A Willing Tree

Two people were seated on a flying boat side by side.

They were none other than Davis and Stella, who were on their way to the Dark Moon Lightning Serpent Clan.

At this moment, Davis was staring into the horizon, seemingly contemplating what he had just done.

No- it was not about Saintess Lunaria.

He glanced at Stella, who sat with her lips pursed. She turned to look at him and lightly smiled, showing her teeth as she went-

"Shishsi~"

"…"

Davis blinked before he smiled and placed his hand on her head, ruffling her purple hair.

"You're not a child anymore since you have fully become independent of your mother. I hope you understand what you just did."

"I do. I want to be with you, big brother~"

"As long as you understand."

Davis nodded while looking into her eyes. He took his hand back and looked into the distance again, unable to believe that he once again did it.
