Hearing her voice, Dairya just now noticed that besides herself and "Mr. Pillay," there was another person here. She hopped over to the old woman and looked at her with curious eyes: "Granny, have you been living here all along?"
The old woman's smile became warm as she listened to the innocent question. She chuckled and said, "I've lived here for a long time, indeed for a long time."
"How long?"
"As long as it takes for you to grow up."
"That's a long time..." Dairya seemed to be pondering the time it takes to grow from a child to an adult. However, she wasn't entirely sure and asked again, "Can you do magic?"
"Of course."
