Chapter 6

A few hours later, as nightfall descended, Evangeline made her way towards her room, ready to retire for the night. However, just as she reached the door, a voice called out to her from behind. Startled, she turned around to find Azumi standing there.

"Wait a minute, Evangeline. Tonight, you're going to sleep with us, okay?" Azumi said, her voice carrying a sense of urgency.

Surprised by the sudden change of plans, Evangeline questioned, "What? Why the sudden change?"

"It's for your safety, considering what happened at the dance. You'll sleep with us tonight," Azumi explained, concern evident in her voice.

"Alright, if you think it's best, Mum," Evangeline replied, acquiescing to Azumi's request.

Azumi took Evangeline's hand and led her to her own room, where Misaki was already fast asleep.

"Looks like you're all set to sleep with us," Azumi said with a smile, gesturing towards the bed.

As Evangeline prepared to lie down beside Misaki, a nagging feeling of unease crept into her mind. Though she couldn't quite pinpoint the source of her uneasiness, a sense of foreboding weighed upon her.

"Yes, Mum, I'm ready," she responded, though her reassurance was tempered by lingering doubts.

"Don't worry, everything will be fine. Nothing can happen to you as long as we're here," Azumi assured her, attempting to ease her concerns.

"Okay," Evangeline replied, although a flicker of uncertainty remained as she settled in beside Misaki.

While Azumi took a shower, Evangeline drifted off to sleep, her mind still preoccupied by a sense of impending unease.

Azumi's POV

After finishing her shower, Azumi returned to the room and beheld a heartwarming sight. Misaki was sound asleep, cradling Evangeline in her arms.

"They're both so adorable. It's rare to see them sleeping like that," Azumi murmured, her heart swelling with affection.

She proceeded to get dressed and then reached for a camera, capturing a photograph of the precious moment—Evangeline nestled in Misaki's embrace. With a smile on her face, Azumi climbed into bed beside Evangeline and drifted off to sleep, cherishing the warmth of their bond.

Back to Evangeline's POV

A week later, the day arrived that Evangeline had been eagerly anticipating. She was about to embark on her magical training with Azumi. After her usual routine of showering and a quick breakfast, Julie guided her to the training room, where Azumi awaited her arrival.

"Are you ready to embark on your magical journey, Evangeline?" Azumi asked, her smile brimming with excitement.

"Yes, I am!" Evangeline responded eagerly, her anticipation palpable.

"You can go now, Julie. I will take care of her," Azumi instructed, prompting Julie to bow respectfully before departing, leaving Evangeline alone with Azumi.

"Now, where shall we begin, Mum?" Evangeline inquired, her eyes gleaming with enthusiasm.

"We'll start by discovering what your magical affinity is," Azumi explained. "Shall we?"

"How do we do that?" Evangeline asked, curiosity lacing her voice.

"It's quite simple," Azumi replied, positioning herself behind Evangeline. "Don't be afraid. I will infuse a bit of my own magic into your body. Let me know when you're ready."
