Hearing Sidi's somewhat surprised words, everyone else turned their eyes toward Elliog, who was sitting at the entrance of the Seeking Knowledge Gate. Feeling the others' almost tangible gaze, even with Elliog's wheat-colored skin, she couldn't hide the faint pink spreading across her face.
Moli, who had just barely eaten her fill by Elliog's side, pressed her lips together and also averted her eyes a little in embarrassment. Even the bit of jealous possessiveness she'd felt earlier shrank back, because if they were being honest, that punishment chance earlier had been Elliog giving it up to her...
But there was no need to feel guilty—she was exercising this chance for her own sake. Even if Rafael were the one choosing between her and this unknown Demon God, she would definitely pick herself... right?
Moli thought this with some embarrassment, not even sure whether this embarrassment was toward Rafael or toward someone else.
