The space was simple, featuring a dried-up fountain, a small pond, and unassuming wildflowers blooming close to the ground.
What is this place?
Rocco wondered while looking around the area.
It seemed strangely out of place for the grandeur of the Del Fiore estate.
As he quietly advanced, his eyes caught sight of a small gazebo a short distance ahead.
Its white, ethereal design fit more seamlessly with the estate's elegant atmosphere, which exuding a mystical charm.
Creeping cautiously through the bushes, Rocco peeked out and spotted a faint silhouette within the gazebo.
Narrowing his eyes to get a better look, he confirmed it was Laxus before he quickly come closer to him.
The full moon shone brilliantly above the gazebo, casting a soft glow.
As Rocco approached him, he suddenly noticed the figure inside sway unsteadily, causing him to freeze mid-step.
"Hm? What's going on…?"
It wasn't his imagination.
