Claude looked impressed, which made Anise even happier. “Eheh… well, it doesn’t take that much for me to use Tokunaga. Once we get out of this tunnel, I’d like to give my big artes a try!” It was going to be hard to be patient when she was so eager to see if she was at full power, but it would be hard to see an arte’s full effects in a narrow area… and there were also the dangers of people getting caught in the arte, or the tunnel collapsing…

Yeah, she could wait a little longer.

Guy’s comment was met with a wide grin. “If you get tired, maybe I can carry you,” she teased back at him.

The idea that they were out of the institute’s sphere of influence was an encouraging one, but Anise wasn’t sure she could believe it just yet. This could still be an elaborate setup for a trap. But despite her skepticism, she had to admit… after all those weeks of being helpless, it felt really, really good to have so much power at her disposal again.

For now, it looked like they were going back to walking. Anise used the straps of her shopping bag to tie it to Tokunaga’s neck, letting the doll carry all the weight of her supplies. Now she could just sit back and make herself comfortable for the rest of the trek.
