The relationship between Mazao and me has undoubtedly deepened recently. I am very satisfied and joyful about this change. However, I am not keen to share the full story behind it with others, especially with Little Bowl No. 2.
It feels like I'm committing the same deception I did with Mazao by contriving motives to get close to her in front of Little Bowl No. 2. Knowing that Little Bowl No. 2 can see through lies, I definitely can't go on making stuff up to her. But I also realize that I can't avoid this topic. Moreover, she probably has known from the start that I've lied in that regard.
Among the people I know, when it comes to understanding Mazao, she is undoubtedly the best. Hence, I may need to consult her on many matters about Mazao in the future. And when it comes to issues regarding the Void Realm, who knows how much we may need to work together. It's better to be honest with her now.
