Tale 15
They’re Dead
It was a peaceful morning.
Titus watched from his window as the twins went to school as usual.
The bakery opened for business as usual.
The customers come and go as usual.
So what is this situation?
Titus is confused.
He is being pinned against the wall by Primrose Grace.
“Did I do something wrong, Miss Primrose?” Titus asked nervously
“I won’t beat around the bush Mister Titus.”
“J-just call me Titus, Miss Primrose.” Titus
“Then you may also drop the Miss and just call me Primrose.”
“A-alright.” Titus
“Good, now about what I came here for. Let’s make a deal.” Primrose
“A deal?” Titus
“Yes. I don’t want you to make the twins worry by falling sick. So let’s do a Mana Exchange once in a while to regulate both our temperatures.” Primrose
“A Mana Exchange?!” Titus asked in surprise. This reminds him of that night five years ago. He can still remember how Primrose Grace clumsily kissed him and boldly said that it was an act of Mana Exchange.
“Don’t make me repeat what I already said. Just agree to it.” Primrose
Titus knew how lazy she is so he’s not surprised that she doesn’t want to expend too much energy to convince him. She just want him to agree immediately.
“But Mana Exchange is only done between lovers and close kin.” Titus
Mana Exchange requires physical contact, the more intimate it is, the more stable the mana connection will become.
“There are many ways to do Mana Exchange. For example, by holding hands. We don’t need to be lovers to do that.” Primrose
“Y-you have a good point.” Titus
“So are you agreeing or not?” Primrose
“Can I make a few changes to this agreement?”
“What changes?” Primrose
“Instead of once in a while, how about once a day?” Titus
“No, we might end up developing some sort of reliance to each other’s mana if we do it everyday.” Primrose
Then that would be perfect! Is Titus’ inner thoughts. But he won’t dare say that out loud.
“Since we’re doing Mana Exchange anyway, why should we hold back? Even if we develop some reliance, we will always be seeing each other so it won’t be a problem.” Titus insisted
