“······Miss Shin Se-hee, wh-what should I do?”

Just moments before Utopia encountered the enemy,
Lee Min-young whispered to Shin Se-hee with a trembling voice.

“I really… never thought I’d end up as the caster all of a sudden… I thought I’d be going into the gate instead…”
“Hmm─”

Shin Se-hee lifted her gaze from the orb, lightly tapping her lips, and stared at Lee Min-young.

“Miss Lee Min-young.”
“Yes…?”
“You used to be a very passionate person, didn’t you?”
“P-Passionate?”
“Why, there was a time when you threw yourself into everything with burning enthusiasm. Didn’t you once devote yourself to the value of justice to the point of self-sacrifice? But lately, you haven’t been showing that side of yourself.”
“······Y-Yes, th-that’s true…”

Lee Min-young nodded her head hesitantly.

She was embarrassed, but there was indeed a time when she was like a wild foal, charging forward recklessly in pursuit of ‘justice.’
