Richard still froze the time around them while letting his sister finish crying her heart out. After that, he ran it back and took Niken to come over to Edward.
Edward did not know that the time around him had stopped and was surprised to see Niken's face, which looked like she was crying.
Since when did Niken arrive at this lake? And why did that girl's face swollen like she'd been crying but now laughing with her brother?
Ah, he decided not to care too much about it, especially when faced with one of the Time Masters who could stop and turn the clock at will.
On the other side, Kazuto and Lionel suddenly panicked and worried because they didn't find Niken near them. Kazuto used his sense of smell and transformed into a human to find Niken.
As soon as they saw Niken talking with Richard and Edward by the lake, the two Elementalist knights could only breathe a sigh of relief.
