Chapter 1270
The faint smell of ash spread through the air. Kouna followed the strange scent and scanned the surroundings, then summoned Haitai. “Do you... know anything about this?”
Haitai silently looked at her, then quietly vanished. Alas, that was just how Haitai was. There was something different about it compared to other divine beasts. Kouna hadn’t formed a contract with any divine beast like the Vermilion Bird or Azure Dragon yet, so there was no alternative.
Kouna waited for an answer, then Haitai eventually reappeared and gave a soft response.
[Something feels wrong. Get rid of that handkerchief.]
“But there are no traces of magic on it.”
[I won't stop you, but being around that thing feels like my whole body is being stabbed with needles.]
Having said that, Haitai disappeared again.
Left alone once more, Kouna suppressed the complicated thoughts swirling in her mind and returned to her room.
Knock knock!
Just then, a sound snapped her out of her thoughts. Startled, she hurriedly hid the pretty dresses that looked a bit too mature for someone her age to wear, along with the revealing outfits scattered around.
Clack!
“W-What is it?” She tried to put on a neutral expression as she opened the door and saw exactly who she had expected standing there.
