The night grew deeper and quieter.
At this time, Luciel was sipping tea while waiting for Liyue to return.
Mino had already fallen asleep at the table.
Knock, knock.
There was a knock on the door.
Luciel glanced at the rabbit-eared girl who was still asleep, then got up and opened it.
Standing outside was a white-haired girl, and beside her, a woman with a cloth wrapped around her head.
"Liyue, come in quickly." Luciel smiled warmly and stepped aside.
When Liyue brought the others inside, Luciel wasn't surprised. The three-colored lizard outside had already warned him.
After all, Xiao Cai had just been scolded by him earlier—because it had frightened the rabbit-eared girl.
Now it hid itself in a nearby alley, keeping its aura suppressed, lying there silently.
"I'm back." Liyue entered with a bright look, carrying a large cloth bag.
"And you—come in too," Luciel said gently, looking at the other woman who hesitated at the doorway.
