The Last Moment as Allies
The next morning.
—tain.
...Captain!
Captain, wake up!
Coo!
What happened?
Fei... Senior Sister Fei is...!
Fei? What happened to her?
...She's gone.
She only left a note behind.
To Lyn, Serpang, Toto, and the Captain.
Our temporary alliance ends here.
Now that only Tien and Xien remain, there's no reason to maintain it.
And I don't care for overwhelming the enemy through sheer numbers.
Which is why I'll face the two of them alone.
I'll return after I win. There's still something we need to settle among ourselves.
So don't worry. Wait until I return.
...Looks like there's still space left on this paper. Maybe I'll write down what I wanted to say.
Serpang. Stop eating so many snacks. Sleep less. Train harder.
Toto. Be more strict with Serpang. If she strays from the right path, you must guide her back.
Captain. Our meeting was brief, but I think it will stay with me. Next time we meet, I'll tell you about the Celestial Art.
Lastly, Lyn.
...This is harder than I thought.
I have so much to say that I don't know where to begin. So I'll keep it to two things.
It was good to see you again.
I'm sorry for leaving without saying goodbye.
And finally.
Take care...
That's three things, Fei.
And you said you'd come back, but why does it sound like a farewell...?
She must have gone to the eastern bamboo forest! Let's hurry and go after her!
...
Senior Sister Lyn...!
Coo...!
What do you want to do, Lyn?
I...
...You've come.
Where are the others?
We had a bit of a falling out.
I'll face the two of you alone.
Just you against the two of us? How arrogant...!
Hah! Sparring with masters is the best form of training!
I can't share such a valuable opportunity with anyone else.
Hmm...
Then who might those people be who just arrived?
What...?
Senior Sister Fei!
Coo!
We made it in time.
Serpang? Toto? Captain...!
Why did you come? I clearly wrote in the note—
You said the temporary alliance was over.
...Lyn.
But that was only your decision.
When we formed the alliance, you said it would last until this matter was resolved.
Which means the temporary alliance is still valid.
Hah!
...Are you finished talking?
Yes. Thank you for waiting.
So it's the five of you against us? Even then, if Tien and I fight together—
No. It will be Lyn and me. Just the two of us.
Overwhelming the few with the many is not the Wind Moon Sect's way.
And Fei. You do understand what happens once this is over, don't you?
Yes. I'll have to settle things with you as well. I know.
To be able to keep sparring against formidable opponents...
Lucky me.
Xien!
Understood, Tien.
They're coming. Get ready.
Right. For now...
Let's deal with the enemy in front of us!
