PAIGE broke into a smile without looking up from the book she was reading in her hands. "You really came?"
She didn't have to know that it was Dion who sat next to her.
[I actually sent him a letter saying that I'm here, but I didn't expect him to come.]
After all, it was already so late at night.
Moreover, he was still the acting High Priest of the Astello Temple. Therefore, he wasn't someone who should be out alone.
[I know that he's capable of protecting himself, even so…]
"If I didn't come, I won't get to see you since I'm always the last in your priority," Dion said in a teasing voice. "You're not even looking at me right now."
That pricked her conscience.
But it wasn't like he didn't want to see him.
Right now, she was in a small and shabby-looking bookstore in Valmento. To be precise, she was sitting on the floor while leaning against the bookshelf behind her.
