Because I Do Love Him

Even though Emma tried to hide her sadness, still Xion, who was watching her, could see that Emma was aggrieved. He patted the girl's shoulder and squeezed it softly.

"Don't give up. Later, when we get to Akkadia, you will be able to train more to defeat Therius. Five years is a long time to develop yourself."

Emma raised her face and hurriedly wiped her tears so that she didn't look weak in front of Xion.

"Hmm ... may I have some wine?" asked Emma.

"This?" Xion turned to the wine bottle in his left hand. Without batting an eye, he handed it over to Emma. "Take it. I think I like drinking with you. I've always been used to drinking alone because the ice prince can't drink."

"Hmm ..." Emma then downed the wine in the bottle that Xion had just given to her. She closed her eyes and gulped many times until the bottle became empty.
