'That Evil Mage promised he would. Where are they?'
"What's so unreasonable?"
Wei'en, guessing her thoughts, feigned confusion and asked.
"You!?" Pavla turned her head away, ignoring him.
'He imprisoned me, threatened me, and forced me to be his maid... and now he won't even buy me a few books...'
'He's just so unreasonable!'
Seeing her expression, Wei'en chuckled softly. He took several brand-new books, still smelling of fresh ink, from his Space Ring and placed them on the dining table. "I had them ready all along."
"Books?"
Joy lit up Pavla's face. She grabbed a book and flipped open a page, but then, remembering the situation, she quickly put the novel away.
"Hmph. I will pray to the great Dawn to reduce some of your sins."
Wei'en replied, "...My sincerest thanks."
'Praying to the Lord of Dawn to reduce my sins? If He found out, He'd probably be the one to knock your head off.'
"You're welcome."
