Supreme Magus novel Chapter 596

"You’re really sweet, but you didn’t have to prepare so much stuff. We are going to have a big talk, not a romantic date." Kamila said.

She would have liked to take a shower and change her clothes, but Belius’s arrays made it impossible to use dimensional magic. Once outside the pocket dimension, the food would get cold. Even if Lith could reheat the delicacies with magic, they would still lose part of their flavor.

"We haven’t seen each other for so long that we could as well take it as a date. My past is ugly, a bit complicated, and with a sprinkle of mortal danger, but it’s all in the past. You aren’t going to break up with me, are you?" Lith’s paranoia got knocked into twelfth gear, making her laugh.

"Gods no. I would be a monster to do something like that after how I welcomed you back home this morning. It’s just that I know a lot of bad things happened when you were at the academy. To be honest, I have a gloomy story to tell as well." Kamila sighed.

"Do you want to go first?" Lith asked while pouring her one of Maekosh’s finest beers.

"No way. I’ve waited too long for this. You first."

Lith told her about his early days at the White Griffon academy and how he had unpleasantly met those who he now called friends. He was surprised to discover that once he removed the magical jargon, there wasn’t much to tell.

At least until he talked about Kaduria’s plague first and then Balkor’s attack. Kamila wept when she learned about Protector’s struggle against death to entrust his last words and love to Lith.

She had to stop eating to hug Lith when he explained to her at what cost he had saved the life of his friend.

Kamila still didn’t like the idea that Ryman had endangered Lith’s life so often, but after realizing how deep their bond was, she started to like him simply because of his love for Lith.

"Okay, that’s enough for now." Kamila said after Lith finished to tell her about the fourth year.

"I’ve consumed a lot of tissues for Balkor already. If we get to Nalear, I don’t think I would have the strength to continue our conversation." They had finished eating from a while, switching from beer to red wine.

"I really need to wash my face, but at this point, I might as well take a shower. I’ll slip into something more comfortable while I’m at it. Go easy with the wine. I don’t want to find you asleep when I get back." Kamila said.

As she closed the bathroom door, Lith moved the dirty dishes in the kitchen, dimmed the lights, and shapeshifted the Skinwalker from the uniform into the black suit they often used for their romantic role play.

Then, he took the dessert out of the fridge.

’Gods, I really didn’t miss this part. See you later.’ Solus grumbled while she cut their mind link and hid in a corner of her own mind.

Unfortunately for Lith, Kamila did slip into something more comfortable. A loose shirt and pants she used when she was home alone. Even her hair was fixed in a makeshift bun.

"Pervert! I told you I had a sad story to tell. How could your mind go straight to sex?" She wanted to sound angry but she failed to repress her silvery laughter.

"Shower plus ’something comfortable’ equals sex. Math never failed me before." Lith said without even trying to hide his disappointment and making Kamila laugh harder.

"You’re incorrigible." She sat on his lap, embracing him and giving him a short kiss before going back to her seat.
