Then, remembering her own actions in the labyrinth, she grit her teeth.
She thought that Rudi was free and took the initiative.
She had wanted to make a good impression, but she was not treated as an obstacle because she was merely an acquaintance in the end.
It must have been laughable and ridiculous, being right beside him.
She wanted to scream, [Why didn't anybody tell me this?!]
But, she kept the complaint to the back of her throat.
Right now she wasn't worrying about herself.
"B, But, even though he's married, this is an emergency, surely even once would be fine?"
Roxy did not even understand what she herself was saying.
Just that she felt that she wanted Rudeus to get better again.
"...Maybe that is so, but I cannot do it."
Elinalize said that with some frustration.
Even seeing her frustrated face, Roxy could not understand her feelings.
"...Here you go."
"Ah, thanks."
There was the drink that she had ordered.
Roxy stirred the mug, then drank it all in one go.
A burning sensation spread in her bone-dried throat.
It was frighteningly tasty, showing that the body really wanted that alcohol.
"Besides, for me to Rudeus..."
Elinalize closed her mouth there.
