The Ferrari's engine sounded amazing, but it was also a bit loud.
This was impolite for a coffee shop, though.
Of course, Wanda noticed these details.
She added another point to her evaluation of Su Yi.
Mutual Respect.
However, Wanda regretted her decision a little after getting out of the car.
And following Su Yi into the coffee shop.
Once Su Yi led her to a corner seat by the sea, and ordered two coffees and some pastries, Wanda leaned close to Su Yi's ear and whispered, "Coming out dressed like this is my biggest regret today."
Indeed.
Jeans and a gray hoodie to a coffee shop.
This was a bit low-class in America.
But thankfully, America was quite liberal, and no one would really judge you.
Besides, this coffee shop was secluded and upscale.
The people inside were relatively more refined.
Su Yi also offered Wanda a suggestion.
"Your magic should be able to alter the structure of matter, allowing you to change your clothes directly."
"It can do that?" Wanda thought for a moment, then shook her head. "But I can't do that yet."
"It's okay, I believe you'll be able to in the future."
Su Yi smiled and then gave a few more examples.
"This world is no longer just a world of science."
"I also heard that mages at Kamar-Taj can alter people's perceptions of themselves."
"So even if you meet someone you know when you go out, they might not necessarily recognize you."
"Whether that's mental magic or perceptual magic, I'm not sure."
"Perhaps Miss Witch could try it."
After saying that, Su Yi listed some everyday magical applications.
Like using magic to clean up trash.
Using magic to make clothes look brand new?
Using magic to fix broken household items, and so on.
Some of these spells Su Yi knew were possible, but others he hadn't seen before.
Fortunately, he told Wanda about them all.
Upon hearing Su Yi's words, Wanda's eyes truly lit up.
Because Su Yi's words gave her a completely new understanding of magic!
Magic didn't have to be used for destruction!
It could even be used to change one's outfit!
Or for cleaning and other chores!
In that case...
Magic was truly amazing, wasn't it?
For a moment, Wanda had many new ideas and experiments for her magic!
And she decided to try them out that night when she got back!
Meanwhile.
Natasha, watching from a distance, was observing Su Yi and Wanda through binoculars.
Then, she used a lip-reading device to translate their conversation.
Natasha had done this kind of surveillance countless times before.
She was incredibly skilled at it!
However, after watching Su Yi and Wanda chat for a while, Natasha let down her guard around Su Yi.
Because Natasha could tell!
Su Yi wasn't just chatting with Wanda over afternoon tea.
He was actually helping Wanda with her mental state through their everyday interactions!
Natasha could see that!
Magic, happiness, afternoon tea...
From all the signs, and from Wanda's smile, Natasha could tell.
Wanda's mindset was genuinely improving.
And it was improving rapidly!
After watching for a bit longer.
Natasha nodded in approval.
"America's best psychologist, not bad~"
Of course.
Su Yi himself was far more experienced than she realized.
In the coffee shop.
Once the items they ordered were served.
Su Yi took the opportunity to glance around while chatting with Wanda.
His seemingly casual gaze passed through Natasha's eyes, as if they had made eye contact.
But it also felt like he had just glanced past her.
Natasha, watching from a distance, felt a jolt.
It was like being stared at when you're secretly trying to sneak into a women's bathhouse!
Of course, you aren't invisible.
And there's no women's bathhouse in reality.
But that's the feeling.
"An accident?"
Natasha peered intently at Su Yi through her binoculars.
They were so far apart, he shouldn't have been able to spot her.
Then, seeing Wanda laughing heartily at Su Yi's humorous remarks, Natasha relaxed.
"It was an accident."
In reality, that wasn't the case.
Su Yi simply didn't want to reveal his superpowers to the superheroes too early.
He wanted to wait until at least one of them, Gwen or Wanda, was secured.
Cough cough cough... this doesn't count as kidnapping.
