Cordelia questioned Ronnie on the way to the Witchs shop as she held a basket which contained the muffin.

Say, Ronnie, Id like to talk to Sensei alone today. Could you go outside in the meantime?

Okay.

Eh, is it really okay?

I said its okay Ojou-sama, you said it, didnt you?

She had certainly asked so, but she was a little surprised that Ronnie had answered so quickly. She didnt think he would refuse, but she thought he was going to hesitate for a bit. But Ronnie naturally accepted.

Of course, Ill be waiting outside the shop. If Im too far away, then I wont be able to make it if something happens and there would be no point in me being an escort.

Yes, of course.

Something must be bothering you for you to say that. Then you should quickly resolve it.

Ronnie stretched and crossed his arms behind his neck. He looked as if he was ignorant of tension, as usual. Thanks to that, Cordelias tension also went away somewhat.

They eventually arrived at the Witchs shop. Cordelia separated from Ronnie for now and entered the shop.

Welcome, Dilly-chan.

Hello, Sensei.

The Witch spoke to her as soon as she entered the shop. The Witch put the bottles of medicinal herbs onto the shelf before walking up to Cordelia.

Thank you for the other day. It was a disaster, but are you alright, with a lot of things?

Yes. Ill be visiting Oulu Village again.

The Witch, who had sounded worried, might have also been worried about Cordelias physical condition when she said a lot of things, but Cordelia didnt mention it. Im almost in good condition, and Sensei would just be worried if she found out that I spent time in bed. Cordelia held out the basket with both hands to deflect the conversation.

I made the muffins that Sensei taught me today.

She smiled when she held out the basket, and the Witch blinked a few times before relaxing and smiling.

Oh my, theyre lovely. Ill make you a special cup of tea.

Thank you very much. Actually, I didnt bring tea in anticipation for that.

Cordelia replied a little impishly, and the Witch also joked.

Mick was very remorseful. He apologised to Toto for ripping her papers, and he copied Laras materials to give to Toto.

Oh my.

Lana didnt want to give him her copy because she thought he was going to tear it up, but he kept lowering his head to her. She finally lent it to him, and he copied it. But Toto told him that his writing was messy, so he rewrote it over and over again.

It would be nice if they could make up.

But he said he didnt want to see you again.

Why is that?

Apparently, he wants to apologise in a cool way. However, he hasnt found the way to do that yet, so he doesnt want you to come for a while.

Im very troubled by that.

Cordelia smiled bitterly while feeling relieved that he hadnt rejected her outright. She didnt understand what a cool apologise was.

But the other kids want you to visit, so hell have to put up with it.
