191 Poor Maal

"Hello, Ria!" Maria and Elise said as they entered the store.

"Oh hello, Maria and Elise. And… Maal nya?!" Ria said as she looked at them.

"Ria nya!" Maal said as she ran over and jumped towards Ria giving her a hug.

"Ah. I haven't seen you in so long Maal nya. How have you been at the academy nya?" Ria asked her as she started to rub her head.

"I've been doing good nya! Mother and father wouldn't let me visit you though nya." Maal said with a sad expression on her face.

"Of course they wouldn't let you nya. You should focus on your studies instead nya." Ria said as she flicked Maal's forehead with her finger while laughing.

"Au." Maal held her forehead with an aggrieved look on her face.

"Anyway, how did the three of you meet nya?" Ria asked Maria and Elise.

"Ah, she's our roommate. That's how we met." Maria answered.

"Oh, who's your fourth roommate then nya?" Ria asked them.

"A girl named Sylvie," Maria replied to Ria.
