"Witch..."
"Hmm?" Ash, who was savoring the strawberry on top of a cake, blinked and saw Sonia trying to regain her focus with a dreamy look in her eyes.
"Should we call the witches in?" Sonia asked softly.
"Why call them in?"
"Aren't we all gathering tonight?"
"They didn't come in with us," Ash said. "Let's just accept their kind gesture without any guilt."
"But the witches would surely want to come in. Look at how much they were looking forward to tonight. Vishi was left in a bind by you at noon, and Weiser hasn't rested for days, working on constructing the Heavenly Kingdom..." Sonia said. "You should also consider their feelings."
"I will make it up to them," Ash said. "Tonight is your turn, and I occasionally want to enjoy a world of just us two."
Sonia shook her head. "That's fine, but unnecessary. We're always together anyway; that mode of interaction makes us happiest."
