A moment later, an emotionless voice sounded as we made eye contact.
"I got the mana. I win."
Suddenly, for a brief second, the sadness consuming and slowly eating at me vanished, replaced by a bittersweet smile.
My mouth forcibly opened and let out a chuckle.
I had just woken up, and that was the first thing she decided to say?
She had just seen me cry while sleeping, and her first thought was to admit she had stolen the mana from me?
Her snow-white hair blew back as she kneeled mere centimeters away from me, looking down at my face with the same expression as always, like a stone statue.
As I continued silently staring at her, not having enough energy to even speak, Evangel confusedly tilted her head.
After a couple more seconds passed, I regained feeling in most of my body, except for my legs, but I didn't dare to speak.
How could I after my words before the mana gate?
