Chapter 55: Chapter 55: Compensation [14/20]

Renji knew the way to Eileen's home, but when faced with the locked door in front of him, there was nothing he could do. After all, his relationship with the girl hadn't reached a point where Eileen would give him her house key.

Apologizing silently to Eileen in his heart, Renji motioned for the nun standing nearby to keep her distance.

Maria remained silent throughout, watching the young man's actions from behind as they approached the locked door. It wasn't until Renji didn't use a key but kicked the door open forcefully that a sweet smile appeared on the nun's face.

Of course, it was a fleeting expression.

"Come in." Renji didn't look back at Maria, just gestured behind him and then entered the house first.

"Sorry for intruding."

Following him inside, Maria used a soft and timid voice, even though there was no one else in the room to greet. This reflected her character as a polite and somewhat shy young nun.
