Ivy studied Bella for a moment before raising an eyebrow.
"You seem to take his side quite often. Is it possible that you, Bella, actually..."
Bella immediately shook her head.
"I do not have a particularly good impression of him, but I am constantly worried about you."
Ivy paused before a small smile appeared on her face.
"Thank you for thinking about me."
Bella shook her head gently. "Ivy, just take care of yourself."
With that, she stood up, but before leaving, she hesitated.
Her fingers briefly tightened around the edge of her sleeve as she looked at Ivy with an uncertain expression.
"Ivy, this time I heard that the reason Silas fought with you was because of Nanami. I genuinely think that it is unsafe for us to continue traveling with Nanami."
Ivy's expression became slightly more serious. "I will consider it."
Bella visibly relaxed and let out a quiet sigh of relief. "As long as you keep it in mind, that is enough."
