Neither answered.
Instead, Scarlett and Elira exchanged a brief glance.
Something had changed in their expressions.
Scarlett's hand moved toward her waist, while Elira's fingers curled around the hilt of her sword.
SHING!
Two blades emerged from their scabbards.
Gray raised an eyebrow.
"...Hmm?"
Scarlett stood slightly ahead of Elira, her ruby eyes fixed on him with the tip of her sword pointed toward the ground, clutching the handle tightly.
Elira had taken a position several steps away, keeping enough distance to react if Gray suddenly moved.
For a few seconds, neither spoke.
Then Scarlett finally broke the silence.
"...Gray."
"Yes, Princess?"
"You're not really an Incubus, are you?"
Gray remained silent.
Elira looked at him, then at the bodies scattered across the clearing.
