Just after Risa conceded defeat, Lis's system panel emitted the crisp notification sound of task completion.
Without hurrying to check the status of the completed task, Lis smiled and said to Risa:
"I got a bit serious just now, you okay, Risa?"
Risa quickly shook her head and replied:
"I'm fine, young master, it's just that I was a bit too forceful, and the courtyard..."
Lis looked around at the surrounding courtyard. The huge ice cone Risa released was still embedded in the ground, and the garden and lawn that the gardener had meticulously cared for were covered with the scorch marks left by spells, with a lot of the dark soil even turned over.
Lis didn't mind these things; instead, he winked at Risa and said:
"No worries, it was all my doing, got it?"
"Oh."
Risa seemed to understand Lis's intent, quietly replying, and feeling a lot more at ease.
"However, Risa, don't you fight very often? You seemed a bit nervous just now."
