Without Kino's fervent gaze upon her, Yue Ji always felt as though something was missing. Turning her gaze towards Kino beside her, she reproached mildly, "Why are you looking down? There's no gold on the ground."
Startled, Kino looked up bewilderedly into Yue Ji's eyes. Gazing at the familiar delicate face before him, a hint of infatuation surfaced in his eyes as he murmured, "I... It's nothing."
Yue Ji sighed softly and said, "Are you worried about Ah Dai? But really, what's the use of worrying? Ah Dai is truly foolish to have heedlessly believed that villain's slander and abandoned Yue Yue like that. It's no wonder Yue Yue is angry. If it were me, I would never pay attention to him again. Yue Yue is already being quite forgiving to still give him a one-year chance. Let's hurry up. Once we get back, we can mobilize the power of our Mercenary Corps to find him sooner."
