The misty water vapor is evaporating in the bathroom, making the huge bathtub hazy. Occasionally, you glance sideways at one or two exquisite mermaid statues, which inexplicably adds a bit of mysterious beauty.

On weekdays, when Sandrina takes a bath, she usually just washes herself off in a hurry and then ends it. To enjoy an entire large bath alone like tonight is undoubtedly a luxurious act for her.

"call"

Sandrina scooped up a pot of water and poured it down from her neck. The feeling of the flowing warmth gently sliding over her skin made her narrow her eyes slightly.

After sighing faintly, she pursed her lips, lightly flipped her moist hair and thought to herself:

"Is it really because I'm too sleepy? Why did Mr. MacLean just say it casually and I subconsciously followed it?"

While thinking so randomly, Sandrina watched water droplets dripping on her fingertips. The warmth that seemed to melt people made her eyelids heavier, as if she would fall asleep at any time.

Sandrina patted her red cheeks and told herself that she couldn't fall asleep here.

Perhaps after all, she was still not used to enjoying the leisurely bathing like this. Even though it was indeed very comfortable, Sandrina quickly left the bath, wrapped herself in a bath towel and walked towards the door.

However, just as she passed by the mirror on the side of the bathroom... there seemed to be something in the mirror amid the mist, which suddenly attracted her attention.

"Well?"

Sandrina stopped for a moment and looked at the mirror a few more times with some doubts. However, the white steam covered her eyes, making her unable to see clearly.

Because her feet were bare and the wet stone floor was a bit slippery, Sandrina walked cautiously toward the mirror to prevent her from slipping.

As I get closer and closer to the mirror, my reflection in the mirror becomes clearer and clearer.

There was nothing unusual except for Sandrina herself who was wrapped in a bath towel and her long wet hair was entangled around her shoulders and hanging down around her waist. There was only the white mist. Everything seemed normal.

She subconsciously raised her hand to smooth her chestnut hair, her expression seemed a little hesitant. When she subconsciously glanced at the mirror just now, she felt that she might have seen something a bit inconsistent.

, but now it seems that it was probably just a mistake due to sleepiness.

After hesitating for a moment, Sandrina turned around and continued walking towards the door.

However, the moment she turned around, she suddenly saw from the corner of her eye that she hadn't moved in the mirror, still maintaining the posture of looking forward with her hair lifted.

This time, Sandrina was finally frightened, and hurriedly took a step back in the opposite direction of the mirror. But that step caused her foot to slip, and she fell heavily to the ground with a "bang"

On the ground.

Since she only had a thin bath towel on her body, to be honest, Sandrina's fall was really heavy. She lay on the bathroom floor and groaned for a while, then struggled with the pain and sat up.

.

And during this whole process, "Sandrina" in the mirror never moved. "She" just looked at "me" outside the mirror silently with a cold look, until the other person slowly got up.

Then, it faded away quietly.

Sandrina's knees and elbows were broken, and her ankle seemed to be slightly sprained, but no matter how much pain she felt, it couldn't compare to the shock in her heart.

She is a squib and has had no connection with magic since she was a child. She cannot see all kinds of magical animals, nor can she see most interesting or strange and mysterious magical phenomena, such as what happened when she accidentally saw it in the mirror.

The strange scene was something unbelievable to her.

But...if I had to say it, in fact, apart from the initial fright, what she felt at the moment was more of a complex emotion mixed with surprise and surprise.

"Could it be that"

Sandrina stretched out her hand and waved it in front of the mirror. Although the figure in the mirror had returned to normal, the expectations in her heart had become stronger. As for the sleepiness just now, it had long since disappeared with this series of accidents.

Went to the sky beyond the sky.

Unfortunately, she waited for a long time after that, but she never saw any strange changes in herself in the mirror.

Until...the moment when she tentatively touched the mirror with her palm.

"ah!"

Suddenly, the "Sandrina" in the mirror suddenly stretched out her hand and grabbed her slender wrist. "She" looked at the real Sandrina outside the mirror with extremely cold eyes, a kind of terrifying feeling.

The breath wafted out from the mirror.

But soon, just as Sandrina felt in horror that a huge force suddenly came from that hand, everything suddenly disappeared.

The figure in the mirror returned to normal, and the palm protruding out of the mirror turned into nothingness. Sandrina, who thought she was going to be dragged into the mirror, just hit the mirror hard with a "thud".

"Wow"

The mirror was smashed into pieces.

…

"Um?"

At the same time that Sandrina encountered an unexpected situation, in the room on the top floor of the tower, Maka was staring at the Devouring Mirror with some confusion.

Because he wanted to study Haierbo's Horcrux in depth, he had just removed the "arrogance" rune on the mirror. In order to prevent Blois Castle from being affected, he also deliberately followed the seal he had previously placed on the mirror.

Several strict isolation protections have been set up in this room.

At the moment when the seal was released, Maka thought that he would have to withstand the same strong suction force as before. But who knew that when he stabilized his soul, he planned to resist the power of the Devouring Mirror to study it carefully.

When I checked, I found that the expected suction force did not appear.

This was obviously an anomaly that Maka had not expected.

"this……"

Maka frowned and hesitated for a moment. After thinking about it, she decided to immediately stop this research plan and use the soul rule runes to seal the Devouring Mirror again.

When the seal was completed, he scratched his scalp and fell into deep thought as before. It wasn't until the next morning, after another "wasted" night, that Maka put away the Devouring Mirror again, untied the protection in the room and walked out.

room.

And when Maka was the first to go to the restaurant, ready to eat some breakfast to fill his stomach, he discovered that the maid who usually helped him read the newspaper in the morning had suddenly changed.

"Excuse me...where is Sandrina? Does she have a day off today?" Maka asked casually.
