Skretil's Ignorance Walker

"You...you, you are Mana, the goddess of spring?"

"..."

Facing Lu Ren's question, the other party nodded slightly, but his eyes never let go of the dessert on Lu Ren's table.

"that……"

"You...don't want to eat?"

"Ah, I'll just eat a little. You can eat."

With Lu Ren's consent, Mana was also unceremonious. She sat across from Lu Ren and began to sweep the entire battlefield.

"Well, Lady Mana..."

"Um……?"

"That's it. Do you know...that...Sora-sama?"

"You want to find Sora so she can cure your eye, right?"

After finishing one dessert and preparing to take another, Mana finally took out her mouth and said these words.

"As expected of Lady Mana, you can see into my thoughts so well, so..."

"..."

Facing Mana who was eating dessert non-stop, Lu Ren could only wait patiently for her to finish. Although she couldn't see it, she could not help but feel a little scared when she saw the plates gradually stacked up around Mana through her perception. .

"...I can help you regain your sight."

"Really?!"

After finally eating, Mana also wiped her mouth, and then continued to look at Lu Ren with her lazy and almost emotionless eyes, but this was enough to surprise Lu Ren.

"However, your magical ability was obtained by depriving you of your vision. If you want to restore your vision, then the magical ability you have now cannot be used. Is that okay?"

"...Well, can that be exchanged for another price? Not having vision really affects my life too much."

Facing Lu Ren's plea, Mana also generously asked what she wanted to change.

"Um...for example, if you must deprive me of a sense, can you deprive me of my sense of taste? At worst, I won't be able to taste it in the future."

"It's rare that there are so many delicacies in this world. It would be so pitiful if we couldn't taste them."

"It's okay, I don't care."

"No."

"...So, how's your sense of smell?"

Facing Lu Ren's bargaining, Mana didn't say anything. She simply shook her head, then stood up and planned to leave.

"Eh? Lady Mana, where are you going?"

"Go back, otherwise Alster will be worried."

"But haven't we finished talking yet..."

Mana ignored Lu Ren's plea to stay and walked towards the church on her own. Lu Ren did not dare to force her to stay, but still followed Mana closely.

"Well, Lady Mana, let's discuss it again..."

"... How long do you think it will take an ordinary person to learn this kind of magic?"

"Um... if you are a genius, it will take about ten years?"

"Then do you think you are a genius?"

After reaching the door of the church, Mana stopped, turned around and asked Lu Ren, which made Lu Ren speechless.

"You proposed it yourself and wanted to have this power that does not belong to you, but now you want to bargain for it."

"But I didn't know there would be such a high price at the beginning?"

"Then I can restore your vision. Are you willing to give up this power?"

"……I……"

Seeing that Lu Ren was speechless, Mana stopped talking nonsense to her, turned around and disappeared in front of Lu Ren. No matter how hard Lu Ren looked for her, she could not be found.

"what……"

Lu Ren sighed. She had long expected that it would not go so well, but after being directly reprimanded by the other party in person, Lu Ren couldn't help but feel aggrieved and annoyed.

"……Let's go back."

After being poured cold water on him, Lu Ren didn't intend to stay here, so he could only return home in embarrassment.

After returning to the empty home, Lu Ren rushed into the bedroom and lay on the bed.

Feeling the emptiness in his hands, Lu Ren thought of Fafuwei and Vera. It would be great if they were by his side now.

"If I had known better, I might as well have gone to school with them."

As he muttered to himself, Lu Ren felt even more lonely.

Mana's words kept hurting Lu Ren's heart like a sharp blade, making her in no mood to care about anything else. She could only close her eyes and let herself fall asleep quickly.

Tonight looks like another sleepless night.

The time has come to the next day. Fortunately, today is Saturday, and Fafuwei and Vera will be back today.

She was supposed to come back after school on Friday, but at that time Favwei had to wait until Saturday morning to come back because she had something to do.

