“Anyway……it’s a thing of the past”

“…………”

Stephanie also calmed down, fixed her hair and then sat down Orphen stared at his cup, watching her in the cups reflection

“So, what are you going to do next?”

“Is that a joke? The Alliance of Sorcerers in Alenhatan City is nohome”

“Home?”

“To the south——to my apartment”

“……What about your parents, have you been in contact?”

“I don’t want to talk about that Anyhat are your plans?”

“Tomorroe head north”

“North?”

“Yeah Those two damn trolls didn’t pay me back the money they owed me, they fled north”

Then he got up from his chair

“By the way, Cleo should be feeling better now She spent so supper, she also did so if you don’t believe it Anyway, I hope we ain……farewell, Steph”

Both of theoodbyes and waved at each other

Stephanie didn’t say anything, she just stared at her empty cup“Hey, the food is ready”

“Ah——okay”

Cleo looked very happy as she brought a tray over to Orphen, some type of cheesecake seemed to be on the plate

“I originally wanted tobetter for you to eat, but the old man downstairs was reluctant to let me cook So, this will have to do”

“Oh, I’ late”

Orphen said to her in an apologetic tone

“And I’ht and I let you get captured”

“Don’t worry, it’s all over now”

Cleo said dismissively

Orphen felt like he was doing so He took a fork and the cheesecake

“You know, next ti to, I know a couple of places which are worth seeing, you interested?”

Orphen tried to talk about other things while he cut a slice of the cheesecake and put it into his mouth He bit down, his eyes widened But it wasn’t the food that made him do so, it was Cleo’s reaction

“Cleo……”

Orphen watched her uncomfortably as her hands started to shake

“I’ to savour this, you’re punishment that is……you’re sweet punishment”

A devilish grin appeared on Cleo’s face

“Soap, don’t waste it now”

He then looked towards Majic, his apprentice was sticking his tongue of hisin this experiment

“Cleo……what have you done?”

Orphen’s voice treirl was even happier now

“You can wash your underwear and socks in the bathtub I’ve already picked out an outfit for you, so you better wear it And don’t forget to pay back the money for the clothes……here is the receipt”

“Is that why you are so happy? Did you……”

Orphen said in ahian to shakeCleo still looked at him, with that same happy smile Orphen tried to wonder theof it He then ate the rest of the soap filled cheesecake, knowing nothing of what Cleo had in store for him
