Chapter 2371 Receiving the Goods and Becoming a Hero
Shade stayed at the doctor's office until half past two that afternoon and then left. Considering that Luvia and Father Augustus had both requested long vacations of more than half a month, it was highly likely that they would not be there next week. The doctor sighed:
"It's great that I can take time off whenever I want."
"You can actually take time off at any time, after all, you work for yourself."
"Because I work for myself, I can't relax."
On the way home, of course, Shad did not forget to go to Bettys Cafe and Tea Room in the north of the city to buy the cream scones that Dorothy had asked for.
This dessert was really popular, and Xia De asked for 30 servings right away, but the store didn't have that much in stock. But the coffee shop wouldn't refuse a customer like Xia De, so they asked Xia De to wait for half an hour, or they would send a waiter to deliver it to Xia De's home.
"Wait here, half an hour will pass quickly."
He ordered a cup of coffee and sat down at the table. Soon, the young waitress brought a dessert, saying it was from the owner of the store.
"Meow!"
Mia suddenly woke up from her dream and looked at the delicious food on the table without blinking.
Dorothy kept 30 of the 10 scones that Shad brought back, and asked Shad to take the rest to Moon Bay for Ajelina and the ladies there to taste. Of course, she couldn't finish all the 10 scones, so she invited the maids at home to take a break and have afternoon tea with her.
Neither Miss Leicia nor Miss Karina would do such a thing, but the writer, who came from a commoner family, didn't care about it.
Shad also accompanied Dorothy to have afternoon tea and taste delicious snacks before going to Moon Bay with Mia.
Because of the means of preserving them, the snacks were still hot when Shad brought them to Belindel Manor.
He did not give the snacks to everyone himself, but gave them to Ajelina first, and asked Ajelina to distribute them. As for the girls who had not returned yet, they should save the snacks and eat them when they returned in the evening.
Ajelina happily went to share the snacks, and when she came back to find Shad, Shad was talking about [Ocarina of Time] with Emilia on the second-floor terrace.
This relic was secretly delivered to Yuewan today by a method that Emilia didn't know about. But because the person who delivered the relic didn't know the situation in Yuewan, he couldn't easily bring the item into the city, so Emilia asked Shade if he could go with her outside the city to pick up the goods.
"No problem at all."
Today is Saturday, and it is time for night classes again. But Dorothy also said that if Shad has urgent matters in Moon Bay, he can go back later.
Ajelina pursed her lips, but didn't say that she wanted to go too:
"Shad, the witches said this morning that the church will come to inspect this place tomorrow. Everyone clean up the house today. If you come, feel free to do as you please. You can have dinner here tonight, but don't come here before dinner tomorrow."
"Emilia and Little Lianna are going to Margaret Manor. Ajelina, where are you going? Leicia said that you have to decide what to do in Moon Bay."
Xia De asked her again, and the little princess said:
"I'm going to Margaret Manor with Emilia and the others, too."
"With Ajelina by my side, little Lianna and I are not alone."
The elf girl also smiled and invited the little princess to taste snacks together.
The maids are carrying out the cover-up work of the manor in a tense but orderly manner. Miss Aurora, Megan, Luvia and Miss Elizabeth have gone out of the city to investigate, but the busy Miss Belindel is in the manor.
So for the remaining hour of the afternoon, Shade stayed beside the Countess and talked to her. As for dinner that day, they had it very early, and after dinner everyone left with their luggage and would come back the next night.
Luvia did not go to Margaret Manor, but went to live on the boat at the dock with Megan, Miss Aurora and her niece, Miss Swift, and Tifa.
This was not the small cruise ship that the "Two-Tailed Cat" took Shade on board, but Miss Elither's own "Glorious Messenger". Now the ship was registered under the name of Countess Bella Belindel, and had already entered Yuewan Port at noon today, and stopped next to the Aurora family fleet and Megan's small cruise ship.
Of course, because the ship was too big, Miss Elither made it smaller before entering the harbor. The reason why the little unicorn didn't want to live there was obviously because it was a little afraid of Miss Elither.
However, Shad did not follow the witches to the dock immediately after dinner. Instead, he let Luvia take Mia away first. He saw off the carriage carrying the little unicorn and Ajelina to Margaret, and then set off for the outside of the city with Emilia.
The delivery location was arranged in the mountainous area east of the city. Although Xia De had been active in the northern part of Yuewan, he rarely came here.
