The atmosphere in the living room fell into a brief standoff.
Emily stared at the young mistress of the Phoenix Academy, finding nothing suspicious.
She had somewhat underestimated Phoenix Academy Maggie. Realizing that continuing to question her would yield no answers, Emily simply stood up and said, "You have a point. We should be leaving."
"Don't rush, have dinner before you go."
Phoenix Academy Maggie displayed a smile and cordially urged them to stay.
Emily shook her head. "Staying too long here would be bad for your reputation. Goodbye."
Aozawa, hovering in the air, was somewhat surprised.
Is that it?
In his mind, the conversation would likely be long, with both sides testing each other. He hadn't expected the questioning to end after just a few sentences.
Quick and clean.
He grumbled inwardly. He didn't linger in the living room.
