I Refused To Be Reincarnated

Chapter 405 Anya's Shadow

Back in his room, he

Since he had to be noble to enrol, the student card would have the same effect.

After a few questions, the mage nodded and let him leave.

Like a gale, his frame cleaved through the air. The wind whipped his clothes in a cacophony of howls and fabric as he used Anya's instruction to charge to their destination.

The soft morning sun's rays gave way to its brighter version. Yet, the village's burly miners wore thick coats, attempting to resist November's chilly wind.

Focused on his goal, he ignored the scenery and inhabitants in his relentless charge until he reached the mine's mouth.

Ironically, he passed by the supervisors like a ghost, followed by a cloud of dust, and engulfed himself in the tunnel.

After a few hundred meters away from the bright torches illuminating the restricted mining area, he gazed at his shadow.

"You can get out now."

Snuggled in his shadow, Anya's voice echoed with reluctance.

"I don't want to. Your shadow is comfortable. I don't think I'll find another one as warm, powerful, and... hard."

His eyes enlarged, a flicker of doubt flashing, soon replaced by dread, then anger.

"The heck you are doing inside? Get out!"

"Ah!"

He yelped this time, icy fingers caressing his back as his heart shook because... she was naked, and he grabbed her by the waist!

Before he could recover from his blunder, Anya's playful voice, tinged with a touch of allure, filled his ears.

"Oof. You must take responsibility after touching a lady."

Removing his hand as if he had touched blazing embers, he turned instantly and grumbled.

"Wear something, demoness!"

"Hahaha. Who would have thought you were shy? I don't dislike it, though."

Her laughter reverberated, a grating noise making him tremble in anger at her shameless behavior.

"Do I need to take responsibility after your mysterious disappearance?"

His words, as cold as ice, cut through her laughter, freezing the amused expression on her face.

A tense silence lingered for a second.

Then, he continued.

"I don't care how old you were on Earth. But you are thirteen here. Have some self-respect, and wear your damn clothes!"

"S-Sure. It was just a poor joke. I won't do it again."

She stuttered, controlling her shadow to wrap around her body in a tight suit.
