"Eh, Lina senior?"
As everyone's attention was drawn to the sorrowful Lina, a customer pushed open the door, and upon seeing her in tears, expressed surprise.
Wearing the uniform of the First Alchemy Academy, Lier approached the bar with her books in hand, curiously looking at Lina.
"It really is you, Lina senior. What happened? Why are you crying like this?"
Having released most of her sadness, Lina quickly put down her glass when she heard her name being called.
A steaming white towel was passed in front of her.
She looked up in astonishment to see Mr. Lin Ge smiling at her, his smile filled with a comforting power that brought her a sense of peace.
"Wipe your face."
"Thank… thank you," Lina said in a daze, taking the towel.
The towel was warm and very soft.
After wiping away the tears on her face, she turned to the young girl who had taken a seat next to her, recognizing the uniform but not having a strong memory of her face.
"I'm sorry, you are?"
