Chapter 46: Wasps

"I was going to say boredom." Doreen said, with a confused look on her face. "Why did you say that about being a researcher? Do I not look like someone who is intelligent enough to research?!"

"What's your intellect?" Lucy asked.

"Why would that matter? That stat only helps you learn spells and increases their effectiveness." Doreen said. "That has nothing to do with research!"

"Keep telling yourself that." Lucy said. "So, you are risking your life to satiate your boredom? What are you a masochist?"

Doreen's face turned red from embarrassment. "N-no!" She yelled.

"So, you are." Lucy replied with a wicked smile. "I will remember that for later."

"Don't you be planning anything!" Doreen demanded. "I am not a masochist!"

"Well, we came back at an interesting time." Joshua said as he now stood right behind the girls with Tilly right behind him.

"I didn't know that about you Doreen." Tilly said. "It's okay we all have different things that make us excited. I don't kink shame."
