Chapter 204: Damn, Terrifying
"Mm, still as delicious as ever."
Outside Lilith's Patisserie, Aiyi finally got the dessert she had wanted. She nibbled on it while nodding in satisfaction.
Shien stood beside Aiyi, looking at his even more deflated money pouch and counting the few gold coins left inside. His second life was really hard.

Shien could only give up and sigh.
"By the way, weren't you at home? Why did you run out by yourself?"
Shien moved past the matter
