Chimera Ants (13)

I really did almost have a heart attack when I saw Cecilia acting this way.

I had thought that I would be able to trust her with this, but it seemed like I had been too negligent.

At the very least, I should have given her something that would have kept her safe even if the others were hurt.

No, that was the wrong way to think…

I was only thinking that way since I was scared of the fact that I had almost lost her. It was making me think in ways that I shouldn't be thinking.

But when I saw that ant almost pierce her with its pincers, my heart almost jumped out of my chest.

Cecilia had been in a daze the whole time as I held her before she lowered her head to say, "I'm sorry, I was being reckless."

However, she didn't stay like that for long as she remembered that they were still surrounded by the ants. She didn't have time to remain idle as the ants could attack at any moment.
