Mary nodded.
"In the world I lived in, I was just an ordinary student. Back then, like Miss Kumiko, I was thinking about what job I should pursue after graduation and what my future self should do. But then I met Mr. Duanmu, and my life changed as a result."
"Speaking of which, how did you meet the teacher, Mary?"
Huang'zen Kumiko became interested upon hearing this and stared at her curiously.
"It's actually quite simple. At that time, my friend Shirley... got caught up in a conspiracy between the Ancient Dominator and the Cult, and fell into a deep sleep. No matter how the doctors diagnosed her, nothing worked. Meanwhile, I became the target of the monsters created by that Cult, and they were fixated on my right eye. Just as I was trying to escape their pursuit, Mr. Duanmu appeared and saved me, then helped solve the trouble my friend was in."
As she spoke, Mary twirled the parasol in her hand.
