She hurried over in a few quick steps, reached out, and naturally linked arms with Mepeilu.
Aust: his expression turned darker. It looked like there was no way to resolve things today.
Mepeilu: after a moment of confusion, she smiled brightly and happily held onto Liana’s small hand.
Olivia: seeing Liana clinging to Mepeilu’s side again, she felt a little annoyed.
Loraviel: her eyes widened instantly, full of envy and jealousy at their closeness.
Sybil: looked completely lost, clearly not understanding what was happening.
Mepeilu: eating popcorn.
"I heard that Aust-nii had business with Liana," Mepeilu said. "So once I finished my work, I hurried over. And just as I arrived, I heard you all discussing something about me."
"So what’s going on? Aust-nii, did you need something important from Liana?"
"Well," Aust said, adjusting his expression, "since you discovered the method to alter magic systems, I thought about how Liana has always been unable to use magic."
