Chapter 62: The Invitation
“Leon!”
Just as Leon was looking for a trash bin inside the library, a surprised voice called out from behind him.
Turning around, Leon saw Penny waving at him. Beside her stood two little ones—a lively boy and a shy girl—one on each side, curiously sizing him up.
“Hello, Penny. Do you know where the trash bin is in the library?” Leon asked with a smile.
“Follow me. Jas, Vincent, take your books to the desk and wait for me there,” Penny told the two children before leading the way.
When they reached the trash bin, Leon tossed the bone powder he was holding into it. Penny then asked, “Are you here to borrow books?”
“I came to see you. My Omni Geode cracked open to reveal something special. I’m telling you, you’re my lucky goddess,” Leon replied truthfully. That was his main reason for coming—to thank her for the lucky hand that had helped him get a Prismatic Shard from the Universal Crystal Cave.
“That’s just your good luck. It has little to do with me,” Penny murmured, face flushing red. She lowered her head, her fingers fidgeting nervously.
“I think you deserve more credit. So, if you’re free at noon, I’d like to treat you to lunch as thanks,” Leon said earnestly. Even in the game, he had never gotten a Prismatic Shard from the Universal Crystal Cave, so he knew exactly how rare this was.
