"Then, I’ll be on my way."

With my bag slung over my shoulder, I finished my preparations to return to the estate and turned to bid farewell to Elicia and Hans.

"Shall I escort you?"

Elicia smiled gently, offering to see me off, saying there was no need to worry. With her ability to traverse space, I’d arrive at the estate in just three minutes.

For a moment, I was tempted, but I shook my head lightly and declined. Given my natural resistance to dark magic, stepping into Elicia’s spatial domain might cause unexpected complications.

"I truly appreciate the offer, but I’ll have to pass. My... condition is a bit unusual."
"Indeed, if you were to enter my space, there’s no telling what might happen."
"Haha... I’ll keep it in mind for emergencies."

I expressed my gratitude to Elicia for her kindness before turning to Hans with a smile.
