Matthew's head was full of question marks.
"What about Mage's Hand?"
Loraine blinked.
" Legend has it that in the Age of Enlightenment, many mages would lock themselves in their mage towers and not come out all day in order to study spells. Under such circumstances, it was common for them not to see other people for several years, let alone the opposite sex.
" That's why they invented the Hand of Magic. Their goal was to experience the feeling of being comforted by a hand other than their own.
"Now that I think about it, those mages in ancient times are quite pitiful.
" Regarding this, I have a unique theory. By observing the colour of a mage's 'Mage Hand,' I can determine whether he has a partner and whether he is happy with his partner…"
Matthew's temples throbbed as he listened.
He wanted to retort.
However, looking at Loraine's confident expression, he realized that it was not a wise move to argue with him.
