The stench of blood filled the air, and Yuyan finally snapped out of her recent dream-like state.
