Mischievous Mira

After picking up Yumi from the library and grabbing a bite at the ramen place, we head back to the tavern to rest—night has already fallen. As usual, the three of us chat for a few minutes before heading to bed.

"Jack, Sophia, what happened? You both look tired today," Yumi comments.

"Ah, nothing much. It's just been a long day—filling out paperwork at the Adventurer's Guild and practicing some enchantment arts," I reply, opening the window to let in some fresh air. The cool breeze feels refreshing after such a stressful day. I decide against telling Yumi about the Basilisk Order or the archdemon and settle for a few harmless fibs instead.

"Yeah, and we did a lot of walking too," Sophia adds.

"What about you, Yumi? How was your day?" I quickly steer the conversation away.
