The Cathedral Church of Eldoria was as lively as ever, filled with people coming and going in steady waves of prayer.
Some recognized Asher—their male S-rank hunter—and waved as they passed.
At last, he stepped inside, Rin and Anna at his sides.
Almost immediately, his eyes found Priestess Seraphina. She was lighting candles at the altar, her figure framed in soft golden light. Asher approached her with a grin.
"Priestess... looking as divine as ever, I see," he purred, his gaze wandering. She wore a flowing white gown—loose and ethereal everywhere except where it strained against the curves of her chest, a stark contrast to the sacred surroundings.
"If it isn't the pride of Eldoria. It's been a while, Asher Reynolds." She extended a hand, which Asher took with a firm squeeze.
"Feels like an eternity," he replied.
