After that. they all turned their eyes toward Ye Li, their gazes shy yet filled with anticipation—
"This… seems like you can do it even while still wearing clothes…"
"Then wouldn't that mean… anytime, anywhere…"
"What kind of magic is this… too, too…"
"Please, let us try it…"
…..
"Mmm hmm…"
Matilda curiously poked her head in to look…
Just then, a flash of white feline shadow passed by———
Whoosh!
Tailmon jumped onto her shoulder, covering her eyes with its paws, "Guess who~"
Matilda: "?"
"Who are you?"
"I'm Tailmon, the one who's always held in Felicia's arms."
"It's you? So you can talk."
"Of course, I just usually don't feel like talking."
Tailmon chatted with Matilda while staring without blinking: 'So master likes this kind of thing… I need to evolve into this type too…'
…..
The next day.
Kamar-Taj guest room.
Knock, knock, knock...
A gentle knocking sound echoed.
"Phew~ another lovely morning～"
Ye Li propped himself up on one arm, savoring the beauty of life, and reached out toward the side of the bed———
Only to grasp at nothing...
'Oh... right...'
'I teleported from Sunneville's big bed back to this small one... and forgot my clothes...'
Thinking of this.
He simply got out of bed, stark naked, and walked to the door.
The moment he grabbed the doorknob. threads of destiny wove and wrapped around him.
They formed a sleek, stylish white mage robe, inspired by the Kamar-Taj style.
Click.
The door lock turned.
Ye Li opened the door to see a girl in a red top and black skirt, holding a bowl of hot porridge.
"Li~"
Wanda handed him the steaming multigrain porridge and smiled sweetly, "This porridge won't taste good once it cools, so I came to call you. I didn't wake you too early, did I? If you're still sleepy, you can rest more, but the Ancient One said she'll give us a lesson on magic at nine, so don't oversleep."
"Oh, thanks."
Ye Li took the bowl of steaming red-and-white porridge and invited her, "Actually, I'm already up. Want to come in for a bit? We can discuss some magic~"
"Ah, okay."
The girl hesitated a moment, then agreed, stepping lightly into the small guest room.
The room wasn't anything special.
What mattered was the person in it.
"You look really good in that~"
Wanda glanced at Ye Li slurping porridge and asked, "Is that a mage robe issued by Kamar-Taj? Why didn't I get one? Were there only men's sizes left?"
"Slurp slurp～"
Ye Li quickly finished his porridge, wiped his mouth with a tissue, and said,
"If you want one, I can weave it for you."
The moment he said that.
He immediately felt...
Something seemed off.
He had played the role of Dragon King and Thunder God before.
Now, did he have to add 'Weaver Girl' to the list...?
Bah, the gender doesn't even match...
"Weave clothes for me?"
Wanda had seen Ye Li's skills yesterday, so she wasn't surprised by his words. "Looks like your practice is going well~ Let me show you mine———"
She gave a slightly proud wave of her hand, and crimson chaos energy filled the room. A bronze lamp floated up first, followed by the wooden table and bed rising shakily…
Watching her rough application of chaos magic, Ye Li gave a fair evaluation: "Needs improvement. I'll train you when there's a chance... The booklet Ancient One gave you, did you find any issues reading it?"
"There were issues."
"Hmm? What kind of issues?"
Wanda returned the items to their original positions and took out the Darkhold pamphlet, saying, "There are parts I don't understand."
Ye Li let out a breath of relief—it was that kind of "issue."
"Not understanding is normal. Even a genius can't master it all in one night."
The girl frowned in frustration, "Speaking of talent, Pietro..."
"What about him?"
"He read through those magic books too, but there's still no progress."
Ye Li comforted her, "It's okay. There are more ways to become stronger than just magic. Tell him not to worry."
"Mm."
Wanda nodded, "Once I've mastered magic, I'll protect all of you."
"Heh~"
Ye Li smiled warmly.
She really was a good girl. The kind that only blackened in the original timeline because she had no one to rely on…
"Wanda, do you have any wishes or dreams?"
"Ah? Why ask that all of a sudden?"
"No reason, just curious."
"Hmm, I don't have any big wishes. I'm pretty happy right now. In the future... I just hope Pietro and I can find a home and have more family~"
"You will~"
Ye Li held her small hand, trying to make his expression as serious as possible, "Wanda, would you like to be my family?"
This was the perfect moment for some flirting.
However.
But Wanda's response was different from what he expected: "Huh? Didn't you already… kiss me… touch me… Aren't you already my boyfriend? Or… are you trying to hit and run…?"
"Uh...."
Ye Li took a moment to process before realizing—
Wanda wasn't an open-minded, free-spirited American. It seemed Sokovians were relatively conservative...
