This week reading was so good. How they they left me on such cliffhanger. I don’t want to read ahead but…

Anyway I’m impressed that リラん can now communicate with エリン and even understand grammar to be able to use it in a way that he hasn’t learned. I don’t know if I should be happy or scared. If my cat suddenly starts talking I will creep out. It is nice that they can communicate and help each other. The part where they were flying has awakened the children in me. I was so excited… well until エリン almost died from the cold. I predicted that he would fly when there was the earthquake and the ground below them was crumbling. I just forgot that エリン might have trouble flying in winter at high altitude. In the end, the old man is probably the one エサレ spoke about. At first, I read what he said as “you are John’s daughter” instead of ソヨン. It seems he is from アリオン and I wonder what he wants and what is his relation to ソヨン. I got the terminator vibe from his last sentence. “come with me if you want to live” kinda. Instead it “come with me we need to talk” so many questions and I have to wait a week for it.

I also really enjoyed the chapter. What happened was obvious (due to the chapter title), but it was still interesting seeing how it would happen. I also really want to keep reading, but I’ll be good and find something else to do. :innocent:

Well that was an intense ending. Did not see that coming right after リラン flew for the first time. And I was all smug like “Well, it’s not like he’d dare get close to エリン with this huge 王獣 being there to protect her” but then… :scream:
Now I’m worried. I’d like to think it’s not an ‘enemy’ but I can’t trust anyone that uses an 音無し笛 anymore.
