195: A pond, not a lake

"Ugh. The weather is a nightmare today. My hair is going to get wet again." Venus complained. The weather was bad. The sky could not even be seen beneath the mass of black clouds covering it.

"It looks like the gods are angry at us. I don't have a good feeling about this." Yuuki's eyes were focused on the sky.

Their blue stood out to Maria. It might have been her imagination, but Maria was sure she saw magic swirl in the beast's eyes.

"That's a lot of magic. I've never seen this much magic gathering in the sky before." Yuuki continued. He seemed to have been hypnotized by the swirling magic.

Maria could feel the magic but she had no idea what it meant. She only knew that it was because she had tricked the upper-realm woman into coming here.

"Should we take shelter inside the cave again? It won't help us to get caught in the storm." Maria observed. The storm gave her a bad feeling.
