"Very good, isn't it?"
Their noses lightly touched, and the golden-haired witch pursed her lips and asked softly. Shad took a deep breath and nodded.
"You've always been the one to lend me a helping hand, while I haven't been able to do much for you. But I don't want that. I want to do something for you, even if it's just a small thing. What can I do for you?"
She didn't say "I don't need it," which would only have kept the thriving relationship in its current state. This feeling stemmed from something neither of them could quite articulate, and Shad clearly didn't want to just take; he also wanted to demonstrate through his actions that he wasn't satisfied with the status quo.
The witch understood his feelings at that moment, and she smiled gently:
"Then, could you please stop calling me 'Miss Feliananna' from now on? At least, I don't want to hear that address when it's just the two of us."
"Mana?"
He called out the name, then said softly:
"I'm waiting for you on the other side of time."
This time, she took the initiative to kiss him, and they only slowly separated after a knock on the door. Britney pushed the door open, saw the two of them, and coughed softly.
Britney's hair was wet and hanging down her back. She looked at her teacher with a hint of reproach, but didn't dare to complain directly, after all, she had already gained a lot of advantage this time.
The witch in the purple dress simply smiled and wiped Shad's lips with her hand.
Britney said:
“Teacher, Shad, the halfling girl who came back with you is currently in a somewhat unstable mental state. I suggest that she stay and receive treatment for a period of time.”
As she spoke, she sat down on the other side of Xia De. The study door was not closed, and someone was clearly "eavesdropping" outside. Although Xia De could not see the head sticking out, he could see three dragon horns.
"No problem, but don't worry about the child's condition. She needs time to forget the things she shouldn't know."
Miss Feliciano then spoke to the doorway:
"Come in too. Shad is leaving. Don't you want to say goodbye?"
Fiona, Gina, and Elfina then shoved each other as they entered. Although Miss Bradvi's condition wasn't particularly good, Gina seemed to have fully recovered, even wearing the same dragon maid outfit as Fiona and Elfina. This outfit required provisions for the tail and wings, and because dragon girls have horns, their headdresses were different from those of normal maids.
Seeing that Shad was looking at her attire, the pink dragon girl's tail swayed slightly, and Fiona, standing beside her, understood that it meant she was both shy and happy.
Time was indeed running out. After returning to the normal world of the Fifth Age, Shad and Brienne spent most of their time expressing their longing for each other. Now, Miss Feliana had told Shad something important and reaffirmed their relationship with that kiss. He had only two minutes left to leave.
Shad stood up from the sofa, while Miss Feliana and Britney remained seated, watching him walk toward the three dragon maids.
"Honestly, we just got back together and now we have to part again."
Fiona gave Shad a graceful hug, though she was somewhat displeased, she accepted reality.
"If you ever need my help in your time, remember to ask me! I'm a very powerful dragon witch."
She kissed Shad hard on the cheek, then pushed him toward his companions.
"Are Emilia and Iluna alright? Did Emilia successfully become the Elf Queen?"
After making eye contact with Xia De, the Green Dragon Girl blushed instantly. As if struck by a thought, she gripped her right arm with her left hand and turned her face slightly to the side to avoid Xia De's gaze. But before Xia De could answer, she turned her face back.
"Really, you have to protect them. I'd like to visit where you live sometime. Remember to tell Emilia that you've started calling me by my name!"
She also kissed Shad, then pushed him towards Gina. The pink dragon girl, following the example of her predecessors, first gently kissed Shad, then clenched her fist and made a spirited promise:
"If there are any dragon eggs that really need my care, please remember to send them over! I'm a professional baby dragon maid! I can take good care of any kind of baby dragon!"
"Okay, take care of yourselves. I don't know when we'll meet again, but I promise it won't be too long."
The cat had already been tucked into the inside pocket of Shad's coat, and the little doll was still perched on his shoulder. Shad made his promise to the dragon girls. When he turned back to look at the sofa, the demigod witches had also stood up.
All the witches saw white mist rise from the void and entangle Shad's body. Miss Feliana and Britney didn't say goodbye; they only gave him these words of advice:
"Remember to take breaks. Even the busiest witch can always find time for afternoon tea."
"Be careful. Although you have things to do, don't forget that there are people thinking of you. Shade, may the moon accompany you."
