Clutching a thick book and a small bag filled with alchemy tools, the girl walked into the study room as usual... no, it was the Emerald Bar.
As she entered, two beautiful maids stood by the door as usual. One of them, upon seeing her, showed an unnatural expression and swallowed back the words that had almost reached her lips.
She must have been about to greet the guest, Lier thought to herself.
Lier smiled at her, and the maid returned a polite, albeit slightly cool, smile.
The other maid, who seemed a bit slower on the uptake, immediately responded with a warm smile upon receiving Lier's friendly gesture, and produced a spray of water and a rainbow to liven the atmosphere from her mouth.
"Good afternoon, Mr. Lin Ge," she greeted Lin Ge behind the counter as she walked into the main hall.
As usual, Lin Ge nodded to her and asked, "Would you like some drink today?"
Lier shook her head.
"I've got homework today, so I won't drink," she replied.
