"How are you going to contact your master, Miss Shion?" Leona asked curiously.
After lunch earlier, they had grown quite close. Leona no longer seemed stiff around Shion.
"Wait a moment."
Shion walked over to her desk, took a small black wooden stick from a drawer, and snapped it in half.
Instantly, she felt a mysterious connection with Nolan.
"Master, are you there?" she called out.
A few moments later, Nolan's voice echoed in her mind.
"Yes, I'm here. Do you need anything?"
Shion breathed a sigh of relief. She wasn't sure if that little wooden stick could really connect her to Nolan.
After all, she had never tried it before.
"Master, Leona is already here. What are you going to do?"

Nolan was surprised to hear that.
"Leona's already at the office? Since when?" he asked.
"This afternoon. She arrived right before lunch."
"Hmmm…"
Nolan rubbed his chin as he thought deeply. A moment later, he spoke.
"All right, wait a minute. I'll be right there."
