The one speaking was the tall, slender young girl in the prime of youth. At this moment, even her icy aura, which seemed as though it had never thawed since ancient times, revealed a trace of astonishment, and her tone was one of questioning as well.
Beside her, the purple-robed girl with the sword on her back turned her head, the expression on her face equally filled with doubt. A faint cold glint shot out from her beautiful large eyes.

"Hmph, idiot."
