(MC POV)
It was close to dinner time before I returned to my courtyard with two very satisfied foxes clinging on my shoulders.
Sophia was there to greet me at the entrance, as though she knew I would be there.
"Welcome back, Master Lin. Do you require dinner, a bath? Or perhaps… I should get one of your disciples here to receive Master?"
"I don't even want to ask what the last option meant," I sighed.
She blinked, "I thought Master Lin might want to meet with any of your disciples first?"
"No, I'm good. I'll go see how my disciples are doing on my own."
She bowed her head, "Understood. I shall make preparations for dinner. With the exception of Master Brendan, all of your disciples are in the courtyard."
With those words she left for the kitchen and left me to my own devices.
"The Demon Lord sure is interesting," Akari remarked, her tongue darting out to lick my cheek.
