"Azrael."
When Raphael's friend introduced herself for the first time to everyone, Essa, who was leaning on the door with a casual expression, suddenly frowned beneath her cloak. Her sharp eyes narrowed as she tilted her head first towards Raphael's friend, Azrael, then slowly back to Raphael, and finally… towards Leo.
Leo nodded with a gentle smile, "Azrael… a cute name, just like you."
"Oh?" Azrael's cheeks flushed a delicate red, and she lowered her gaze for a moment before peeking up at him shyly.
"Come on, sweet talker… you're making this young woman, who just turned twenty-seven and is still single in life, blush, you know~"
Raphael's lips twitched violently… did her friend really just expose her whole situation in a single line?
And...
'What do you mean twenty-seven? You're thirty-three, you liar!!' Raphael screamed inside her head, seething as she watched Azrael fumble like a maiden struck by first love.
