Badak's appearance hadn't changed compared to what Charlotte remembered.
A thousand years ago it was so, and a thousand years later it remained the same.
But when Charlotte heard how the other addressed her, she froze in place.
"Savior… huh?"
She couldn't help but look towards him.
Badak smiled naively,
"Sorry, Savior, although you've stressed many times that calling you by your name would suffice, you are, after all, the hero who saved us, who saved the entire city-state."
"It is you who brought the power of the Transcendent; in my heart, Lord Lilith, you will always be our Savior."
Charlotte hesitated.
Although that initial address of "Savior" had made her heart skip a beat, the words that followed calmed her down.
She looked at Badak with a respectful demeanor and sighed,
"I'd like to go out for a walk, could you… accompany me for a while?"
Badak bowed respectfully,
"I shall follow your command."
…
Charlotte left the Tower, wandering through the city streets.
