An uncomfortable silence immediately settled between the two people sitting across from each other.
Fang Li looked at Fiore.
Fiore's expression was rather complicated.
As for Chiron, he had already returned to his Spirit Body and vanished.
However, that sage was likely still here and had not left.
Just like Minamoto no Yorimitsu, who was also accompanying Fang Li in Spirit Body form.
This way of existing was extremely common for Masters and Servants.
Naturally, outsiders could not detect the presence of the two Servants who had become Spirit Bodies.
From a third party's perspective, only Fang Li and Fiore were here.
Yet Minamoto no Yorimitsu and Chiron truly were present.
Naturally, both of them had noticed something as well. Neither interrupted, maintaining their silence.
Together with Fiore, who had also sunk into complicated and silent thoughts, the atmosphere became somewhat stifling.
However, as Fang Li watched Fiore like this, his aggressive attitude instead eased.
"Just as I thought..." Fang Li smiled faintly and said to Fiore, "I can't bring myself to hate you."
"Eh?" Fiore froze.
Chiron, in Spirit Body form, seemed somewhat surprised as well.
Minamoto no Yorimitsu also widened her eyes slightly, shaken.
"Can't hate her... can't hate her... does that mean he likes her...!? Master likes that girl...!?"
Well, this one was better ignored.
As though he had not noticed anyone else's reactions, Fang Li poured tea into the cup before him and spoke as if talking to himself.
"You aren't suited to being a Magus."
Those words came from Fang Li's mouth, leaving Fiore completely dumbfounded.
That was only natural, wasn't it?
Fiore's aptitude as a Magus was considered the finest among Yggdmillennia's new generation. Darnic had even believed that no one surpassing her would ever be born into the family.
Countless people had praised
