Training-Addicted Mage In A Progression Fantasy

Chapter 2

As It Turned Out, She Wasn’t Alone

"Leon! Are we playing cops and robbers?"

I thought I had snuck out without anyone noticing, but suddenly all five of the kids were huddled around me.

Cops and robbers was a game I had casually suggested to the kids when I wanted to entertain them. They seemed to really enjoy it.

This time, they seemed to think it was another one of those games.

I gave up on escaping.

“Looks like you caught me, haha.”

I laughed it off and went back to the room.

The next evening, Leah called me out.

It was the same time we always used to take our walks.

In truth, after I checked the quest, I’d been making excuses to put off those walks with Leah.
