Though he wasn't physically tired, he was mentally drained.
Tap, tap, tap!
Footsteps sounded, and Lin Luo looked up, only to pause in surprise.
This one looked rather familiar.
"Are you Mibu Asaka?"
This child, who carried herself like an adult despite her young age, had left quite an impression on him.
"You know me, Big Brother Lin Luo?"
Mibu Asaka's eyes lit up.

"Whaaaaaat?"
Mibu Asaka trembled, her eyes brimming with disbelief and delight.

She instinctively asked, "Is that really true?"
"Don't doubt it. After all, you're all my Wings."
After positioning the Evil Piece, Lin Luo gave her an affectionate pat on the head. "Every one of you means just as much to me."
