"Are you ready?"
Kael questioned with a light smile on his face. Vitaria momentarily glanced at Cirri, then, as if to taunt her even further, she jumped into Kael's arms and,
"I am."
"…"
Cirri's mouth twitched. She wanted nothing more than to wipe that smirk off the Fox's face, but she couldn't do anything because Imperia was sitting on top of her head.
In the end, she just closed her eyes, and Vitaria, who knew she had won, cuddled into Kael's embrace and,
"Yes, Father~"
She answered with an adorable smile on her face.
Kael, who continued to ruffle the fur ball in front of him, smiled and then formed a portal.
"Let's go, then."
A determined look appeared on his face as the portal formed.
He had been stuck with the Tempest Sanctum for more days than he anticipated, so he wanted to clear the new place faster than that.
"We wish you luck, Father. Please be careful inside."
Igni spoke in his mature voice.
