"It's rare to see you dressed like this." Laine joked, having won the champion duel and advanced in battle, blessed eternally by the Lake Fairy, Laine had no reason not to be happy.
"This skirt is very short and easily exposes me. I only wear it in front of you because you like it. Actually, I don't really like wearing stockings." The female sorcerer stretched out her slender fingers and lightly tugged at the black stockings on her leg: "Wearing stockings easily attracts men's gazes, which I hate. Also, it's more convenient to wear pants in a fight, as skirts can easily get torn."
"Yes, you're not wrong." Laine noticed Teresa looked preoccupied, so he tried asking, "What's wrong? You seem a bit unhappy."
"Laine... I, we might have to go our separate ways. I received a notification from the Council, there has been new progress in the excavation of the Wizard Empire ruins..." The female sorcerer unhappily told Laine what had happened.
