Going Back.

Felix exited the underground path and found Steve leaning against the wall, waiting for him there.

There was a proud smile on his face like a teacher looking at his favorite student.

He pushed himself away from the wall and spoke.

"Nice battle out ther-"

"I want to do it again!"

Just when he was about to congratulate him, Felix interrupted.

Steve tilted his head in confusion and asked back.

"Hmm? What do you want to do again?"

Felix licked his slightly dry lips and told with a hungry look in his eyes.

"I want to battle again..."

Staring at the boy's eyes, Steve felt hopeless. He sighed and reminded him.

"Felix, are you forgetting we have to go back somewhere now?"

Knotting his brows, Felix thought for a few seconds and remembered.

"Oh, it's time to return to the guild already? I couldn't even realize," he exclaimed in surprise.

Nodding in understanding, Steve replied.
