Frilian: This Demon Isn't So Cold

Afterwards, Sylvia prepared to go to the local church to express her gratitude, and Carlos accompanied her.

"It feels like we're on a date," Sylvia said, holding the holy book and glancing up at Carlos beside her, her eyes crinkling with a smile.

"Really?" Carlos was oblivious; this touched a nerve. "We just came out together?"

"Hmph." Sylvia said smugly, "Going out alone with someone of the opposite sex you both know, what else could it be but a date?"

"It could also be a father-daughter relationship," Carlos said casually.

Sylvie: "..."

"You said those things to me before!" Sylvia pouted, clearly angry.

However, she is also very cute when she is angry.

"So that's why I came out with you, wasn't I?"

"You pass."

"The difficulty level you set is really low."

"Just because it's you."

"There's no benefit in trying to please me."

"Did you feel any emotional fluctuation because of what I said just now? Even just a little bit?" She ran up to Carlos and continued walking backwards.

"I'm a little flattered." Carlos kept an eye on any obstacles that might appear ahead, lest this guy who doesn't watch where he's going accidentally trip and fall.

"Right, right?" Sylvia put her hands behind her back and returned to his side. "That proves my efforts were worthwhile."

"Whatever makes you happy," Carlos couldn't argue with her.

I hope you'll be happy too.

"Um."

After ending their conversation, they arrived at the local church.

People injured for various reasons kept walking in from all around, and those who came out, though no longer wounded, still had expressions on their faces that suggested they had been injured not long ago.

Sylvia went inside, and Carlos watched her from outside.

Goddess magic... It's a pity he's already read the holy book; none of the discovered goddess magic spells can solve his problem.

Perhaps such magic will appear in the future, but time is not on their side.

"Thank you so much for coming to find me and bringing me the holy book, which made me realize that there is still so much I can do." Inside, Sylvia was thanking the clergy in the local church. "However, as I just said, there are still many things I want to do that I haven't accomplished, so I'm sorry."

"It's okay, everyone is free to do whatever they want. May the goddess bless you."

They sent her their blessings.

After all, they were devoted followers of the goddess, and they believed without a doubt that Sylvia would do what she was supposed to do.

"Um!"

Sylvia retorted, then without lingering, she pulled Carlos away.

"I remember that the goddess's precepts require monks to maintain their purity, right?" Carlos said meaningfully.

"It's alright, there's a rule inside that we can't drink or gamble, but I've seen monks do it before," Sylvia said, trying to explain her behavior.

"Can this really be considered a faithful follower of the goddess?"

"If even the goddess doesn't care, then you shouldn't say anything more!" Sylvia reached out and covered Carlos's mouth.

She pulled him along as they headed back to the hotel.

On the way, Carlos didn't forget what had happened before. He bought some necklaces, the pendants of which were mirrors with protective shields. Originally intended for people to observe their appearance anytime, anywhere, Carlos thought they were also suitable for casting [Image Recall Magic]. The craftsmanship of these necklaces was far superior to the silver pieces that Frilian had brought before.

"Let's record some more," Carlos said to them with a slight smile.

"What a hassle, what's the point of this?" In the hotel, Celia, who had been called out, couldn't quite understand Carlos's behavior.

"Because that way they won't forget," Sylvia explained for Carlos. "If we're gone in the future, our master can also use this to remember me and our master."

"I won't miss you guys."

Then, as she was saying this, Celia was pulled over by a laughing Vlamera and forcefully placed in the middle.

"Master didn't laugh last time, so this time we have to make a good laugh."

"I do not understand."

"In short, if Master doesn't laugh, we'll keep waiting until he does." Vlame used what appeared to be a threat.

Hearing this, Celia couldn't help but laugh. "You really dare to say that."

In that instant, Carlos used the [Image Capture] spell to freeze Seria's smile, and the image also included the people next to her.

"When did you learn the [Image Recall] magic?" Frillie, who was also finding it rather boring, immediately looked at him.

"This magic isn't hard to learn, it's just that you're not interested."

"Do you think I don't want to? I want to learn any kind of magic!" Frillie exclaimed angrily. "But my master won't teach me!"

She continued, "Besides, I've always been watching my grandmaster; there's no way she could have secretly taught you!"

"Really?" However, Carlos silenced Frillie with just one sentence: "So you were watching your master while you were sleeping this morning?"

"This..." Frillian fell silent, but she soon realized something was wrong.

"So, you all secretly learned magic while I was sleeping?!" Frillie felt herself about to throw a tantrum. "That's so mean!"

"Alright, alright." Vlame went over to soothe Frillie, who was about to explode. "Once I've learned it, I'll teach you, okay?"

"Are you trying to comfort a child?" Carlos laughed.

"I think you're envious?" Frilian said provocatively to him, enjoying her master's comfort.

Seeing this, Sylvia was not to be outdone and began to grope Carlos, saying, "He only needs me."

"You guys really are..." Vlame was both amused and exasperated. Were all these people children?

"Enough of that. Come and see what I just recorded." Carlos opened the pendant, and the images he had just recorded were floating inside. "As expected, capturing images is the ultimate way to use [Image Capture Magic]."

Staged photos almost never capture the soul of candid shots.

Frillie leaned closer to look at the screen and thought she didn't look good at all in it. "I think it was taken secretly."

"Frilian, do you have a problem with me?" Carlos was a little puzzled. Why was she always targeting him?

"Maybe it's because they think you photographed her badly," Sylvia said with a smile. "I look much better than her in this picture."

Whether it's her demeanor, temperament, or figure, she is vastly different from the completely expressionless Frilline.

"One more time!" Frillie protested.

"That wouldn't be a candid shot," Carlos said, declining Frilian's invitation for a posed photo.

Of course, this was definitely not a candid shot.

Then Frillie got even angrier.

Just then, a surge of magical energy emanated from them. It turned out that Celia, who had been watching them play, had used the [Image Recall] spell.

"Hmm, not bad this time." Celia was very pleased with her masterpiece. The picture of Frilian was even cuter than the one Carlos had recorded last time. Next to her were Vlame, who was troubled by the group, and Sylvia, who was smug. There was also Carlos, who was serious, and herself, who was watching them. The whole scene looked like a happy family.

"The snapshot was correct." Thus, she affirmed Carlos's conclusion and ended the debate.

[Photo Magic]...it doesn't seem so boring after all.

Celia held the pendant and then hung it around her neck.
