Ding—!
A chime rang in the air as Aoife and Evelyn stepped out of the bookstore. The two of them had been paired up together.
Coming out of the store, Aoife held onto several books. The pile was quite long, with Aoife having to hold the books with both hands.
The two quietly walked around the town before finding a place with a nice view to eat.
"I'll have this."
"...."
Unlike Aoife, Evelyn took her time to choose her dish. Her eyes turned unusually serious as she scanned the menu.
Evelyn was taking so much time that Aoife felt compelled to say something.
"Are you ordering anything?"
"I am."
"It's been several minutes."
"I know."
".....So?"
"Quiet."
Aoife was taken aback. This was the first time she had seen Evelyn act that way. In fact, taking a look at her now, she seemed like a completely different person.
Even her aura appeared to be different.
