Flora's confusion put a smile on her face.
"She is learning though," Misho answered.
"She is, isn't she?"
Erika stared at Flora's face.
"M-master… She's staring at me too intently."

"I've seen your talk with the pair from Jeova. What happened?" she asked.

Seeing his hesitation, Erika frowned.

Before he could finish his words, Maia raised her hand and stopped him.
