"Serves you right for using Dean Loren as a bet back then, meow. The consequences are here now."
Cat Boss looked at Lanchi.
It vaguely remembered when it had first met Lanchi. He had stood with his hands behind his back, smiling and nodding, and said that he would make the decision for Loren.
The Sage Institute students had all cheered for him. He had really looked handsome.
Now, Lanchi seemed to be going farther and farther down the path of becoming a comedian.
Cat Boss was even a little worried that when Sigrid came and discovered that her Holy Son had become a funny man, she might begin to question her life.
"When I beat that Green Tea, you'll tell her yourself who your most beautiful and powerful teacher is."
Talia had already released Lanchi's collar.
It was not very appropriate to keep dragging a man around. It easily attracted strange looks, making them seem like a couple who were arguing.
"Wait. There's no doubt that you're my teacher, but aren't 'most beautiful' and 'most powerful' just things you added yourself?"
Lanchi suddenly realized something.
"'Beautiful and powerful, ageless and immortal'—didn't you say that to me in the South Wantina Territory? If I hadn't heard you describe yourself that way, I might not have agreed to your request."
Talia suspected that Lanchi wanted to make her complete another task.
But her primary target had now become Karen, so she would not argue with Lanchi over it today.
"Hiss."
Lanchi thought about it carefully and realized that he really had said those words.
They were the exact words he had used when he created his first Magic Card, Basic Etiquette, and asked Talia to become his teacher.
Lanchi looked at Talia with a complicated expression.
So you really remembered, Tata.
