Final Battle (17)

"I didn't defeat anyone that could use time magic before… is it because Luneria is my ally?" Ethan rubbed his chin thoughtfully. 

In any case, Ethan bought and enhanced that set for Emily as well. She was completely astonished when she saw it… Maybe with that, she could reach her goal of repairing the relationship with her parents.

"... I keep owing you favors…" Emily said and then sighed. "What am I going to do about this?" 

"You can start by stopping asking my sister about my three sizes," Ethan replied.

"It is almost virtually impossible to have a serious conversation with you," Emily said. "Still, I will repay the favor someday."

Amidst the tension and impending battle, Ethan stood before his friends, his gaze steady and his voice filled with a mix of determination and humor. With a mischievous twinkle in his eye, he knew that in moments like these, a bit of levity could lighten the heavy atmosphere and bolster their spirits.
