On the other side,
Witch Cesi, accompanied by her two students—Narlyd and Heidi—was unaware that the person they had helped was now in even worse shape than before they lent their assistance. They were currently walking toward the city center.
On a street in the central district, in front of an imposing Stone Building, Cesi halted her steps and reached out to knock on the door.
"Knock, knock, knock..."
With a creak, the door opened, and a tall woman in a yellow dress stepped out. She glanced at Cesi, about to ask a question, then blinked several times as if she recognized something, and exclaimed with delight, "Cesi, is it you?"
"It's me, Ilev," Witch Cesi replied softly.
"This is such a surprise!" the woman in yellow called out, "I thought you would stay on the East Coast and never come back."
