Annabelle was standing inside the gymnasium.
There was something that made her curious.
Her Darling mentioned getting involved in a battle.
Last night, a battle happened here too.
She investigated and asked a few questions of the students. And it turned out that only four teachers were actually engaged in battle. The fifth was nearly useless after the first explosion.
She cross-checked and got the same answer.
The world was big, yes. She knew that out there her Darling might have fought another battle, yes.
However, there was a chance too, right? That the only Runesmith who fought on the school grounds last night...could be her...
"Anna?" Ruby's voice broke her trance as she turned to look at her.
"Ruby, tell me something...how good of a Runesmith your crush is?"
Ruby's eyes widened as she hurriedly approached her and reprimanded, "Don't just casually regard him as my crush."
"Doesn't matter. Just tell me." Annabelle insisted.
