“......”

Grid’s group entered the temple and was already busy. Noe used his Treasures and spells to prepare for an enemy attack while Grid used his God Hands to build a barrier to seal off the entrance. He was trying to stop Asura’s pursuit, if only for a moment. Marie Rose stared at him as he took out a potion and drank it.

“My dear husband, don’t do that again.”

Marie Rose’s gaze rested on Grid’s ankle. It looked awful. The Treasures that Asura had sent toward him had shattered his Achilles tendon. If Marie Rose hadn’t used blood magic to help Grid, his entire leg would’ve been torn off.

“What?”

“What...?” Marie Rose’s facial expression became unusually cold as she repeated what Grid had said back to him. Since she was always so relaxed, the impression she gave off completely changed when all she did was just narrow her eyebrows slightly.

Nevertheless, Grid didn’t raise an eyebrow. It seemed like he really didn’t know what he did wrong. Marie Rose sighed.

“Don’t neglect yourself to protect me. Do you think I can’t take care of myself?”

Just now, Grid had thrown himself toward Marie Rose before entering the temple. In the process, he left himself exposed and got seriously wounded by Asura.

“Um...”

Grid recalled the situation in detail. Certainly, there was no reason for him to do something like that. He hadn’t taken Marie Rose’s skills into account. If Grid had escaped toward the entrance of the temple by himself, Marie Rose would’ve followed him in no time. She could definitely do that given her quickness and agility.

“I’m sorry. That was my fault. But I didn’t do it because I didn’t trust you. I just acted instinctively. Don’t get me wrong.”

“You acted instinctively...?”

Marie Rose’s expression became a bit serious. She wondered if Asura had performed some kind of trickery to make Grid move without thinking.

Grid let out a laugh.

“I was afraid the woman I love would get hurt. Even though I clearly know what you’re capable of, I acted without realizing it because I was worried.”

“What does that... You are foolish.”

Marie Rose’s expression was still cold. However, her eyes were trembling slightly. She was confused. She was the strongest among the Absolutes. Grid was worried about her even though she could match Chiyou for a while if they fought? She couldn’t understand Grid’s feelings at all. What she didn’t understand even more was her own heart.
