The washbasin was set outside, and there was a mirror above it, in which my accustomed face was reflected.
How does Mazao regard me, exactly? This question rose again in my mind. Although I inquired Little Bowl last night, desiring to know whether Mazao might develop romantic feelings for me, even Little Bowl could not guarantee a conclusion. After all, Mazao had repeatedly shown her disgust and contempt for "adult men who like little girls" in front of her.
Little Bowl suggested I should not directly confront Mazao about her true feelings towards me, so for the time being, I decided to heed her advice. Yet, it made things rather complicated.
Simply being Mazao's best friend or like a family member would naturally not satisfy me. If she truly harbored no such thoughts towards me, then what should I do to advance our relationship?
