章 72: Impostors (Pt. II)

"Whoa...! Looks like the Shizuka I know is back to normal, haha~" He mused to himself, chuckling all the while and hugged her lightly back.

Shizuka broke the hug and pulled away, a slight frown was now visible on her face, earning a worried look from the male. "What seems to be the matter now, Shizuka?" Asteroth asked the girl softly, his gentle voice comforting her in a way.

"... Someone's there... Imposing as another me," Shizuka replied is monotone voice, and when she looked up, Asteroth could see that one of her eyes became red and the other stayed blue.

'... Her magic's back, huh...?' Asteroth smiled upon the thought, "... So, what'll we do? Fight?"

"I can't use magic--"

"Well, now you can-- temporarily though. Doesn't look like it's fully back. Looks like the gods and goddesses have blessed you, Shizuka..." Asteroth stood up and walked forward slowly, "How about we just observe them for a while~?"
