Nothing see the same clothes He was also the only one in the bed Thank the Gods! The last thing he needed was to wake up wearing Elaru instead of his clothes He shi+vered involuntarily Why a about the worst possible scenario?

The first thing his eyes landed on as he sat up was Elaru She was sitting beside the desk with her workbook open in front of her

“Matey? What are you; a pirate? Surely you can co term?”

Elaru stroked her chin “H mate…but now that youa pirate would stay It won’t do…won’t do”

Elaru interrupted hi his opinion “Iceblock it is!”

Kiel’s eyebrow started twitching more violently She wouldn’t care for his objections at all He asting ti

Kiel closed his eyes, pinched the bridge of his nose and then exhaled “Yesterday What Happened?”

Elaru rolled her eyes at hilared “How did I faint?”

She shrugged her shoulders innocently “Why are you asking o overboard with your ?”

He stared at her warily No sleam in her eyes She looked so innocent it was suspicious “What happened after I fainted?”

No one bothered him this time He was initially worried that the waitress would co hi her tail whenever he smiled at her

However, to his surprise, she kept her distance In fact, she seeaze entirely Whenever she accidentally met his eyes, her face would flush, and she would scurry away like a startled pechuh

Kiel felt a foreboding feeling when it happened Is this…a second stage of a crush?

After a while, he shrugged the feeling off It didn’t really ranted hi here for er

In a few days, after the exa into the Muni dorms At that point, whether she developed some puppy crush on him or not wouldn’t matter

After the satisfying meal, Kiel returned back to the rooe specs Today, he should learn some transmutation spells There were many incredibly useful trans While Elaru’s execution of the spell was very pleasant, he didn’t want to depend on her
