"That hourglass-shaped Constellation symbolizes how obtaining knowledge requires paying an equivalent price in time."
"If you want to completely stop the passage of time, the only solution is to lay the hourglass flat. In other words, the ultimate form of slacking off."
"I have to admit, your insight really is remarkable."
Lisa offered her heartfelt praise. She had already developed genuine respect for Mona’s skill in astrology.
They had only just met, yet Mona had seen through her current way of life at a glance.
"All right, that’s enough catching up for now."
Kamisato Satoru spoke up at just the right moment, interrupting their polite exchange.
"Mona will be living in Mondstadt for quite a while, so I specifically brought her here to meet you and exchange some academic insights."
"I’ve always had a strong interest in ancient astrology myself. You’re welcome to visit anytime."
Lisa’s mature, gracious voice carried a lazy cadence that seemed naturally magnetic.
"Absolutely. I’m also looking forward to having some deeper intellectual exchanges with Ms. Lisa."
Although Mona hadn’t managed to properly test her skills against little Klee earlier, getting acquainted with a legendary witch like Lisa was still an unexpectedly valuable gain.
Lisa elegantly inclined her head before turning her gaze back toward Kamisato Satoru.
"Here. This is the blindfold I specially modified and remade for you. Put it on and see how it feels."
As soon as she finished speaking, Lisa reached toward the faintly glowing Vision hanging at her chest and pulled out an exquisitely crafted blindfold, holding it out to him.
Kamisato Satoru accepted it, and his expression immediately became somewhat strange.
He could faintly smell a soft, creamy fragrance lingering on the blindfold, while the fabric beneath his fingertips still carried a trace of warmth.
He couldn’t help wondering to himself whether the storage space inside Lisa’s Vision was somehow directly connected to those two impressive Slimes of hers.
Considering Mona was still present, Kamisato Satoru resisted the urge to bring the blindfold to his nose and take a deep sniff.
He took a breath and instantly switched his body’s state into the "Satoru Gojo" mode of that white-haired powerhouse.
His pitch-black eyes transformed once more into the brilliant azure Six Eyes, dazzling like a galaxy of stars.
In an instant, his field of vision expanded dramatically, almost as though he possessed a three-hundred-and-sixty-degree divine perspective with no blind spots whatsoever.
Every kind of elemental particle floating through the surrounding air, normally invisible to the naked eye, was now laid completely bare before him, dancing merrily within his sight.
The new blindfold looked fairly similar to his old black one, except its surface now bore a faint, mysterious purple magic formation.
At the very center of the intricate six-pointed array was an ancient symbol representing Electro.
The moment he put it on, Kamisato Satoru felt a faint tingling sensation across his scalp, as though tiny electrical currents were passing over it.
Immediately afterward, the torrent of visual information that had previously surged into his brain like a raging tsunami began to weaken dramatically.
The suppression wasn’t enough to block it out completely, but compared with the crude strip of cloth he’d used before, the difference was enormous.
As expected of the woman hailed as a genius witch.
When it came to crafting precise magical equipment like this, Lisa truly knew what she was doing.
"How does it feel?"
Seeing the corners of Kamisato Satoru’s mouth unconsciously curl upward, Lisa already knew he was quite satisfied with her creation.
"It’s excellent. The amount of redundant information reaching my brain has been reduced considerably."
"I’m glad you like it. Your big sister spent quite a lot of time and effort making this little thing for you, you know."
"Surely you’re not planning to leave without giving your big sister something tangible in return?"
Lisa suggestively licked her rosy lips, her alluring eyes overflowing with seductive charm.
Kamisato Satoru chuckled softly and slowly stepped toward her.
The distance between them narrowed until their noses were almost touching.
Their warm breaths brushed against each other’s cheeks, and the atmosphere instantly became thick with ambiguity.
Hey, hey, hey! Are you two pretending I’m invisible?!
At least wait until I’m gone before you start flirting with each other!
Mona awkwardly turned her head aside.
Yet she couldn’t suppress her rampant curiosity. Every so often, she found herself sneaking another glance back at them.
Watching the intimate scene unfold, both her ears had already turned bright red.
In truth, Lisa wasn’t nearly as composed inside as she appeared on the surface.
The distinctly masculine presence of the grown man before her washed over her, leaving her with an almost tipsy sensation.
Despite how Lisa normally spoke like a seasoned master of innuendo, most of it was nothing more than talk.
In reality, she had never even been in a proper romantic relationship before.
