Shadow Slave

Chapter 55

When they returned to the makeshift camp, the first thing that Nephis did was come up to Cassie.

“Hey, Cas. Guess what.”

The blind girl turned to her and smiled:

“You’ve finally received an armor-type Memory?”

Simultaneously, Nephis said:

“I found something decent to wear…”

Then she fell silent and stared at her smiling friend. Cassie laughed:

“The sound of your footsteps changed.”

Changing Star blinked.

“Ah. I see. Well… it’s from the Carapace Centurion.”

While she was describing the armor to Cassia and letting her touch the mysterious white metal it was forged out of, Sunny relaxed and rested by the fire.

Some time later, Nephis was busy preparing dinner. Sunny was once again lying lazily on the stones and staring into the sky.

The sky, like always, was grey and unfriendly.

With all three of them equipped with decent armor, they were finally starting to resemble a real Awakened cohort. In fact, Sunny thought that their group was rather eye-catching even by Awakened standards.

In her light tunic and sea-wave cloak, beautiful and delicate Cassie looked like a princess. Lithe and poised, Nephis was like a noble knight tasked with protecting her. Sunny, however…

If he was generous to himself, he would say that he looked like a young squire.

But truthfully, he resembled a page boy a lot more — at best. If a random stranger were to see the three of them, that stranger would most likely assume that Sunny was either a lowly servant or a feeble ruffian that had been captured by the noble lady’s guard.
