Mashu pulled the door handle and found that the door was not locked, so she gritted her teeth and pushed it open.

"Senior, I'm coming in."

Wow – Wow –

The bathroom door opened and then closed.

The girl's figure has disappeared.

The bathroom was filled with steam, and the mirror had become so blurry that it was useless and difficult to make out the body shape.

In the dim light, the only thing Matthew could see when he broke in was Ian's strong body.

Normally, you wouldn’t feel anything because of the covering of clothes, but in today’s environment of openness, it is a real visual impact.

But Matthew had no time to appreciate such a body - her attention was still on the message just sent by Ophelia.

"Matthew?"

Ian looked at the pink-haired girl who broke in with surprise and confusion.

"What are you doing?"

"Can you please go out first? We can talk about it later!"

"Do not."

Mash shook her head.

Her face was red, but her voice was firmer than ever before.

"I'm not going out."

"I have something to ask you now."

"..."

Looking at Matthew's appearance, Ian realized that she must have discovered something.

Regardless of the slightly awkward situation, he asked back:

"So, what do you want to ask?"

"Senior, do you have a girlfriend?!" Mashu mustered up the courage to ask the question in her mind.

"No."

Ian answered bluntly.

"In Chaldea, I don't have a girlfriend, not even one."

"Okay, can we go out now?"

"Senior, you are lying!"

Mashu looked directly at Ian in front of him.

"You obviously have a girlfriend!"

"Then Matthew, can you tell me where my girlfriend is?" Ian looked at Matthew helplessly.

"Will becoming a candidate for the Master of Chaldea give me a girlfriend?"

"It's not Chaldean hair!"

Mash shook her head.

"It's Miss Ophelia! Senior, you and her... have a very close relationship, right?!"

Matthew didn't want to use the word "boyfriend and girlfriend" to describe the relationship between Ian and Ophelia.

after all--

He didn't admit it himself.

"..."

Ian was silent for a moment, then asked again:

"Mashu, what did you see?"

"she……"

Mashu recalled the message she had just seen on her phone.

"She texted you asking if you like black lace bras!"

"what?!"

Ian's brain was shocked for a moment by this information, but he quickly recovered.

It's weird for other people to do this kind of thing.

But if it was Ophelia——

It doesn't seem so strange anymore.

After all, as an ultra-orthodox magician, she thinks about things from a different perspective than ordinary people.

"Senior, what on earth is going on?!"

Mashu showed a rare impatience.

"..."

Ian looked at Matthew in front of him. After a moment of silence, he asked again:

"Mashu, do you really want to know why?"

"miss you!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Mashu felt a strong impact.

Ian pushed her against the wall and held her hands tightly.

"Senior, what are you doing?"

Ian did not respond to Matthew's panicked words, but picked up a towel beside him, used it as a makeshift rope, and tied her hands.

And then--

He began to unbutton her dress.

Mashu was both scared and didn't dare to resist.

She had a vague feeling that something bad was about to happen.

However, it does not.

Ian stopped after unbuttoning the first button of Matthew's clothes.

"Mashu, do you understand what's going on now?"

"I'm not the good senior you think I am - I'm just a jerk."

"So what happened just now is just the beginning, and there will definitely be more to come in the future."

"All right."

Ian withdrew his hand.

"Mashu, I have finished explaining."

"If you feel scared, you can leave now."

"..."

The bad thing she expected did not happen. Mashu, with her hands tied, looked at the man in front of her.

She realized that she seemed to have touched another side of him.

"So, Senior, you and Miss Ophelia are really not boyfriend and girlfriend?"

"No." Ian replied firmly, "At least not for now."

"Then why would she send you such a message?"

“It’s probably an equal exchange.”

"Exchange of equal value?"

"Yes." Ian nodded. "I learned magic from her, and she got some spiritual sustenance from me."

“That’s the kind of relationship we have.”

Hearing this answer, Mashu felt relieved.

But soon she realized something.

"senior."

"In that case—"

"You are so good to me because..."

"..."

Although it was a bit cruel, Ian did not hesitate - he never dragged his feet when doing things.

He nodded.

"Yes, you are right, Mashu."

"I'm just 'using' you in some way."

"Well...if you want to scold me, you can do it now. I don't mind."

however--

The anger Ian had envisioned did not occur.

Not only that, Mashu actually showed a relieved expression.

"Great."

"Great?" Ian was a little surprised. "Matthew, don't be like this. If you want to scold me, you can do it directly."

"Do not."

Mash smiled and shook her head.

"I'm happy now."

“When I was around my seniors, I always felt it was unreal.”

"It's like stepping on an icy river. You don't know when you'll fall."

"Now that I've heard that my senior is indeed 'using' me, I feel a sense of peace of mind... I feel much better all of a sudden."

"..."

Ian frowned slightly.

"Mashu, why do you think so?"

"If you knew you were 'used' by me, you should be angry. It would be reasonable for you to scold me, blame me, or even hit me."

“It’s only reasonable to do this.”

"No." Mash shook her head again.

"Senior, I can't do this."

"Because... even if it's something like 'taking advantage', Senior is the first one to do that to me."

“And my predecessors brought me a lot of good things.”

"They're all real - having the joy of holding hands in front of everyone, drinking from the same iced drink, and living together like this."

"This is something I would never have dared to think about before, but my seniors helped me experience it all."

"so--"

Matthew raised her head and looked at Ian with admiration.

"Even if I'm being 'used', I still feel happy."

"Senior, I like you."
