Early the next morning, not long before dawn, a carriage was already waiting outside the church.
Henry, who had arrived at the church early, hurried to the backyard at the guards' request and knocked on the door of the room where the three were staying.
Only after knocking six times, with a ten-second pause in between, did footsteps finally sound from inside.
Lidona opened the door and told Henry they would be ready shortly, then hurriedly woke the other two, who were still curled up in bed.
After spending the past few times together in the illusions, as well as sharing a room last night, Lidona had finally discovered one of He Xi's flaws—
He liked to sleep in!
This gave her a faint, secretly pleased feeling.
She could not explain where that feeling had come from. Was it because she had finally found an imperfect trait in this mysterious and powerful junior?
Yet even when facing opponents, she had only ever felt happy after defeating them. She had even hoped her opponents would be as strong as possible, and had never secretly rejoiced over someone else's shortcomings.
Or perhaps... she simply found it a little absurd and amusing?
The three of them had actually slept in together?
No, two of them had slept in together.

She just had not expected this junior, who was knowledgeable, powerful, and seemingly capable of everything, to have a habit of staying in bed.
As for herself...
Although she had only just gotten up as well.
Perhaps because she had spent so long going to the practice room at night to practice spells and often did not fall asleep until the early hours, she found herself unable to sleep
