Chapter 1138
A loud ruckus slowly crept in through the window of the room where Davey stood, quietly waiting for Super Ribbon. He felt a little guilty toward her for what he had decided, but it had to be done.
“Master Davey, Rinne reports Super Ribbon has returned.”
After clearing his throat a few times, he quickly straightened up, fixed his appearance, and sat down at the desk in the office with a stern expression. His eyes were glued to the documents strewn across it as he waited for Super Ribbon to furiously burst through the door.
Five minutes passed.
‘Fine. She’ll probably finish what she's doing first and then come.’
Another ten minutes passed.
‘Huh? This is weird. I can’t keep the tense expression and stiff impersonation of a strict father forever... Why hasn’t she shown up yet?’
“Rinne, why isn’t she coming?”
“Rinne does not possess that knowledge.”
Davey figured he was expecting too much from Rinne when she was already incredibly fixated on a corn dog in her hand. He sighed and stirred up a faint trace of mana to recover some stamina, since holding a stiff posture and forcing his stern expression had started to give him cramps.
What Davey was doing was but a small part of a bigger plan to bait her. It was all for his own personal amusement. It was a secret scheme he had managed to devise and execute without letting those three, especially Perserque, catch on.
It had all started when he went to the Great Empire of Ming for the matters related to the Daughter of Heaven. During that time, Evangeline, who was going through a rebellious phase, had pulled an unprecedented stunt and run away to Earth.
