Chapter 78

20th day of the fourth month. Fourth week of summer. 1980 Yiama's Era. Lakeview, Lumin Kingdom.

I sat on the front yard of a cabin we rented a few days prior. The lounge chair was pretty comfortable, I admit. The summer heat was not as overpowering as I expected since Lapia said it'd be 50º outside. Well, her super spell didn't face me much, so I guess that's that.

The sound of ice hitting glass coming from my right made me turn.

Alyssa was sunbathing next to me on a lounge chair of her own. Her reptilian nature may influence her tastes as to the suns, I guessed. She brought a glass of fruit juice to her lips and took a sip.

"Haaa…" she sighed with a wide smile. "This is the life. Day off, sunbathing, reading a book."

We were both wearing swimsuits. I made the colossal sacrifice of offering the group summer-wear from my storage.

I'm such a martyr.
