"Eh?"
Talia's eyes widened at Lanci's unexpected response.
Her face quickly felt hot.
She had assumed Lanci would vehemently deny it, but she hadn't expected him to agree so suddenly.
Talia was a little flustered.
No, no, she couldn't be deceived by him.
Surely, he was about to say something infuriating in the next moment!
Talia's unsettled feelings made her more worried about Lanci noticing any flaws, so she slowed her steps, staying behind him as he led her, instead of walking side-by-side.
She absolutely couldn't let Lanci see her expression now.
Yet, after waiting a long time, Lanci remained silent.
This left Talia unsure of what to say to him.
She used the back of her left hand and her sleeve to cover her flushed cheeks, turning her gaze away and repeatedly pondering what Lanci had meant earlier.
The two of them ascended the stairs, with the Corridor of Rationality and the Prosperity Corridor gradually unfolding before them.
