Chapter 60

“Please don’t say that ever again. I hate people who are swayed by rumors.”

I emphasized my reasoning as I explained.

“If I believed in rumors, I wouldn’t even consider meeting with magicians. Remember this: don’t believe rumors you haven’t confirmed yourself.”

“…That’s true,” Ethan agreed, and a silence settled between us.

He didn’t meet my eyes, but I could tell that something in his demeanor had shifted. Perhaps by sharing my story, I had managed to unlock a door in his heart.

‘It’s been so long since I felt like my sincerity was getting through to someone.’

It was a new experience for me as well, especially after spending so much time with people who wouldn’t even listen to what I had to say.@@novelbin@@

It reminded me how important it is not to be swayed by prejudices or rumors, and to see the person in front of you for who they really are.

‘I think we’re going to get along better than I expected.’

With that pleasant thought, I made him an offer.

“Would you like to watch another play?”

Ethan nodded, and the lights dimmed as another play began to show on the screen.
