“Well… maybe you think Sister Mei is not interested? Later, that consciousness praised me, saying I have some peculiar skills and quite the ambition.” I recalled the scene back then and spoke.
“If Xiao Han encounters something like this next time, remember to tell me, I’m still quite… quite interested.” Mei Linde wiped nonexistent sweat from her forehead and said to me.
“Okay then~”
“Since that’s the case, let’s leave it at that. If we keep talking, Xiao Han, I suppose you won’t be too sure about it either? I’m about this level of understanding too, so let’s get back to the main topic. Don’t you have something to discuss with me?”
“True.” I nodded, not wanting to waste more words on this topic.
I picked up the cup of black tea the academy head made for me, cleared my throat, and continued, “Actually, I came here mainly to bring up the trial contract we signed before with Sister Mei.”
“That contract…” Once back on topic, Mei Linde let out a sigh of relief and continued, “Xiao Han wants to avoid fulfilling those two primordial spell sequences, right?”
“Oh no no no!” I quickly waved my hands to indicate that’s not what I meant, “The primordial spell sequences, still both of them, I will definitely fulfill the contract! I just hope it doesn’t use the Primordial Dream Transformation Spell and Primordial Dream Summoning Spell as bargaining chips, okay? Just give me some time, and I’m willing to repay with an entirely new race’s primordial spell sequence!”
“…”
Upon hearing my words, Mei Linde fell silent for a moment, and after quite a while, she spoke, “Xiao Han, be honest with me, is this how you see me as your principal? Clearly, you still call me Sister Mei, and saying this really hurts me…”
“Eh? No, no! That’s not what I meant!”
“What do you mean by that? You specifically came to ask me about such a small matter; isn’t it because you don’t want to use dreams as bargaining chips? I have no problem withdrawing this condition.”
“Huh? But… but we signed a Witch Contract, didn’t we?” I was left speechless for a moment.
“The Witch Contract…” Mei Linde slapped her forehead, “Does the contract state that what I want is the primordial spell of Fool Dream? No! We signed a witness contract!”
