154 You don’t have any plans after the Tournament, do you?

"Elara, how have you been? Did you miss me? I missed talking to you."

Elric spoke as he sat next to Elara and held her hands.

"Brother Elric…" Elara greeted with a smile on her face. "I have been well. What about you?"

"Hahaha~ I am doing quite good as well. Now even better since I got to talk with you! How long has it been since we have talked like this without anyone bothering us?"

Elric questioned.

"It has been a while, yes." Elara nodded politely but at the same time, she tried to move back and free her hand.

For some reason, Elric didn't seem like his usual self today. Usually, he is gentle and easy to talk to, he only listened while Elara talked to him, today, however, Elric seemed… a bit too aggressive?

Elara didn't know how to put it in words, but she felt strange as Elric continued to hold her hand.
