”Teacher Ash, can I come go to the training hall with you?” [Liyana]
”I'll be taking Rean and Elise at an inn first. How about you just go to the training hall first” [Ash]
”Then I'll come with you! I want to see both of them as well” [Liyana]
”If you said so” [Ash]
After the meeting ended, Liyana and I came across each other at the hallway. She's at first reluctant to speak to me as Diana and Qis are with me
”So you're going to teach her magic after this?” [Qis]
”I did promise her that” [Ash]
”Hmm... I'm free right now, so let me come as well” [Diana]
”Liyana will feel uncomfortable so no” [Ash]
”I.. I didn't say that! I swear!” [Liyana]
”Oh, you didn't say that, but it's looks like you're thinking about it” [Ash]
”~Gulp~” [Liyana]
”Liyana... I understand...” [Diana]
”No! Princess Diana, this is just a misunderstanding!” [Liyana]
”Well, you heard her Diana, it can't be helped” [Ash]
”It's fine, I'll just give up” [Diana]
”No!!!” [Liyana]
”Both of you, please stop teasing her” [Qis]
”!” [Liyana]
”You could at least let us tease her a bit longer” [Diana]
”I did feel bad though” [Ash]
And she's pouting now. Well, we do tease her so I guess it's expected. And when I tell her to come with me
”It's fine, I'll take my personal carriage and go to the training hall first” [Liyana]
Yup, definitely pouting there.
”Oh no, you'll come with us” [Diana]
”!” [Liyana]
Without giving her a chance to say no, Diana quickly take Liyana's hand and went to her own carriage. This causes Liyana to become pale and try as she might, she can't find the word to politely refuse Diana's invitation. As for Qis, she asks the castle worker to pass a message to the young healers to come to the training hall
(You don't have to look so pale though) [Ash]
Oh yeah, I forgot to ask about the details of their investigation on the church, noble and merchant that complot and accused Diana with such dirty lie. Well, I'll just ask her once the magic class is over
After chatting with some of the nice nobles and Knights from the meeting (as they invited me to their house just for some tea session for which I refuse by giving an excuse of teaching Diana herself magic), I bring out my bus golem outside the castle gate and quickly drive to Alice parent's inn. There, I find that the two of them are eating inside their room. From Alice's mom explanation, there are some costumer who finds Elise presence nearby them to be an uncomfortable experience. Alice's dad try to back her up but the two of them decided just to eat inside the room as to not complicate things further.
”We are sorry about that” [Alice's dad]
”No, it's alright. If they're to make a ruckus there, the inn will end up in trouble and I'll feel bad about it” [Elise]
”True, plus I do think that us going to our room is the best course of action” [Rean]
”Please take this, it's not much but I hope this won't deter you from keep on coming here” [Alice's mom]
”Don't worry about it, it's not your fault” [Ash]
”Well, make sure to bring the other with you next time” [Alice's dad]
”I will” [Ash]
