As I separated with Himeko who went back to their table, I took my time to visit Aya and check on her.
Even though she was immersed in reading the light novel she bought yesterday, as soon as I approached her, the girl turned towards me with a smile.
Hugging her from the back, the girl started summarizing what she read to me.
Seeing her enthusiastically doing that, like always, I listened intently while engaging her with some questions even though I already knew the answer. Because of that, it made her even more engaged with our conversation.
The girl clearly enjoyed what she was reading despite the long and absurd title it possessed. Apparently, there was a deep plot about it that went about redemption of the introverted girl and her beloved Demon King, restoring the world to how it was once.
Since she's already used to retelling the story in a clear manner, I easily followed it and even without reading that book, it felt like I was there with her.
