"Sorry, I thought you were the one behind the incident, so I just attacked right away, DA☆ZE."
"Marisa—"
Alice was in a difficult position as well. She knew Marisa's carefree, even downright unreliable personality very well. That explanation of hers—firing a shot whenever something seemed off—really was just like her. But Alice was not alone right now; Mo Yi was here too. And Marisa was one of the few friends the reclusive Alice had.
"Since no one was hurt and Marisa didn't do it on purpose, let it go, Alice—"
Seeing Alice's predicament, Mo Yi stepped in to smooth things over.
Of course, he was not lying. Marisa's enormous magic cannon looked terrifying, but its power was only so-so. It could not even break through a single layer of Mo Yi's shield. He had been ready to slap it right back with his hand, which showed just how little threat it posed.
Besides, they had met before. There was no need for Mo Yi to make an issue of it with a fifteen- or sixteen-year-old girl.
They were friends who only rarely had a chance to meet, after all. Leave some room for others, and you would meet again someday.
"Hehe, thanks, Mo Yi."
Hearing that, Marisa immediately took advantage of the situation and said familiarly, "By the way, what are you doing here? And that pretty young lady on your back, Mo Yi—she looks unfamiliar. Is she hurt? I've got mushrooms here. Want one?"
As she spoke, she pulled several colorful mushrooms from her pocket as an apology gift.
Mo Yi: "..."
Naturally, Mo Yi directly refused Marisa's kindness!
Anyone with even a little common sense in modern times knew that colorful mushrooms were poisonous—extremely poisonous. Although Kishin and Alice possessed the ability to digest even rocks and crystals
