Drawing To A Close, Prelude

"Ho?"

Seeing Leo momentarily lost in thought just like she was a second ago, Yeon called out to him amidst the battle cries and the clashing of weapons, bringing him back to reality.

"Let's go back."

'That's right, I'm still me.'

Although Leo had no control over plot points like the forced death of the Heavenly Demon, he had all there was to say when it came to himself. This might be his third life, but it was his to live. As the Heavenly Demon had said, no matter how the circumstances force someone to make a choice, it is still the person who makes the choice!

Running back into the chaos, Leo snuck a glance at Geochin only for their gazes to meet. They had grabbed quite a lot of attention by rushing out of the frontlines, so it was only expected for him to stare at them considering his particular interest in Yeon.

However, neither Leo nor Yeon paid him any attention aside from Leo's quick glance. The war was still ongoing and the threat of the monsters didn't change.
