Lanci emerged from around the corner at the top of the stairs.
He saw Talia chatting and laughing with a girl with light-colored hair standing in the living room.
They were like fast friends, holding hands and talking.
"So, we have a guest."
Lanci thought to himself with a smile on his face, lifting his hand to greet the girl from the Dimensional Branch,
"Hello, I'm Professor Landry, I was just upstairs communicating and couldn't welcome you in person immediately."
Lanci said cheerfully and generously.
By the living room table, Talia's gaze shifted from the girl in front of her towards the stairs.
"My husband has just come down; he's really quite average, not as impressive as the Empire's Magical Engineering community makes him out to be. I married him quite begrudgingly."
Talia let go of the girl's hands, her words tinged with a hint of boastfulness,
"We'll eat together in a bit."
