Chapter 44: Get Backfired! - 1

Double entendre.

Jasmine, on one hand, is subtly showing off her relationship with Link while also demonstrating that her actions are unconstrained.

She sarcastically implies that Lanny Taylor, after the cross-district match, is completely bound by Wizard Palo's betting games.

Such deliberate actions are excessive and counterproductive.

Lanny, feeling attacked, has bloodshot eyes.

She takes a deep breath, suppressing the turmoil within her, and says the real reason she's been waiting here tonight: "Witch Ayla asked me to tell you that she won't be handling the 'New Blood Mutual Aid Association'. So, don't worry about her. Do whatever you want."

Her tone shifts expressing somberly: "Why does everyone cater to your wishes, why does everyone considerate towards you?"

With the last word, Lanny heads upstairs.

It's as if her last words were merely a sigh of something.

She doesn't expect an answer from Jasmine.
