A Revenge Blow - Part 11

Put like that, Vol found it more difficult than he would have liked to argue with her.

"Say, why don't we hurry this along?" She said, clinging to his arm.

He shrugged her off. "If you would keep your hands off me, it would go far more quickly."

"If you would use Pandora's tools, it would go far more quickly as well."

"I told you that I will not use Summoning. Perhaps I might find time to practise it, as you say. But not here and now. The last thing we need is some noisy villager seeing us," Vol said.

"There are other tools that Pandora offers you," Pandora said. "It is monsters that you are looking for. Do you not think Pandora would know how to find them?"

Finally, Vol's footsteps came to a halt. He turned sharply to look at her. She grinned maliciously, knowing full well that she had his complete attention. "Do you wish to know?" She asked. "Do you?"

"I would not be listening to you if I didn't," Vol said.
