To Return You

Since that bad dream, Katelina developed a phobia of sleeping. She feared having that kind of dream again. She didn't tell Asura about this fear because she didn't want to worry her friend, and so days passed with her being sleep deprived.

Right now, she had a schedule to check the northern territory. She wanted to personally deliver relief goods to the people affected by famine due to the monsters in the area. Her soldiers, with the assistance of Commander Cora and her team, managed to clear the area of monsters, but there was still much left to do—rebuilding, providing medical assistance to the wounded, and delivering relief goods to address the famine.

She and Cora were still on the journey, traveling in a special carriage designed to let passengers sleep comfortably throughout the trip. Asura had already fallen asleep, but Katelina remained awake. Asura was surprised to see Katelina still awake when she herself woke up.
