At that moment, Lucy noticed there was someone else beside her mother. Not shy around strangers, she kept staring at Cain with her big, adorable eyes.
This big brother was so handsome, and he had golden hair just like hers.
Perhaps it was his good looks or their matching hair color, but Lucy did not feel any aversion toward Cain despite meeting him for the first time. On the contrary, she liked him a little.
Cain studied the young Lucy as well.
Her short golden hair was tied into a little braid, and her adorable eyes, paired with the looks she had inherited from Layla, made her incredibly cute.
Seeing Lucy stare straight at Cain, Layla smiled and introduced him. "This big brother is Mommy's friend. You should call him Brother Cain, understand?"
"Mm." Lucy answered, then sweetly called out, "Brother Cain."
Layla had already told Cain about her husband and daughter on the way here, so he knew Lucy's name.
Cain took out a piece of candy from his storage pouch and held it out to her. "Lucy, this is for you. A little gift for our first meeting."
When she saw a piece of candy appear out of thin air, Lucy exclaimed, "Wow, magic! Brother Cain, are you a magician?"
Cain smiled and rubbed Lucy's head. "I'm not a magician. I'm a mage."
"A mage?" Lucy's eyes suddenly lit up. "Like Mommy?"
Cain nodded. "Mm. Sister Layla is a Celestial Spirit Mage, while I'm a mage who uses Holy Light Magic. Our magic is different, but we're both mages."
Hearing Cain call her Auntie, Layla touched her cheek and said somewhat unhappily, "Cain, just call me Sister. Don't call me Auntie again."
"Uh, all right, Sister Layla."
It seemed that even someone as gentle as Layla cared greatly
