Chapter 244: Photograph

"P… please accept these chocolates!"

"Oh, this is for me? How thoughtful of you."

Viel was walking as a red-haired woman handed him a gift, her face almost reflected her cherry-like hair as her sweet stutters echoed through the hallway.

"Oh," Viel hummed as he accepted the chocolate, "Is this from the new shop that just opened?"

"Y… yes!", the red-haired woman was flustered as Viel placed the chocolate bar in front of his nose, "H… how did you know!?"

"They have a very distinct smell."

"I… see," the woman whispered, her words almost fleeting through the hallway as she stared at Viel's beautiful golden hair, "I… thought you'd like it."

"Hm… I owe you my thanks, then," Viel nodded as he adjusted his spectacles, his blind jet-black eyes seemed shining through the woman's eyes.

"Then… Headmaster, is it possible… to invite you for coffee?" The woman's face grew even redder than her hair as she looked Viel directly in the face.