"Lord Lu Ren!"

Before eight o'clock in the morning, the door of Lu Ren's house was pushed open, and Fafuwei and Vera arrived home.

Lu Ren was not seen on the first floor, and she did not respond. Fafuwei had already expected this. Lu Ren should still be sleeping at this time.

"Master Lu Ren, I miss you so much——"

Fa Fuwei quickly came to the second floor, pushed open Lu Ren's door, then rushed to the bed and hugged Lu Ren.

Maybe it was because Lu Ren fell asleep very late last night, but Lu Ren didn't wake up for this action.

"Hum..."

Seeing that Lu Ren did not wake up, Fafuwei was not in a hurry. Instead, she lay gently beside Lu Ren, quietly caressed Lu Ren's face, and looked lovingly at Lu Ren's sleeping face.

"Isn't sister awake yet?"

Vera went to the first floor to drink some water before going up to the second floor. When she saw Fa Fuwei lying on the bed at this time, she asked softly.

"Um……"

Fa Fuwei responded to her softly, for fear of waking up Lu Ren.

If Lu Ren wakes up and sees the two of them next to her, he will definitely show a surprised expression, right?

Fafuwei thought with a smile. After coming into contact with Lu Ren again, whom she hadn't seen for a long time (five days), Fafuwei unconsciously moved closer, wanting to feel Lu Ren's scent more.

"Sister won't wake up before noon..."

Vera also climbed onto the bed and hugged Lu Ren from behind. She also decided to wait for Lu Ren to wake up.

Fortunately, Fa Fuwei had already bought food outside in advance, otherwise they would have to prepare breakfast now, otherwise Lu Ren would not have anything to eat when he got up.

"Hmm...huh?"

After a long time, Lu Ren finally woke up in a daze. She felt something hugging her, and her hand also touched something soft.

"What……?"

After activating magic perception, Lu Ren was surprised to find that Fa Fuwei and Vera were hugging her one after another.

"You're awake, sister."

After Vera noticed that Lu Ren had woken up, she stuck her head out to talk to her, while Fa Fuwei fell asleep together during the long wait.

"Really...when did you come back? Why didn't you wake me up?"

"Sister, you always sleep very late."

Lu Ren stood up gently, trying not to disturb Fa Fuwei. This time it was Lu Ren's turn to try not to wake up Fa Fuwei.

After getting up, Lu Ren put his hand on Fafuwei's head, feeling the warmth of Fafuwei coming from his hand, and Lu Ren's heart gradually healed of the hurt he had suffered yesterday.

"It's good to be back. Is the school okay?"

While caressing Fa Fuwei, Lu Ren asked Vera about the situation in the school. Judging from the fact that the amulet Lu Ren gave them was not activated, they should not have encountered any danger in the school.

"Well, everything is fine, except that there was an explosion in the upper school department on Wednesday."

"I don't know if it's true or not. Are you okay?"

"We're fine. Fafuwei is still dueling with others in school."

"Ah? How could it be? Has someone bullied you? Otherwise, it would be impossible for her to fight with others according to her character."

"It's Yimi Zlawheit. Fafuwei didn't know that you and her had reconciled, so when she saw her in school, Fafuwei went up to teach her a lesson."

"Hey, that's it. That guy was also in school. What happened next? Fafuwei wasn't hurt, was she?"

"No, Fafuwei covered the other side."

"chiffon……"

Lu Ren was speechless and said, who did Vera learn this from? Wait a minute, did she learn it from herself?

"As long as it's okay, it'll be okay..."

"Hmm... Master Lu Ren?"

Just as the two were chatting about Fa Fuwei's feats in school, Fa Fuwei woke up sleepily.

"Fafuwei, you're awake."

Seeing Fa Fuwei wake up, Lu Ren immediately gave her a hug. Although Fa Fuwei, who was hugged by Lu Ren, had not yet understood the current situation, she smiled back at Lu Ren.

"Ah."
