It might be able to say that if it was one of the Eight Divine Brilliance, it wouldn't be surprising that he could do that much, but there was no way an ordinary old man could do it.
Mina may have expected his answer, and that's where the thought call breaks off.
He continued to work for a while and then took a break, and then Toy returns.
He still looked huffy and didn't apologize to Val, but he resumed his work.
(Did he resume work when his head was cold? Isn't he a good boy?)
He thinks.
Around Meena, he would say that he's too lenient, but Val can't be strict in these areas.
(Meena would say it's not a good idea to coddle him just because he's dealing with a child.)
He chuckles inwardly, anticipating the beautiful elf's bitterness.
'What?'
As if misunderstanding his condition, Toy stops his hand and glares at him.
'No, I admire you for coming back properly. I'm honestly not sure I would have been able to do the same thing.
Val says calmly, and the boy snorts with a huff.
'Isn't that why the old man is smoldering at a good age?
The sarcasm flew in, but the old man, a mere old man, had heard it all before.
'Warning, it's going to hurt.
When I replied, Toy moved the muscles of his face as if he was annoyed.
You can't see the boy's expression from the direction where Val is, but when it comes to Akira Yagami, it's only natural to know that much even if you can't see his face.
(Apparently, he's not a good match for this boy.)
He decided that if his words and actions were only going to irritate the boy, he might as well be considerate.
'It's a little early, but I'm going to have to pull up.
When Val calls out to him, Toy stops his hand and looks at him suspiciously.
'Are you sure? If you stop now, you'll lose a few coppers.
'I'm fine with that, because I'll get a bill for it somewhere else. I know a lot of people myself.
When the boy asks if it's not a matter of life and death, he gives what he thinks is his unclely answer.
'I thought you were just getting old for nothing.
The boy's face, who was sarcastic again, said, "I've lost my mind by worrying about you.
(He's not such a bad boy after all.)
Val thought and went to report to the receptionist.
