His loosely tied hair swayed gently with the magic power radiating from him.

"Lili," Allen promptly stepped in my path, blocking my way.
He offered a warm smile while giving me a brief glance.
"That won't work on me."
"Haha, I never really expected it to work anyway," I replied, taking a step back and scratching my head awkwardly.
‘If I bolt over to Joshua now, Allen would be even more furious... but I can't just stand here either. Josh, if you can hear my thoughts, run away quickly. If you notice how desperately I’m gesturing, run away as fast as you can.’
"...Lili."
However, it seemed my desperate plea didn't reach him.
When Joshua met my gaze, he simply smiled, his eyes crinkling slightly.
