"So… you are finally here, huh, Young Trickster?"
A voice echoed in my ears.
The world around me was made of abstract shapes and mana and I couldn't tell where one ended and the other began.
Zuka was pulling me along with her while Arza followed behind me, her hand holding mine but neither of them reacted to the voice.
I looked towards them, waiting for even a slight change in their expressions but Zuka continued as if she didn't hear anything while Arza's attention only turned toward me when I opened my mouth.
"Who… are you?"
Both of them looked at me weirdly.
"Who are you talking to?"
I ignored the question and waited for the voice to reply because whoever had spoken did call me Young Trickster, so I doubted those words were meant for anyone else.
But even after waiting for a few minutes, there was no answer or explanation. Just as I was beginning to wonder if I would hear it again or if it was just my hallucination, it echoed in my mind.
