Thus, Ais was chosen.
Aside from the Lv.7s, among the remaining first-level adventurers, Ais was undoubtedly the strongest.
Having her protect Revilia was indeed most fitting.
"To you, Revilia is already no different from a mother, right?"
Reiger seemed able to see through what was on Ais's mind, suddenly chuckled, and said.
"In that case, this time you should protect your second mother well, don't be powerless like last time when your own mother passed away."
These words thoroughly ignited Ais's resolve.
"...I know."
Ais's expression became unwaveringly resolute.
"I will."
Saying so, Ais put the necklace around her neck.
In the moonlight, the necklace engraved with mysterious runes and patterns emitted an incredible radiance, causing Ais, the wearer, to feel a sudden clarity, as if all her worries had vanished, feeling unprecedentedly good.
"Eldo's Tears..."
Reaching out, she touched the necklace hanging around her neck, bringing Ais a certain sense of belief.