Xia De took a deep breath. Although he was about to face another parting, this time he felt no sadness. He knew very well that their next reunion wouldn't be far off.
"You too, the academy is still in its early stages and there's a lot to do, but you should also look up at the moon from time to time."
He opened his arms and embraced both demigods at the same time, then disappeared from the study as if he had never existed in this time and space.
The dragon girls lowered their hands as they waved goodbye, and their tails drooped to the floor.
Britney sighed, and Miss Felicity glanced at her:
"What, is there anything else you're not satisfied with?"
"Teacher, you wouldn't understand now. But thank you for giving me most of your time."
The violet-beautiful witch shook her head:
"After all, I need time to deal with that doll. We'll definitely have a chance to meet again in the future."
She looked in the direction where Shad had disappeared, then spoke to the doorway:
"Come in, he's already gone."
The "black dragon" girl, who had been hiding her true form, finally entered. Although she possessed dragon-like features, her tail was not prominent, and her wings were not pure black. Their color resembled a deep, starlit night sky, captivating and mysterious.
"Principal Felian Anna."
The violet-beautiful witch nodded, without saying anything more to her:
"In the name of Principal Mana Ferrianana, the St. Byrons Witch Academy's Fall 3030 school-wide practical activities will officially begin next week."
So what is the theme this time?
Fiona asked.
"Searching for the [Leather Goods Museum]."
(Xia Mia is running)
"Meow~"
The cat's meow remained exceptionally clear amidst the thick white fog. It wasn't Xiaomia expressing her delight at finally being able to return to the Sixth Era, but rather, after being lifted onto Shad's left shoulder, it was threatening the puppet on Shad's right shoulder.
The doll seemed to have become an empty shell, unable to move or speak. Shad thought the attempt had failed, but when he touched the doll, he clearly felt that the spirit and power that Miss Felianana had given it had not disappeared.
A semi-transparent, towering tree, seemingly connecting heaven and earth, appeared before Xia De, its canopy rustling in the windless space.
Her voice was very gentle:
[A warning from the "Father of the Infinite Tree": Violation is permitted only once. Upon returning to the Sixth Era, the puppet will only be able to function normally for half an hour. Casting spells on the puppet will shorten this active time.]
"That's fine too."
Shad wasn't surprised by the outcome; in fact, he had been astonished that half an hour had passed. Although this wasn't a true witch returning to the Sixth Age with the Fifth Age, he knew it was still a move that skirted the edge of transgression.
"Thank you, Tree Father. I won't try that again."
Miss Doll was clearly not allowed to move around in the [Time Corridor], a significant difference between her and Xiaomia. But before Shad could even ponder why the cat was allowed to wander around here, two leaves drifted down from the swaying canopy.
Shad quickly raised both hands high, letting the two leaves overlap and fall into his palms.
A single leaf contains a wondrous spell called "Veil of Night," and a divine contract within it. Shad had initially expected the latter to appear as tree bark, but it turned out to be the [Leaf of Immortality].
He actually wanted to investigate what the so-called "Divine Magic Contract - Dragon Maid Contract" was, but Shad remembered what he was doing before he entered the past:
"Brainy's lingering words in the [Furry Guild] say that their power is still needed to completely destroy the guild. So, Miss Feliana and Brainy, did they foresee that this experiment would succeed?"
Xia De turned his head slightly to look at the doll lady on his shoulder. After investigating the [Leather Goods Hall] and confirming that the relic did not have the power of the [House of Pseudo-Humans], the relic was no longer a particularly big obstacle in his eyes.
Previously, we could only be certain that we could expel them this time; whether we could completely contain or destroy them was still uncertain. But now, with Miss Feliananna's help, the fate of the [Furry Guild] is sealed.
"However, there are other forces operating within the Guild. If the Guild's affairs can be resolved quickly, it would be possible to have Miss Feliananna discuss the Moon Egg with Danist. Although I cannot persuade her, perhaps Miss Feliananna can."
Shad carefully put the two leaves away, then looked up at the towering tree. After putting away Mia, who was not suitable to appear in the [Leather Goods Guild], he turned and walked into the depths of the thick fog.
[Outsider, you have returned to the present.]
[A message from the ancient god "Father of the Infinite Tree":]
May time protect you.
