The Moonlight Swordsman (XXXIII)

"Hah..."

Taking a deep breath, I adjusted my gloves slightly.

A full day had passed since I'd adopted Chaerin, and now it was finally time to end this damned Death Tournament.

From the information that Yara gave them, all of them are low s-rank awakeners, which will be quite difficult to deal with.

At least Chaerin was safe.

I had made sure to hide her from Yara—because honestly? I didn't trust Yara not to take an interest in her.

And knowing her, "interest" could mean anything.

So for now, Chaerin was running around the black market with Lumi.

She was strong enough to handle herself, and anyone dumb enough to mess with her was in for a very bad day.

Besides, thanks to the Family Bond magic, I could sense her location and whether she was in danger.

That was one less thing to worry about.

"Are you ready~?"

A familiar, sultry voice rang out from my right.
