With Dominic's sword strapped to his back, he was almost ready, but then he paused and opened the drawer of his desk.
Inside were many magic stones, glowing faintly in red, blue, and other colors.
He picked up a few and stuffed them into his pants pocket.
This was a world of magic.
Since he had no magic power of his own, there might come a time when those stones would be useful.
After being fully equipped and ready, Shiao Yi teleported back to the forest, into the unknown wilderness where the next part of his search would begin.
...
As Dominic watched the woman walk toward him, he erased all emotion from his face.
Showing open disgust or rejection would not be wise.
Still, he had no intention of pretending to be friendly either.
He simply returned to being who he once was.
Perhaps because he had been with Shiao Yi for so long, the sensation felt distant and unfamiliar, almost nostalgic.
