Chapter 155 - Perserios territory - part 4 - Countering the plan that was thirty years in the making (part 4)

"Zoemi~!"

The black-haired boy and the brown-haired corpse puppet were greeted by the helmet-wearing girl the moment she and the blond-haired girl turned the corner and got themselves in the same hallway.

"~!"

Zoemi's face brightened with a smile as he lifted his arm and waved back as the two girls approached, followed by the corpse puppet sentinels. The latter seemed to be especially proud of themselves for completing the tasks given to them in such a short time.

Miriette nodded at the corpse puppet Xeontih, who truth be told did not bear too much resemblance to how Xeonith originally looked – besides brown hair and eyes, of course – and instead stopped two steps from Zoemi and reached out her hand just a bit.

The black-haired boy reached out to her himself and they held hands before the helmet-wearing girl took the last steps and leaned on his shoulder.

"I was worried, you know?'

Miriette spoke up dismissively, as if it wasn't anything important, making Zoemi snicker.
