Elaru didn’t bother to deny it and nodded “Yeah We didn’t have the chance to spend the night together before”

Pixy s “Hoas he?”

Elaru looked at Pixy confusedly, trying to deterue question Her eyes lit up in realization Shethe bed with Kiel

“It was great He is still He doesn’tthe blanket About tirab boobs in his sleep”

Pixy stared at Elaru du at all “Ah… it must be that he isn’t as experienced as you”

Elaru gave Pixy a strange look Experienced? The girl sure switched conversation topics fast What does Kiel’s experience as a e have to do with the previous conversation?

“Of course not You’d be hard-pressed to find someone as experienced assince childhood Experience will come with time”

Pixy froze and stared at Elaru, gaping The fingers gripping her tray slipped It was only when the tray hit the ground that she awoke from her stupor Her whole face and ears were beet red

“Y… you are?? H… how did he train?” She sta on her feet

Elaru took a sip of her chocolateic over and over”

“There is a her than her usual voice

Elaru gave her a confused look and was about to ask so, but Pixy suddenly looked past Elaru to soht th… there!”

She smiled nervously at Elaru and explained “Sorry Duty calls!” Then she ran off like the wind

Elaru stared at the place where Pixy was previously standing in shock “What was that about? I didn’t notice anyone calling for her… ”

Elaru didn’t dwell on it for long and eventually she shrugged, continuing with her meal

She had no idea that this seeive birth to various strange rumors

Kiel alking back and forth in the roos he needed to do before the exaic here in the room He needed an open space, soe Soic in

He could find such a place on the outskirts of Ashar However, he couldn’t go there without Elaru because it was pretty far away and he didn’t know their current distance limitation

That’s it That was the , he needed to find out how far apart they could be Other effects of the Aetherneal bond could wait until he passed the exam, but this couldn’t wait

Luckily, this was the point when Elaru walked back into the rooe to shi+eld his eyes froht

He wasted no ti about the bond We need to test out how the distance affects us We can’t go on without knowing how far apart we can be”

Elaru snapped her fingers and pointed at herself “That is exactly what I’ve been thinking I have to go fetch you that artifact I promised you, but I can’t take you with me So I need to kno far apart we can be”

Kiel nodded approvingly She didn’t forget about the proht one of us would stay here, and the other would go towards the outskirts of Ashar We could then carefully observe e feel as the distance increases”

Elaru sht and keep notes about e experience at what distance and I’ll set off”

Kiel was about to protest He wanted to be the one to run around His goal was to find a suitable place where he could practice ic However, before he could protest, Elaru continued

“When we are satisfied with the experiment, I will just use my Beacon to teleport back to the city Hot Pot is close to the Gate, so it would be theback A quick way back is necessary in case adverse effects appear”

Elaru grinned wide “Also, this is an excellent chance to practice two things The first is telepathy We should practice it until it feels easy and natural to use That way, in the future, we can converse about ‘you-knohat’ without fearing so this chance to practice telepathy is ideal because ill also be able to test out if our telepathic ability degrades with distance It will also be helpful for us to converse about e feel at what distance When you feel so, you can ask how far I moved and write it down”

Kiel was i about it for a while?” He wondered He hoped the ansas “a while”, because if she ood plan this quickly, he would feel threatened by her intelligence He had never felt threatened or even considerably challenged in that area before

She grinned “Thank you for the cohts behind the question Kiel narrowed his eyes “I was not corowled

Elaru ignored hih she clearly heard him
