"Row."

"Wait a minute."

After Ian finished his reply, he looked at Matthew, who was working hard to interpret the identity of "tool".

He looked at her and she nodded.

Everything fell into place, and all that was left was just the engineering interplay between screws and nuts.

Gollum.

The clock on the table records the time when the white spring flows into the mountains.

The urgent task in the morning was finally over.

Ian took her to take a bath, and after blow-drying her hair, he took her back to bed with a shy face.

He covered her with the quilt and said:

"Matthew, I'm going out for a while, can you wait for me in the room like this?"

"Waiting for senior like this?" Ma Xiu glanced at the body under the quilt and blushed.

"Yeah." Ian nodded, "Matthew, aren't you willing?"

"No!" The girl shook her head.

"What senior has ordered...I will do it well."

"That's fine."

Ian kissed Matthew gently on the forehead.

"wait for me."

"Hmm~"

Of course, Ian didn't let Matthew stay in bed like this because of his own bad taste.

He had to make sure she wouldn't leave her room now.

The main reason is to reduce the possibility of encountering risks-after all, the mole is likely to be in Chaldea.

On the other hand, it is also to rationalize this kind of thing.

Compared to making Matthew realize that he is a "burden":

It would be better to make her feel like she is being "requested".

This way you won't feel uncomfortable.

Everything is arranged properly.

Ian left his room and headed towards 016 where Ophelia was.

ten minutes later.

He came to Ophelia's door.

"I have arrived."

The man sent a message to the other party.

Soon, the door opened.

The girl with the blindfold pulled Ian in.

pat.

The door closed again and the corridor returned to silence.

"You bastard!"

Ophelia supported her waist with one hand and pointed at Ian with the other.

"Didn't you agree not to do anything to Mashu?!"

“What does that picture mean?!”

"You whore! A shameless stinky man! A despicable gangster full of dirty thoughts! How could there be a candidate for Master like you?!"

The top-student magician from the Clock Tower cursed several times in one breath, and he was out of breath.

It could be seen that she was really angry.

But Ian still looked calm.

He even walked aside and poured a glass of water for her.

"Are you tired of scolding?"

"Drink some water before you continue scolding, okay?"

Looking at the water being handed to her, Ophelia knew that her words just now had no impact on him at all.

"you!"

"How can you be so shameless?!"

"This is not shameless, Miss Ophelia."

Ian put the cup on the round table aside.

"I just don't want to talk to you when you're angry."

"That would be very inefficient."

"..."

Ophelia's reaction was not slow.

She immediately realized that what Ian actually meant was "He did it for a reason."

She calmed down a little.

"What do you want to say?"

"What's the nonsense about 'No one wants Matthew, so you took action'?"

"This time it's not just that."

Ian was not impatient because of Ophelia's just scolding.

Instead, he became more patient.

"Miss Ophelia, can you listen to what I have to say?"

"..."

Ophelia is not the kind of person who refuses to listen to anything when she is angry.

After thinking for a moment, she nodded.

"Okay, I want to see how you plan to argue."

However, Ian is not at all prepared to defend his actions too much.

Sincerity is the best nirvana.

He directly told Ophelia exactly what happened in the bathroom last night.

He knew that this kind of thing itself had enough impact.

"This?"

Ophelia was stunned after hearing what happened.

"Ma Xiu, did I really confess to you like this?"

"Yeah." Ian nodded.

"Miss Ophelia, you should know that there is no need for me to lie about this kind of thing."

Although she wanted to refute Ian, Ophelia knew that what he said was indeed the truth.

After all, if you ask Ma Xiu about this kind of thing, she will tell you the relationship honestly without any suspicion.

And after learning about this situation, Ophelia had another thing that she was very concerned about.

"so……"

The top student magician looked at the man in front of him.

"You just promised Ma Xiu?"

Ian nodded first, then shook his head.

"Yes, but not quite."

"What does it mean?"

Ophelia's cheeks turned slightly red.

She still remembered Matthew's shy look in the photo - it was obviously a state of happiness for doing such a thing.

If you think about it from this perspective... then you should probably agree.

"I didn't maintain a boyfriend-girlfriend relationship with her, but it was definitely a step further physically."

Ian explained unabashedly.

"That photo should illustrate the situation."

"no!"

Ophelia was very anxious.

"Aren't you playing tricks on Matthew?!"

"Yes." Ian nodded, "Even I think so."

"But if you don't do this, Matthew will be even sadder."

"So you still feel like you're at a disadvantage by helping her?"

"No." Ian shook his head in denial.

"From a man's perspective, I certainly didn't suffer."

"After all, Matthew is really working hard to do things that cater to my preferences - I won't deny this."

"But I can't think of a better way and it's something that exists."

"Miss Ophelia, if you have any better way, please tell me."

"..."

Ophelia was silent.

She really didn't know how to handle this situation.

Although Ian's approach was unethical, it was the best choice at that time.

After all, if such a humble request was rejected, it would be a huge blow to Mashu.

"Ian, you are really..."

Ophelia looked away.

"Always combine your desires into things that no one can blame."

"Thank you for the compliment." Ian smiled slightly.

Ophelia found that she was somewhat used to her shamelessness.

"Then can I ask you another question?"

"of course."

"Do you... like Matthew?"

"I don't like it at all." Ian answered this question without any hesitation.

"but--"

"I also hope she can feel the happiness she should have."
