Chapter 57-2: Meeting of the Poles -Confrontation-

"It's... it's... it happened so fast. Plus, I've known them for so long."

"Also... I understand how that feels. Especially after her brother died." Becca, who tried to clarify her point and get the point across, caused some, like Drennis and Cayden, to twitch their lips.

Master Evan watched, folding his arms across his chest and sighing.

"Huh?" Cayden sighed.

"Forget it. You did what you wanted anyway." She always did what she wanted. She gave them puppy dog eyes, then eventually stopped listening once they gave up... How cunning!

"Ahahahahaha," Mr. Evan, who had observed the situation up until this point and saw everyone's clear and hidden expressions, and that the tense atmosphere had begun to ease, laughed spontaneously from the bottom of his heart, lightening the mood.
