Black Card

"..." Emilia watched Nero as he went inside the crystal. She looked at Sophia with a confused and concerned look on her face.

"Guess it wasn't gone," Sophia commented.

"Where did he go?" Emilia asked.

"I am here," Nero patted on Emilia's shoulder from behind.

Emilia jolted and turned around, then sighed in relief, "You scared me there."

Sophia squinted her eyes and stared at Nero with a puzzled expression on her face, "I thought you would be angry, but… you look happy. May I ask why?"

"Well, I got us some leads, and I now know where exactly we have to go," Nero said with a grin on his face.

"What do you mean?" Sophia asked curiously.

"We are heading east now, and—" Nero's gaze fell behind Sophia— on Elise.

After noticing Nero's gaze, Sophia also turned around and saw Elise. Sophia glanced back and forth at Nero and Elise.

"You saw everything?" Sophia asked with a tense look on her face.
