Yawn~
Kiernan let out a short yawn and checked the time on his phone and saw that it had been two hours since he told Old King that he would get the journal for him.
Luckily, he hadn't asked for it again, but he must be wondering what was taking so long.
'She sure is taking her sweet time.'
Kiernan thought as he looked at Aoi, who was not hurrying one bit and taking her sweet time to engrave every word into her mind.
Bam~
At that moment, Aoi closed the book, caressed its old hardcover, and then looked up with a satisfied smile on her face.
She then turned her gaze over to Kiernan and offered the book with her arms extended, as if presenting him with a precious gift.
"Thanks…"
Kiernan accepted the book with a sigh of relief and headed to the door, but the black-haired young woman followed closely after him like a puppy.
'It looks like she isn't going to leave me alone until she gets what she wants.'
