Chapter 156
Blaine, the Hail Magician.
- If you ever need to visit Aquarius, use this invitation. Being unfriendly to outsiders is an unfortunate custom of the Magic Towers, after all.
While recalling his memories of Blaine, Seol also tried to recall his memories of the woman next to him.
"Are you... Fryn?"
"I am! You remembered me?"
"You've changed... quite a bit..."
It wasn't just 'quite a bit'. She changed so much that Seol would have believed if Fryn called herself a shapeshifter.
She had gotten rid of her pigtails and the glasses that made her eyes look small. Now, she had long, luxurious hair and big eyes.
"I've changed, haven't I? It's because I don't have to do exhausting work anymore, I can go back to the tower."
"Should I... be congratulating you for it?"
"Well, it isn't bad news, is it? You have no idea how hard it was for a delicate girl like me to sleep outdoors for so long," said Fryn, feigning tears.
It was evident to everyone in the carriage that she was joking around.
She then followed up with a friendly laugh.
"But... you're exactly the same as I remember you."
"I'm the same?"
"Yeah! The aura of a hero I felt when I first met you, it's still there! I knew I had an eye for people."
Blaine cringed as Fryn made a fuss.
"You have no idea how much of a headache she was, asking every day about when you'd be visiting the tower, Snowman. So, on that note, when will you be visiting?"
"Next time, if I have the chance..."
Seol's response was weak, but Fryn didn't mind at all.
"It's fine! We're joining the meeting this time anyway."
Hearing that the Aquarius Magic Tower was joining the meeting, Seol had more questions.
"But... Why is Aquarius joining a meeting about Libra matters?" asked Seol.
"It's not just us, though. I'm pretty sure every magic tower in Zodiac has a representative."
Frannan nodded after hearing that.
"Yeah. I doubt they're here to assist us directly, just to advise, but... even that is a huge help."
Fryn raised a finger.
"I've heard from various sources that apparently, this discussion will involve an unprecedented number of different organizations, from all societal levels!"
Blaine glanced at Frannan to read his expression before stopping Fryn.
"Fryn, this incident involves Master Bornuil going missing. It is not a light matter. Do not forget to be mindful of your actions."
"Ah... okay..."
But instead, it was Frannan who laughed to lift the mood.
"Hahaha! No need to dampen the mood too much. Who knows, maybe Bornuil just got dementia. You can be mindful once everything's confirmed. It wouldn't be too late then, anyway. But anyway, Blaine..."
"Yes, sir."
"Have you not become an Aspect Magician yet? I thought you'd be the one to become the youngest ever Aspect Magician."
