"Jalina, please don't say that. Maybe some people do like sickly girls."
Luvia said with a smile, just then the sound of Shad's footsteps came, and soon he returned to the bedroom carrying a mahogany jewelry box:
"Jalina, all the dewdrops you wanted are here. What were you saying about how pretty they were?"
"He didn't say anything."
Galina immediately denied it, then opened the box and glanced inside. Her face was instantly illuminated by the faint starlight within:
"How can there be so much? How much of your blood and how much of that guy's illness will this take up, and in the end, you'll have to come up with a treatment method for him?"
She said with some dissatisfaction, but although she looked down on her frail colleague, she still thanked Xia De and hurriedly left with the dewdrops.
"I'll make the other party pay the bill; you won't lose out."
“This isn’t a loss for me; maintaining the unity of the parliament is also in my interest. Alright, Galina is leaving.”
Shad shook his head, leaving Mia on the carpet, and crawled back into the curtains. Three pairs of arms immediately wrapped around her. Although they had been interrupted by Galina earlier, the girls' enthusiasm remained undiminished:
"Shad, are you interested in a witch who's even prettier than Garina?"
Luvia smiled and asked Shad from behind.
"What kind of question is this? What exactly did you say just now?"
“Luvia, I bet Shad will definitely be interested.”
Whether it was a princess or a writer, her voice was muffled as she spoke from below:
"But tonight, you are not allowed to think about any witches, you are only allowed to think about the three of us."
Shad never quite figured out what they were talking about, but the good news was that on Sunday morning, Galina had Tifa deliver a letter informing Shad that his "Star Drops" had successfully saved the ailing Chaos Witch from her critical condition.
However, Galina had already used up half of the dewdrops she took with her, and Shad found it hard to imagine what kind of illness would require such a large replenishment of life force. Moreover, although those dewdrops were more inclined to restore life, they also possessed the effect of restoring spirit.
Even after replenishing his spirit and life force, he could only barely recover from his serious illness. This was the most troublesome illness that Shad had ever heard of, since in this world, even slightly troublesome matters could quickly lead to death.
However, since Galina didn't ask Shad for help again, Shad, as agreed with everyone, didn't pay too much attention to this witch he wasn't familiar with. He was just thinking that if he didn't have anything else to do recently, he could make more dewdrops for later use, since this peculiar substance didn't have an expiration date.
The Red Butterfly Day, which begins on Saturday, is to last until Sunday afternoon, so Shad continues his dates with the girls on this Sunday.
That evening, after Shad escorted Lacey back to the Yodel Palace and was about to go home, Lacey asked Shad to wait a moment, then handed him a letter:
"Give this letter to Margaret the next time you see her."
Shad raised an eyebrow:
"Is this also one of Luvia's ways in urging me to go find Margaret as soon as possible?"
"Of course not. Didn't you see that I took the letter out directly? That means the letter was prepared a long time ago."
Actually, there was no need for Luvia to urge him; Shad had already planned to visit Margaret in Willendale next week.
However, Shad has not yet found the entrance to the [Space Labyrinth] in that remote southern city, so he will need Sylvia's help to get there.
So when Galina came to stay at their house that night, Shad asked her to pass on a message to Sylvia. The Duchess immediately smiled and got up to deliver the message. Before the lights were turned off and people were about to rest that night, Sylvia responded, asking Shad to meet her at Vistalin the next morning at nine o'clock.
“Sylvia stole Margaret’s opportunity last time, which is why she’s being so proactive this time.”
When Galina handed the reply from the Space Witch to Shad, she smiled, and Shad asked:
"I don't remember revealing the purpose of my meeting with Margaret, so how come you all seem to know perfectly well?"
Then the red-haired witch with her hair down tapped Shad's nose with her finger:
"Because we simply can't imagine what you could possibly do by traveling so far to meet her. Do you just want to discuss literature?"
She laughed and squatted down in front of the sofa where Shad was sitting, letting something tap her nose, and then she leaned in affectionately.
Shad breathed a sigh of relief, but just a few minutes later, the sound of high heels came from downstairs, and soon after, Sylvie, with beautiful long brown wavy hair, came up to the second floor.
Now that she and Shad have established a relationship, the witch, who already possesses the spatial runes, naturally wants to visit this place occasionally. Although the city where the Aurora family lives doesn't have an entrance to the [Spatial Labyrinth], the Radiant Messenger can teleport to any harbor it has ever docked in, so it wouldn't be inconvenient for Sylvie to stay overnight at her home.
