The misty water vapor steaming in the bathroom makes the huge bath hazy, and the occasional glance at one or two delicate mermaid statues adds a little mysterious beauty.

On weekdays, when Sandrina takes a bath, she usually just washes off her body in a hurry, and it is undoubtedly a luxury for her to enjoy the whole large bath alone like tonight.

"Whew-"

Sandrina scooped up a jug of water and poured it down her neck, her eyes narrowing slightly as the warmth of the flow gently slid over her skin.

After a faint sigh, she pursed her lips and stroked her wet hair and thought to herself:

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

Thinking so wildly, Sandrina watched as water dripped from her fingertips. The warmth that seemed to melt people made her eyelids heavier, as if she would fall asleep at any moment.

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

After all, Xing was still not used to enjoying the leisure of bathing in such a comfortable place, and even though it was indeed very comfortable, Sandrina quickly left the bath, wrapped herself in a bath towel, and walked to the door.

But as she passed the mirror on the side of the bathroom...... In the midst of the vapor, there seemed to be something in the mirror, which suddenly attracted her attention.

"Huh?"

Sandrina paused slightly, and looked a few more times in the mirror, somewhat confused. It's just that the water vapor of the white flowers is covering her eyes, which makes her a little unreal.

Being barefoot, a little slippery on the damp stone floor, Sandrina cautiously walked towards the mirror to prevent her from slipping.

As I got closer to the mirror, I became clearer and clearer about myself in the mirror.

There was nothing out of the ordinary—except for Sandrina, who was wrapped in a bath towel and her long wet hair wrapped around her shoulders and drooping around her waist, except for the white vapour, and everything seemed normal.

She subconsciously raised her hand and stroked her chestnut hair, her expression looked a little hesitant - when she glanced at the mirror subconsciously just now, she felt that she should have seen something that was a little out of place, but now it seems that it was just a mistake due to sleepiness.

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

However, the moment she turned around, the corner of her eye suddenly saw that she in the mirror did not move, still maintaining the posture of moving the ends of her hair to look forward.

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

Since she only had a thin bath towel on her body, to be honest, Sandrina's fall was really not light. I saw her fall on the bathroom floor and hum for a long time, and then she struggled to sit up.

And in this whole process, the "Sandrina" in the mirror never moved - "she" just looked at the "me" outside the mirror silently with a cold look, until the other party slowly got up, and then quietly faded away.

Sandrina's knees and elbows were broken, and her ankles seemed to be a little sprained, but no matter how painful her body was, it couldn't match the shock in her heart.

She's a Squib who has been out of magic since she was a child. She couldn't see all kinds of magical beasts, nor could she see most of the magical phenomena that were either interesting or strange or mysterious, and it was an incredible thing for her to accidentally see a strange scene in the mirror.

But...... If I have to say, in fact, in addition to the fright at the beginning, at this moment, there is more of a complex emotion mixed with surprise and surprise in her heart.

"Could it be—"

Sandrina reached out and shook it in front of the mirror—although the figure in the mirror had returned to normal, her inner anticipation had become stronger. As for the sleepiness just now, it has already flown out of the clouds with this series of accidents.

Unfortunately, she waited a little more after that, but she didn't wait for any unusual changes in herself in the mirror.

All the way up to ...... The moment she tentatively touched the mirror with her palm.

"Ahh

Coldly, 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 a cold look, and a terrifying aura wafted out of the mirror.

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

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

"Whoa—"

The mirror was smashed into pieces.

……

"Huh?"

At the same time that Sandrina's accident befell her, in the room on the top floor of the tower, Maca was staring at the Devouring Mirror with a slight suspicion.

Because he wanted to delve deeper into Helbo's Horcrux, he had just removed the "arrogant" rune from the mirror. In order not to let Blois Castle be affected, he also deliberately set up several strict isolation guards in this room according to his previous seal for the mirror.

The moment the seal was lifted, Maca thought that she would be subjected to the same powerful suction force as she had at the beginning. But who knows, when he stabilized his soul and planned to resist the power of the Devouring Mirror to study it carefully, he found that the expected suction did not appear.

This was obviously an anomaly that Maca hadn't expected.

"This ......"

Maca frowned and hesitated for a moment, and after thinking about it left and right, she decided to immediately abolish the research project and re-seal the Devouring Mirror with the Soul Rule Rune.

When the seal was complete, he scratched his scalp and fell into deep thought. It wasn't until the next morning that Maca, who had "wasted" another night, put away the Devouring Mirror again, unprotected the room and walked out of the room.

And when Maca was the first to go to the dining room and was about to have some breakfast to fill his stomach, he noticed that the maid who usually helped him read the newspaper in the morning had suddenly changed.

"May I ask that...... What about Sandrina? Is she off today? Maca asked casually.
