The Ferrari's engine sounded amazing, but it was also a little loud.
That was rather impolite for a café.
Naturally, Wanda noticed those details too.
She added another evaluation of Su Yi in her heart.
"Knows how to respect others."
But after getting out of the car,
and following Su Yi into the café, Wanda felt a tiny bit of regret.
By the time Su Yi led her to a secluded corner by the sea,
and ordered two coffees and some desserts,
Wanda leaned close to Su Yi's ear and whispered,
"Coming out dressed like this was the decision I regret most today."
Indeed.
Jeans, a gray hoodie, and a café.
That was admittedly a little low-class by American standards.
Fortunately, America was relatively free.
No one would really say anything to you.
Besides, this café was both secluded and upscale.
The people inside were relatively nicer too.
Still, Su Yi gave Wanda a suggestion.
"Your magic should be able to alter the structure of matter and directly turn the clothes you're wearing into another outfit."
"It can do that?" Wanda thought for a moment, then shook her head. "But I can't do that yet."
"It's fine. I believe you'll be able to do it someday."
Su Yi smiled, then gave a few more examples.
"This world stopped being a world of science alone long ago."
"I've also heard that the mages at Kamar-Taj can alter how people perceive them."
"That way, even if you run into someone you know while you're out, they might not realize it's you."
"Though I don't know whether that counts as mental magic or cognitive magic."
"Maybe Miss Witch could give it a try."
After saying that,
Su Yi listed several everyday uses for magic.
For example, using magic to clean up trash.
Using magic to make clothes look brand-new.
Using magic to repair broken furniture, and so on.
Su Yi knew some of those spells were definitely possible, while he had never seen others.
Fortunately, he could simply tell Wanda all of them.
After hearing Su Yi's words,
Wanda's eyes truly lit up.
Because Su Yi's words gave her an entirely new understanding of magic!
Magic didn't necessarily have to be used for destruction!
It could even be used to change her into a new outfit!
Or clean the house, and so on!
If that was the case...
Magic was incredible, wasn't it?
For a moment,
Wanda had many new ideas and things she wanted to try with her magic!
She decided she would try them as soon as she got back tonight!
Meanwhile,
Natasha was watching Su Yi and Wanda through binoculars from a distance.
She then used a lip-reading device to translate what they were saying.
Natasha had done this kind of surveil... observation work more times than she could count.
She was extremely skilled at it!
But after watching Su Yi and Wanda chat for a while,
Natasha lowered her guard toward Su Yi.
Because she realized it!
Su Yi wasn't merely chatting with Wanda over afternoon tea.
He was guiding Wanda's mind through everyday actions!
Natasha could see that much!
Magic, happiness, afternoon tea...
From all the signs, as well as Wanda's smile, Natasha could tell.
Wanda's mental state really was improving.
And it was improving rapidly!
After watching for a while,
Natasha nodded approvingly.
"America's best psychologist... not bad~"
Of course,
Su Yi himself was countless times more impressive than what she had seen.
Inside the café,
after everything they ordered was served,
Su Yi casually looked around while chatting with Wanda.
His seemingly casual gaze passed over Natasha, looking almost as if their eyes had met.
Yet it also seemed as though he had merely glanced past her.
Natasha, far away, felt a jolt in her heart.
It was like being invisible in a women's bathhouse and suddenly having someone stare at you!
Of course, you couldn't turn invisible.
And women's bathhouses didn't exist in reality.
But that was the general idea.
"An accident?"
Natasha carefully watched Su Yi through her binoculars.
They were so far apart; he shouldn't have been able to notice her.
Only after seeing Wanda burst into laughter at Su Yi's humorous words
did Natasha finally relax.
"It was an accident."
Actually, it wasn't.
Su Yi simply did not want to expose his superpowers to the superheroes too early.
At the very least, he had to get either Gwen or Wanda first.
Cough, cough, cough... That didn't count as kidnapping.
