<span style="font-weight:400">"..." Did he really go? Peer disbelief resided on Scarlet''s face as she thought.
<span style="font-weight:400">Three days had passed since Keith had missed ss. That was why her heart churned. Everyone on his ind was calm for the most part, and she was the only one feeling something.
<span style="font-weight:400">No! The thought kepting to Scarlet''s mind; Keith was lying in a pool of his own blood. That thought kepting to her mind. It was the same situation that happened to Selk. She quickly grabbed all the equipment she had. The demons who saw how she rushed out were shocked. Her speed was so quick that no one could have reacted to that! Even if they did, Scarlet would have waved them off.
<span style="font-weight:400">She headed to the gates of the city.
<span style="font-weight:400">"I need to borrow a horse." Before the coachman could even reply, Scarlet had tossed the coins at him. She jumped on a horse and quickly dashed off.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Wait, you gave me too much!" The coachman shouted. Scarlet had tossed him a couple of gold coins. But the girl didn''t care as she went forward.
<span style="font-weight:400">The only thing on her mind was to get there.
<span style="font-weight:400">...
<span style="font-weight:400">She rode the horse for two days straight. In that short timeframe, Scarlet''s expression changed into a dreary one. That was all due to how she went about; no drinking or eating. There were no stops or breaks as she forced the horse to continue. I''m almost there.
<span style="font-weight:400">Despite her tiredness, she could tell she was close to where Keith was.
<span style="font-weight:400">And she was correct as a few feet away, she spotted something dark. A tent? Getting closer, Scarlet realized in front of her was a camp. Jumping down, she touched the burnt wood. It''s slightly hot. That meant someone was here.
<span style="font-weight:400">Keith was here. Knowing that there was a campfire right around her brought her relief. But that soon came the problem.
<span style="font-weight:400">"BZZZ!" What soon came after was a ringing sounding from the back! When she turned around, her expression widened. That was because in front of her was a bee. It was the size of a fowl.
<span style="font-weight:400">Scarlet quickly raised her staff, prepared for a fight. She cast her fire magic. It seemed the dragon bee was careless. However, there was an oversight.
<span style="font-weight:400">"What?!" Her magic didn''t hit the dragon bee at all. It was way off target,nding into a tree. Riding for so long without any break had dulled her reaction and powers.
<span style="font-weight:400">That was not the worst of it.
<span style="font-weight:400">"BZZZ!" The dragon bee made a low sound. It had perceived Scarlet as an enemy. It charged at the girl, and thetter raised her staff to guard. But she was not a vanguard.
<span style="font-weight:400">The bee''s strength was much higher, sending Scarlet into a tree.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Gah!" Scalet looked up to see the bee approaching her, ready to deal the final blow. However, Scarlet didn''t cry or whine. She epted it. This was retribution for what she did.
<span style="font-weight:400">I''m sorry. Scarlet wanted to say this to two people. Before the bee could go in for the kill,
<span style="font-weight:400">"Woah! Stop!" A voice quickly shouted. That was the only snippet as she fainted.
<span style="font-weight:400">...
<span style="font-weight:400">"Ugh." Scarlet slowly sniffed the air as she slowly woke up. As she did, she looked around. Where am I? And why does it smell so good? The smell around her was incredible. But then she noticed someone by the fire.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Oh, good. You''re awake." Keith smiled.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Keith!" Scarlet blinked as she tried to get up. But that caused her face to twist.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Don''t try to move. You got hit hard."
<span style="font-weight:400">"..."
<span style="font-weight:400">"What?"
<span style="font-weight:400">"I get it. We''re dead, right?"
<span style="font-weight:400">"Huh?" Keith''s eyes twitched as he retorted, "We''re not dead." Aren''t you in pain?
<span style="font-weight:400">"We''re not?!"
<span style="font-weight:400">"Yes, we''re not." This girl had some weird ideas going through her mind. But then he questioned, "So why did youe here? Also, have some of this." Keith was about to hand her some soup when she grabbed his cor!
<span style="font-weight:400">"You idiot! Why did youe here?!" Scarlet roared in his face. But that only confused the guy even more!
<span style="font-weight:400">"What do you mean?! You said you needed dragon honey for your friend. I came here to get it?!" Did she forget?! How could she be this scatterbrained?
<span style="font-weight:400">"You didn''t have toe. It''s dangerous." One person could not deal with the dragon beehive.
<span style="font-weight:400">"But you said your friend was in danger, so I''m going to help out."
<span style="font-weight:400">"..." ...Just because I said that?
<span style="font-weight:400">"I know it must have been difficult trying to keep everything in. It''s probably even more so when asking me to help. But don''t worry about it. You''re my friend. So I will help out whatever I can." Keith always thought of Scarlet as his friend.
<span style="font-weight:400">Scarlet''s expression widened when she heard that. You think of me as your friend? When that was said, something in her shouted,
<span style="font-weight:400">"I lied!"
<span style="font-weight:400">"Huh?"
<span style="font-weight:400">"I lied about my friend being in danger! I was the one who caused the rumors about you being a womanizer! When we were working together, I tried to singe you! I did all of that! I was the one who caused all the trouble you have!"
<span style="font-weight:400">Hate me. Just hate me.
<span style="font-weight:400">Everyone had a moment of silence. And it was expected. What Scarlet revealed was something anyone would be livid about. And yet.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Oh, thank goodness!"
