"Well, for starters, I'm not a human from here. I just started out in this world, I got thrown down here with a bunch of people days ago."
<What..? > Daphne's eyes widened, as if Lucas just said the most ridiculous thing ever.
"I'm being serious. All of us arrived at Ulya from different gates, and were bestowed with the same mission.. to climb the Tower of Eve. I don't know what it's for, but I'm headed there since I don't have any other goals. I just happened to stumble upon your home in my exploration and.. accidentally 'saved' you?"
Lucas masked his expression and behavior, acting uncomfortable as he told the story. Like he had a heavy burden on him.
He wasn't lying!
But his feelings were lies.
<I see.. Then, that could explain a lot.>
Daphne stayed in silence for a few moments.
Lucas didn't dare strike any unnecessary conversation in case he would get found out, so he watched as the fairy flew towards the lake and took a dive.
