"Iluna, how did you end up here? I remember your team was entering from the northeastern part of the Pantanal Swamp."
Shard also hugged Iluna, feeling relieved. No matter what, it was wonderful to encounter Iluna under such circumstances.
The place where he and the witches entered the swamp was the southeastern part. Even after veering off course due to encountering the Child of the Invisible a few hours ago, he shouldn't have ended up this far off.
Iluna, with a slightly flushed face, released Shard, looking up at him with an uncontrollable smile:
"We were ambushed, and I accidentally got separated from the group. So I summoned this horse to try to catch up."
The thick fog earlier was obviously meant to separate the teams.
