Kael looked surprised but answered firmly, "Ah… yes. If Raffy gets into trouble, I'll be there to support him."
Feeling encouraged by their words, Rafayel decided it was time to confess something else he had kept hidden from them.
Father… these two are trustworthy friends. Finally, I can keep the promise I made back then…!
He cleared his throat and said, "Um, there's actually one more thing I've been keeping from you…"
"Oh? We thought there might be something," Elia said.
"Yeah… it wouldn't be surprising if there was, after everything we've been through," Kael chuckled.
"Ehh… now that you say that, it's hard to bring up… I'm sorry I kept it a secret until now… Father told me to keep quiet about it, but… Besides water magic, I can also use light magic."
At that moment, their eyes widened. Elia shouted, "Really!?" while Kael was so stunned he couldn't even speak.
