"The unowned shell you wanted, I brought it here. Everyone saw me throw that shell outside the World Tree... I endured a lot of pressure. This should be enough, right?"

As Yila rubbed his temples and spoke, the serpentine woman didn't seem particularly grateful. Instead, she mocked the shell, "Wow! It's so ugly. But at least the body is intact; it's not a waste of the time you spent finding it."
*So you do know I've been looking for a long time! Then stop complaining about this and that... Ah, right!*
"Speaking of which, you must have been watching me all along, right?"
Facing Yila's suspicion, the serpentine woman raised her eyebrows and, without any intention of denying it, nodded, saying, "Yeah, I've always been concerned about your safety... to avoid any accidents."
*As if you could fly over and save me if something happened to me...*
