trong as you, but don’t you dare think I won’t be useful.” Ana drew closer to Kuzon and elevated her height to the best of her ability by standing on the tip of her toes.
Something about Ana’s determination caused the boy to be curious.
‘I’m desperate to find my uncle, so I need information.
Besides, this Fairy has been bothering me for some time.
But…’
“… What is your motive? Why are you so interested in this mission?” Kuzon asked the young girl.
Their faces were so close to each other—limited only by Ana’s inability to reach further above due to her restrained height.
“I…” Her eyes seemed distracted as she looked away.
She probably didn’t know how to say what was in her thoughts.
It was something embarrassing, as well as something she was fighting against.
How could she say something like that?
“I… want to further my knowledge and research.
Beruel has technology and information I need too.
You’ll probably kill him, so I want to get as much as I can.” Ultimately, Ana lied.
Sure, she wanted all those things, but they weren’t her primary motivation when it came to this particular scenario
Kuzon could easily help her ask the questions she wanted, and he could obtain the technology she desired.
She could even watch what was going on by having an Automaton or a Golem of hers follow Kuzon—instead of going physically.
In essence, her presence wasn’t necessary to achieve her supposed goal.
Thus, there was something else.
Kuzon must have also realized this, but he didn’t say any more.
Understanding that Ana would rather keep her true motivation hidden, he sighed and backed off from her.
“You have the Spell Card, right? Please be ready to activate it at all times.”
Upon hearing those words which were literally synonymous with a ‘Yes’, Ana’s face brightened up.
“We leave in an hour.
You can shower and rest up before then.”
