"Ouch!" Aske cried out in pain, "What are you doing!?"
"I'm leaving the team to restore my kingdom, and that's all the reaction I get from you, so in the team, I'm just a tool, huh?" Thira said, seething with anger.
Normally, she presented herself as calm, composed, and intelligent, rarely displaying such a petulant attitude typical of a young girl. However, for some reason, recalling Aske's indifferent "Oh, I know" earlier, Thira was filled with anger she couldn't vent anywhere.
"How could you be just a tool?" Aske hurriedly said in a placating tone, "You're an important Arcane Mage in our team!"
"That's it?" Thira was even angrier. That's not the answer I wanted to hear!!!
"What else?" Aske asked, perplexed.
The price for this wrong answer was another vicious pinch from Thira.
"Stop pinching, let me think!" Aske said helplessly, so Thira crossed her arms and sulked in silence.
"Uh..." Aske thought for a long time, "Can you give me a hint?"
