Dahlia accepted Nero's phone as if she was in auto mode, but she looked at him in confusion. "My number?"

Monik Lee, the great shaman, already left for her morning prayer routine.

Hence, Nero was left in Dahlia's care.

The two of them were currently in the front yard of the temple while waiting for Neoma, Lewis, and Tan Kim.

"Yes, your number," Nero said. "Didn't I say that already?"

"But why do you need my number?" Dahlia asked, obviously a bit annoyed. "And you're not asking for my number. You're practically demanding me to give my number to you."

"You don't have to give it to me if you don't want to."

He only got interested in being Dahlia's friend after he witnessed her shaman power.

It was great.

If Dahlia could heal minor injuries, then it wouldn't hurt to be friends with her in case he would need her ability later.
