"Ok, everything is ready," I said as soon as we finished our preparations for the fight. "So let's get this over with."
"Be careful, Rick," Alicia said to me. I patted her hair, touching the silky strands. It would be her first time fighting, but she was more worried about my safety. 'So I should bring her a win.'
"I'm always careful. I'll be counting on you too, Alicia. You're a crucial part of our plan, so I'll be depending on you during and after this battle." I said this, putting my trust in my Saintess Valkyrie. Her expression became as serious as she could, nodding to me.
Erina and Justine nodded to me too. Their faces carried a more relaxed expression. Maybe they were starting to believe we could win.
'If I'm not wrong, the Sheep that I fought was a D-Rank, so I'm fighting an even stronger beast now. And I have to face it as a frontliner. What a pain.' I thought inwardly.
