"Get up first."
"Also, you'll need to master what's in this."
Mai Zenin stood up at his words and accepted the Grimoire.
"So this is... magic."
Her palm brushed gently over the pages, her eyes brimming with excitement.
Heh heh.
Jujutsu and all that?
We won't be acquainted anymore.
"Aren't you cold, little sister?"
Seeing Mai Zenin so absorbed in reading that she hadn't even put on her outer clothes, Maki Zenin gently reminded her.
"Ah!"
Mai Zenin froze, then immediately realized what she meant and hurriedly fumbled to put her clothes on.
At the sight,
Maki Zenin sighed and reached out to help her fasten the buttons.
By the time she was dressed, Mai Zenin's face was bright red.
"Honestly, you."
Maki Zenin tapped her forehead with a finger and sighed. "I never thought you'd be even more innocent than me."
"Be prepared. This is only the beginning."
"???"
Mai Zenin's face was full of confusion.
What's going on?
Is there something else I don't know?
Why didn't you tell me?
Ignoring her little sister, Maki Zenin said, "Master, you haven't bestowed a blessing on her yet."
"I almost forgot until you mentioned it."
Mai Zenin blinked.
A blessing?
I do know about that...
But it's just a god's power. Was that really worth saying something like that?
As she puzzled over it, she saw those crimson eyes drawing closer and closer.
In fact,
she could even hear his breathing clearly.
Her lips... were sealed.
Mai Zenin's pupils contracted sharply.
A moment later,
Pop!
Mai Zenin took several steps back, her gaze seeming to rest on Lin Luo, yet also on the wall behind him.
"Master, are you staying here today?"
Suddenly, Maki Zenin grew serious and asked.
"I'll probably have to head back."
Lin Luo shook his head.
