I smiled at him, scratching the back of my head nervously with an awkward smile.
Gael's eyebrow twitches and he seems he's lost for words, but a sigh escapes his lips.
"Haa... Bring someone with you at least."
"Well, I'm planning to bring Raphael."

"Alright then. It's better if you go with someone rather alone."
I smiled brightly at his agreement.
"Thank you for understanding!"

I nodded my head at his answer.
"Yes."
"Why me though? I can't fight and I don't have any magical powers like Cristo and the others."
He raised his brow, looking at me questioningly while pointing at himself.
"That's the point!"
"... What?"
