However, she spotted a beautiful girl with long golden hair looking around.
"Why isn't Hiratsuka answering her phone?"
"Did she get drunk again?"
Miu Furinji looked at the shrine, hesitating over whether to go inside.
But!
A shrine?
That didn't seem like her style. Was the address wrong?
After a moment's hesitation, Miu Furinji prepared to leave.
"Are you talking about Teacher Shizuka Hiratsuka?"
Momoka Ayase appeared before her and said, "You've got the right place."
As she spoke,
Momoka Ayase sized the girl up, a faint glimmer passing through her eyes.
This girl...
She seems pretty strong for a human.
Come to think of it!
Teacher Hiratsuka did mention that she once trained somewhere called Liang Shanbo...
She must be from that Dojo.
Most importantly,
she might be Master's type.
By now, she had fully embraced her role as a Familiar.
One of her most basic duties
was to recruit Familiars for her master.
Miu Furinji asked hesitantly, "And you are?"
"I'm Teacher Hiratsuka's student."
"We're currently companions living together."
Momoka Ayase linked arms with Miu Furinji. "Come on, let's go inside."
"O-okay."
Creak!
The door was pushed open.
"Teacher Hiratsuka, your junior's here."
Momoka Ayase led Miu Furinji inside and called out, "You haven't gotten drunk again, have you?"
"My junior?"
Shizuka Hiratsuka opened her bleary eyes and caught sight of that golden hair.
Instantly!
She sobered up considerably.
"Miu, what brings you here?"
"Hehe."
Miu Furinji smiled. "I came here to take care of something."
"And I happened to remember that you work in this city."
"What, am I not welcome?"
At that, Shizuka Hiratsuka looked at the junior she hadn't seen in a while.
She really was getting prettier and prettier.
But coming here...
