Chapter 302: Chapter 97 - Banemor territory - part 2 - Picking up Reo (part 3)

After a few minutes of walking Zoemi and Ririe reached the dark mansion – by that time the magicless girl ended up feeling rather comfortable around the black-haired boy, leaning her head against his shoulder as they walked.

"Benevirau is gone, but what about the other servants and Reo?"

Zoemi glanced at the girl and motioned at the silent mansion with his chin.

"Are you telling me that everyone else is asleep already?"

He added, raising his brows.

"No, no. It's not like that – sir Benevirau is the only person actually living here, there is no staff aside from him at all."

The girl twitched and blushed, straightening her back as if she only just now realized how familiar she acted around the black-haired boy, before answering.

"What about you then...?"

Zoemi's brow raised even higher as he pointed out the flaw in her explanation.

"I...! I am only a maid in training... I do not count as an actual staff yet!"