Because the location was too far from the city, Shade and Emilia each rode a horse to the agreed-upon banyan tree at the nameless crossroads in the countryside. After confirming that the location was okay, the two tied their horses to the tree and waited while talking.
It was already 7:30 on Saturday night, with three moons hanging high in the sky. No other figures could be seen on the small road outside the city. Under the trees at the open crossroads, the moonlight could slightly illuminate the surroundings, but standing here and looking around, all you could see was the seemingly endless fields stretching to the village with scattered lights in the distance.
“Emilia, are you happy during your time in Moon Bay?
Shade asked worriedly, Emilia originally came to Moon Bay because of the demon matter, but it was his idea to let her stay after the demon was dealt with.
"Very happy."
The girl with pointed ears nodded immediately and shifted her gaze from the moonlit wilderness to Shade's face:
"Shad, you don't have to worry about me. Everyone in the manor takes good care of me, and I have the company of little Lianna and Ajelina. These days are really very, very good. I even don't want this vacation to end. Speaking of which, it's already August, and half of the summer vacation has passed."
His pointed ears drooped a little, and he looked up at the moon again after saying this:
"Although I feel a little sorry that little Liana can't run freely on the grassland and play in the river, but other than that, I really hope that this time can be longer. Speaking of which, little Liana has gained a lot of weight recently. I will let her lose weight when I go back."
As she spoke, she began to laugh, and Shade also smiled:
"I don't think little Lianna's weight gain is due to lack of exercise. I often see her walking around the manor. Maybe she's eating too much. Our 'landlord' obviously doesn't understand the unicorn diet. I saw her preparing baskets of fresh fruits for little Lianna. Even though it's summer now and fruits are easy to buy, she's still a little too exaggerated."
“I know, I know!
Emilia continued with a smile:
"I've read a book at home before, and it says that powerful witches in the past all had unicorn mounts. And little Lianna is really beautiful, and everyone in the academy likes her very much."
She told Shad some interesting stories about the academy and how little Lianna was so timid that she didn't dare to come out from behind the tree when she first saw her.
After saying this, he said to Xia De embarrassedly:
"Is it boring to listen to me all this?"
"Of course it's not boring, the college life at St. Byron's is very interesting. You know I don't know what it feels like if I haven't been to school."
The stranger told a lie. Of course, the lie was only in the latter part of the sentence.
The girl with pointed ears pursed her lips and nodded:
"Yes, life in the academy is very interesting and peaceful. Although I sneaked out to play in the Randall River Valley many times before, it was peaceful after all. This summer in Tobesk and Moon Bay, I saw a lot of things. I realized that the world is like this."
Xia De originally wanted to say, "Only Yuewan is so chaotic right now," but thinking about what would happen in the future, he didn't say it in the end.
"I haven't seen a war, but the newspapers said last weekend that a lot of people had died. Together with you, I have seen the demons that even books dare not describe in detail, and I have learned how terrible that kind of horrible malice is."
She put her hands behind her back:
"Shad, I used to think I was a very strong person."
"You are indeed very strong. Look, you have suddenly experienced so much this summer. Even after encountering the demon, you did not suffer from insomnia and slept soundly the whole time. This is not something that ordinary people can do."
The pointy-eared girl was too embarrassed to say that she was too excited and couldn't fall asleep in the first half of the night and couldn't wake up in the second half, so she asked Xiang Xiade again:
"We saw a statue of an ancient dragon-slaying hero in the ancient elven ruins outside the city. Shade, do you think I can become a hero like that?"
It can be seen that she is a little confused and lonely, and she has not even told Ajelina about this. Although Ajelina is a friend, she only wants to tell Shade about this, especially after Ajelina's teaching last night that "war and love are unreasonable."
"Hero? Not everyone can be a hero, because we don't have that many dragons and demons ready for heroes."
"Shad, I'm not kidding."
The elf girl complained softly, while Shade looked at her seriously:
"I'm not kidding either. It's right to yearn for justice, but sometimes you shouldn't rush out if it's not your turn. I don't like to use the term 'being a hero', but becoming a hero depends not only on personal efforts, but also on luck and the progress of the times."
He looked into those emerald green eyes very seriously:
"Promise me, Emilia, you can be prepared to be a hero, but don't force yourself to be one, okay?"
