Jasper agreed to meet Wayne in the Imperial Kitchen.

The three were now much closer than when they had met for the first time, but there was still an invisible barrier between Jasper and the other two.

Jasper still had a smile on his face when he shook Wayne’s hand. Then, he pulled out a complete set of Grimms’ Fairy Tales.

Wayne was surprised to receive such a gift.

“Thank you, Mr. Laine. I’ll treasure this gift,” Wayne put away the books happily.

The three then slipped into their seats.
