Xu Yanwu simply picked An up, ignored her struggles, tucked her under his arm, and prepared to return to his room.
"Um... Little Sakura."
Just as he was about to leave, Xu Yanwu suddenly turned back.
Xu Yanwu looked at Yae Sakura and said, "About Kallen... don't be too anxious for now."

Higu Maru climbed up from the floor. With a leap, her enormous body turned into Yae Sakura's shadow and slipped into it.
