New Companion

We walked leisurely towards our destination, watching the still ongoing eruption of the volcano out of the corner of our eyes. Although Igni didn't show it in her expression, feelings of sadness and worry were taking up the majority of her emotions.

Ember, the emotionally sharp girl, quickly noticed her feelings without me telling her. She patted Igni's back gently.

"Your father is a sharp man who noticed Master's charm in a glance. No matter what happens to them, they'll be fine."

Hearing her words, which can't be determined if they were praising me or Igni's father, she gave a wry smile.

"When it comes to love matters, my father is quite sharp. But for management, he can't hold a candle to my mom."

"Your mom... She..."

Ember stuttered to ask, but Igni just laughed at her reaction.

"No, mom is fine. She's working as the secretary of the Virgil Family, so she's not here now."
