"Miss Ophelia, if you don't like it, then just think of it as my offense."

"...increase the intensity." Ophelia said abruptly.

Ian couldn't believe what he was hearing.

"Miss Ophelia, what did you say?"

"I say."

The top student magician looked up at the man.

"Give me more strength next time."

"I just like it when my mind goes blank on Sunday and I don't remember anything."

"..."

"..."

The atmosphere in the bathroom seemed a little quiet.

Only the water flowing out of the showerhead fell on the clean ground, making a gurgling sound.

Ian didn't speak, just nodded silently.

But Ophelia didn't seem to want to remain silent.

She went on to say:

"Ian, didn't you just ask me why I hate Sundays?"

"Yes, but...if you don't want to say it, just pretend I didn't ask."

"No, I want to say it now."

Ophelia looked at the mirror, which was obscured by the water vapor, with a complicated expression.

"It's not Sunday I actually hate."

"But...that feeling of inescapability."

"My parents would meet with me on Sundays and they would tell me how to be a good student and how to contribute to the family."

"I know what they said is right...but I can't accept it."

"That means what they said is wrong." Ian suddenly interrupted Ophelia at this time.

"Wha, what?" The top student magician looked at the man with confusion, "How could they be wrong?"

"Of course it's wrong."

Ian reached out and wiped away the water mist on the mirror.

"Why does everyone have to be a good student? And why does everyone have to make their own contribution to the family?"

"Because I'm a magician!"

"Does a magician have to do this kind of thing?"

Ian looked at Ophelia's body in the mirror.

"Furthermore, if you don't do this kind of thing, can't you be called a magician?"

"Obviously that's not the case, right?"

"You are lying." Ophelia turned away, "No magician would not want to revitalize his family."

"It is indeed a fallacy."

Ian makes no secret of the bad nature of his words.

"But since you can't accept this kind of thing, you even start to want to escape."

"Then the so-called right principles are better than my wrong principles?"

"Ophelia, you have the right to refuse something."

“You can avoid things you don’t have to do and just live for yourself.”

"..."

Ophelia's pupils dilated slightly - she seemed to have figured out something.

"Live for yourself...like you are now?"

"It's okay if you feel that way - at least I won't mind."

"Then what is our relationship now?" Ophelia then asked the next question.

"Of course they are friends."

"Because they are friends gained in this special environment, they are more valuable friends." Ian gave the standard answer directly.

"I don't understand." Ophelia held Ian's hand.

"But it seems pretty good."

"Can I see you every Sunday from now on?"

"...As long as you don't mind." Ian replied.

"Of course I don't mind." Ophelia felt the warmth on the man's palm.

"But don't tell Matthew what happened today."

"I... don't want her to know."

"And-" Ophelia's voice was a little quieter.

"Next time, I feel like we have to keep each other safe."

"Then use magic to achieve it. You should be able to find this magic, right?"

"What you said makes sense... Then let me look for it."

Ophelia said this and smiled rarely.

Ian's friend?

What a wonderful title.

But she knew that because of this status, she would never hate Sundays again.

168. Matthew’s further education/skirt count/watch plan (4k)

Time passed slowly and unconsciously.

Olga Marie officially implemented the Master Watch plan previously proposed by Ian to the entire Chaldea.

The 49 Masters formed several watch teams according to explicit or implicit agreements.

Everyone needs to announce their whereabouts in the team regularly.

Once someone loses contact, report it immediately.

Ian followed his original idea and pulled Mashu and Fujimaru Ritsuka into his watch team that day.

And Ophelia did not join.

It's not that Ian didn't invite her, but that she voluntarily gave up on such a thing.

Although Ophelia said that "Mashu and Fujimaru Ritsuka are a burden", Ian knew that she was actually just avoiding Mashu.

But it doesn't matter.

Ophelia is still capable, and even if she is not by her side, Ian is not worried about what will happen.

Besides—

Since that day, Ophelia took the initiative to chat with her more frequently.

You can completely think of her as a hidden group member.

But then again.

Ian never expected that someone would take the initiative to apply to join his watch group.

What's the name?

correct.

mustard seeds.

The chat avatar is a green lotus floating in a pond, with a line of small words "The best is like water" written below.

The actual age is unclear, but based on this tone, Ian feels that his mental state must be at least 80 or [-] years old.

And what Akuko did was indeed in line with this feeling.

Not only did he change the group name to something like "Chaldea Reading Club" as soon as he came in, but he also shared some links to electronic books while reporting his whereabouts every day.

Rich historical literature such as "Historical Records of Qin and Han Dynasties" and "Ode to Afang Palace".

It was as if he really regarded the entire watch group as his own club.

but--

Ian didn't hate Akuko's behavior.

After all, it at least shows that she still cares about the watch team.

And speaking of it——

Ian remembered Ophelia saying that she seemed to have been a technician at Chaldea, and she was promoted as a master candidate because of her outstanding talents.

This experience is clearly one worth sharing.

Let's meet her when we have the chance.

As for now——

Ian looked at the girl in front of him who was temporarily used as a desk, and his expression became subtle.

That was a service method that Matthew, as a "tool", had just learned.

Although she has no talent, she is very studious and hardworking.

After a little education from Ian, she understood many things that she could do within her abilities.

Like the lying posture at the beginning, the kneeling posture at the back, and the current "69" posture.

At this moment, she was lying on Ian's body wearing a Chaldean uniform.

The girl's legs were slightly spread in front of the man, forming a platform behind her on which the book could be placed.

Ian was able to read the book Ophelia had given him in the comfort of his bed.

That was the advanced manual from the Clock Tower—but it was the version that Ophelia had annotated, and it was covered with various sticky notes.

She seemed very worried that her sex partner wouldn't be able to read the book.

But the truth is just the opposite.

Not only can Ian easily understand the above content, but sometimes he can even add some new understanding to it.

of course.

Ian didn't do this to save face - he had never been the type to let his vanity inflate.

But these things overlapped to a considerable extent with his memories.

Ian gradually realized the gold content of the sentence "Magic is a mystery that continues from ancient times to this day."

It's just that he certainly can't reveal his thoughts to anyone - this is not something that can be easily explained.

But then again.

The first Britain brought to itself "memory projections" and "inhuman bodies";

It stands to reason that the second time Heian Kyo should have some feedback to himself.

But Ian hasn't felt any change until now.

Did the first result mislead me?

Or maybe you haven’t found the real feedback yet?
