Felicia sighed as she felt the gaze on her. She knew he had high expectations, but she wasn’t sure she would be able to meet them... In fact, it was far more likely that she couldn’t, so she couldn’t help letting out a sigh.

Well, in that case, maybe she shouldn’t have accepted in the first place...or maybe she shouldn’t even have told him about it.

“But if I could do that, I wouldn’t be going through this trouble...”

“What was that you said? Don’t tell me you’re already...?!”

“No, not yet. Be patient. Didn’t I tell you I would bring it to you when I’m done?”

“How can I possibly wait for that?”

“Why do you say that so brazenly...?”

Felicia averted her gaze as he looked intently at her with an anticipatory smile. His black eyes showed the difference between him and her...and they reminded her of that past day. Even now, she wondered why she’d answered him as she had.

It was too late now, but she’d come to think it had been careless of her. She was finally beginning to trust him, but she hadn’t yet at that point.

Well, maybe it was inevitable, since she hadn’t spoken to another person in decades except for a couple people whom she met once a month. That didn’t make her response any less careless, however. They would be mad if they knew.

“But that might be all right, actually... They’ve been acting distant lately.”

“Are you done now...?!”

“No, I’m not. Sit down.”

She sighed, thinking that she couldn’t even talk to herself aloud anymore.

This might be a good opportunity to fix that habit, though. She’d lived alone for almost her entire life, so she talked to herself often—not out of loneliness, but simply so as not to forget language.

Once, she’d gone for a year or so without speaking and realized she’d forgotten how. She didn’t want that to happen again, so she’d deliberately started voicing her thoughts, and it had become a habit. That was one thing she’d noticed after Soma showed up.

“Well, it doesn’t matter, I suppose...”

“Hmm...?!”

“I understand you’re impatient, but it’s really starting to annoy me, so could you leave?”

“I’d rather not.”

Soma sat down without another word, but his eyes were still glued to her as if to express his enthusiasm.

To be honest, Felicia didn’t have the foggiest idea how he could have so much enthusiasm. She’d never once longed for anything so intensely.

In one sense, however, that was to be expected. Witches were fundamentally givers as opposed to receivers, and since they could cause miracles, they weren’t supposed to wish anything for themselves. That was what Felicia had been taught, at least.

Thinking back, she may not have ever desired anything in the first place.

“Although that’s never caused me any issues...”

Soma didn’t say anything, but...

“It isn’t any less annoying if you get out of your seat silently.”

“What am I supposed to do?!”

“I told you, just sit there and be patient.”

It was partially her own fault for continuing to talk to herself after deciding to break the habit, however.
