Chapter 62: Demons

"Everything set, Lily?" Leo asked.
Lily turned to him with a bright grin, her eyes sparkling with excitement.
"Yes!" she said, patting the travel bag strapped to her back.
"All the High 1-star Treant cores—done! Mana crystals—done! Dried jerky—done! Water—done! And finally—"
She caught the hilt of her sword, gripping it firmly.
"My weapon—done!" she declared with a proud grin.
Maybe it was because this was her first real adventure, but Lily seemed unusually excited. Her whole face seemed to be glowing with enthusiasm.
Leo chuckled, reaching out to ruffle her hair before giving it a light pat. Her cheeks flushed instantly, and she puffed them in a cute pout—clearly enjoying the gesture, even if she refused to admit it.
"Good girl," Leo said with a warm smile.
Lily's expression softened for a moment, but soon it was replaced with concern.
"But will you be fine, Leo? You gave me way too many mana crystals. What if you run out?"
