Rays of warm sunshine were flowing through the window, but Deculein’s atmosphere remained chilly as always.One step at a time, Epherene slowly approached Deculein.

Epherene scratched the back of her neck, face feeling warm from a combination of embarrassment and shame.Allen shook his head as if he knew everything, his voice as bright as always.

“He can be like that.Rather, Professor Deculein thinks that it is natural to do so. I would have done that, too.”

“It was also courageous for you to reveal your family history. So, you can just pay him back through your research~. It’s no big deal for us.”