Sylvie walked into the living room and immediately saw what Galina was doing, but she wasn't surprised at all:
"Shad, good evening~ Haven't you gone to Willendale to see Margaret yet?"
Why are you all talking about this?
"After all, it is also the responsibility of the Great Witches to care about the younger generation of apprentices in the council."
She took off her black patent leather high heels at the edge of the carpet, then stepped onto the carpet in black stockings and approached the two of them.
Sylvie ignored Galina, who was busy working, and instead bent down and kissed Shad on the forehead as he sat on the sofa. Then she went to Galina's side and kissed her as well.
Galina couldn't speak, but she still glanced at Sylvie with worry. She knew Sylvie wasn't very strong, so it seemed she would have to work a little harder tonight.
Monday was the penultimate day of the Month of the Rising Winds, the 30th. Saturday morning, the seventh day, marked the end of the Battle of Fate, so Shad felt the month had passed very quickly.
Early that morning, a crackling sound came from outside the window. Still half asleep, Xia De broke free from his restraints and waved his hand to make the curtains open automatically, revealing the rainy weather outside.
"The weather is terrible, but luckily I'm not in the city today."
"Meow~"
The cat meant it wasn't mealtime yet and wanted Shad not to disturb its sleep.
Last night, Galina and Sylvie had a great time, so when they ate breakfast prepared by the maids this morning, they jokingly reminded Shad not to forget to bring Margaret a bouquet of flowers.
But even if they didn't remind him, Shad wouldn't forget it.
"Let me see what this week's present is. I'll be so angry if I pull out flowers from the gift box too. Okay, it's not flowers, it's Margaret's picture on page two of this morning's Willendale Sun. She's so pretty!"
Today's occasion was certainly not suitable for bringing Mia along, but fortunately, Mia didn't seem inclined to go out in the rain. When Shad left home, she simply meowed as a farewell.
The weather in Vista Woods was quite nice today. When Shad arrived, Sylvia was watching Ellie standing under the treehouse feeding the chocobos.
He came to Sylvia's side:
“I heard from Emilia that Ellie insists on getting up early, and on days when she doesn’t have early classes, there’s a one-in-three chance she’ll come from the library to feed the chocobos.”
"What about the other two-thirds probability?"
Sylvia smiled and turned to look at him, asking.
"One-third of the time, I wake up the sleeping baby unicorns in the unicorn habitat and give them a morning lesson, which is to say, I read them stories; there's a one-third chance that I'll run to the Ice Castle to find Winnie. If Winnie comes to my place, she'll have breakfast at my house. If Emilia had Ellie's good habit of consistently getting up early, she probably would never have to worry about failing her exams again."
"So, is it our good fortune to meet Ellie here today?"
The black-haired witch kissed Shad, but only briefly:
"Shad, go and say hello to Ellie, then I'll take you to Velendale. Don't forget who the main character is today."
Whether by coincidence or not, it's raining in Willendale today, just like in Tobesko. The temperature at the end of March has risen considerably compared to the beginning of the month, and the official arrival of spring means the city has shed its winter coat.
"Is it just my imagination? Why is Willandall so dark?"
The portal's exit was located in Sylvia's private residence in Willendal. As Shad stepped out of the portal, he looked out the window and found that the rainy city seemed to be still dark.
"Tobesque's air pollution manifests itself in year-round fog, while Willandall's steam industry is equally developed, and its air pollution can reduce visibility to this level on the worst days of the year. It's hard to say which of the two capitals, north and south, has worse air pollution."
Because it was a busy Monday, Margaret couldn't leave Cold Spring Palace immediately to see Shad. Shad knew this beforehand, so he asked Sylvia:
"How about you show me around the city? Last time I came, I only visited your magnificent fabric shop and the royal garden greenhouse. It was nighttime then, so I didn't see any of the city scenery."
Sylvia shook her head:
"I promised Margaret today that I wouldn't always be by your side. Part of what happened last time was my fault, so this time I must keep my promise, even if I am the Great Witch and she is just an apprentice, I cannot break my word."
"so?"
"So, you can wander around the city by yourself. Margaret should come looking for you around noon, just remember to come back then. I've put the map of Willendale on that table over there; you can explore the city on your own."
Of course, if you don't want to go out on a rainy day, you can stay in my house and read. I really enjoy reading while listening to the rain. The house of the neighbor on the left is empty, and the neighbor on the right moved to the Randall Valley two years ago and is rarely home, so you don't have to worry about being disturbed.
