"But—" Firey wanted to argue, but Himmel Soan waved her off.

"No buts. I've made up my mind. You must stay here. Otherwise, I'll be very upset, and I won't have you around me anymore!"

Firey fell silent upon noticing Himmel Soan's determination. She knew no one could change his mind and understood why he wanted her to stay behind.

Knowing that his chances of coming back were quite slim, he wanted to reserve some hope for the future. If he died, Firey wouldn't want to live anymore, but she would only take her own life after finishing his task.

She was the hope of the entire world, and all creatures' lives depended on her.

"I see. Master, please come back safely!" Firey bit her lip and finally decided to stay.

For the first time, she wished she wouldn't be so helpful.

If there was no need to fight against the other world anymore, it would mean it had been destroyed and that Himmel Soan was alive.
