Chapter 2519: The Day of Departure and the People Returning Home

Xia De raised his head suddenly:

"Leaving on Wednesday, but isn't that the day after tomorrow?"

"I know you'd like us to stay a little longer."

The blonde witch in the purple dress put down the bread with strawberry jam in her hand:

"But Fiona and I are not from this era after all, Shad. We can't stay here for too long. It will be exactly ten days by Wednesday, and that's the limit. Contact that Danister. Fiona and I will go to St. Byrons tomorrow. I'd still feel uneasy if I don't take a look."

Fiona, who had been worried about being blamed, looked depressed. She didn't know when Miss Felena was going to leave. Although she had said it would be about a week, she actually expected to stay longer.

"If that's the case, I understand."

Xia De adjusted his mood and nodded:

"Every separation is for the next meeting. Your departure this time means that my 'countdown to meeting again' can start again."

Mana Filianna pursed her lips slightly. She certainly knew what Shade was thinking:

"This morning we are still in the study to organize your own system for you, and then I will tell you about the witch's secret technique [Arrow of the Night].

After lunch, you can plan the rest of your day."

"Luvia and the others' train will probably arrive at Tobysk Railway Station tonight. How about we go to pick up the train together in the evening? The train stations of this era are also very interesting."

Shade suggested:

"As for the afternoon, let's go to the eastern part of the city. The eastern part of Tobesk is a wealthy area, and the Natural Church and the famous Regent Park are there. Or, how about going to the university area? We can sneak into the school and listen to the reports of scholars of this era."

So this Monday, Shade spent it with the two witches. He cherished the time he spent with Miss Feliana and Fiona, but time would not really slow down because of his personal wishes.

It seemed like just a blink of an eye, the sun rose from the east and set in the west, and Xia De and the two ladies welcomed the group of people who had returned from Yuewan at the train station.

It seemed like just a blink of an eye, and the people who returned home returned to their own homes. After sending Ajelina back to Yodel Palace and saying goodbye to Luvia, Carina and Tifa in St. Teresa's Square, Shad returned home again with Miss Feliana and Fiona.

The night was still long, so they drank tea in the living room and talked about the adventures of Miss Felina and Fiona. These were stories that had not become legends in their long lives, but they were still very interesting.

And when the lights were finally turned off at 6 St. Teresa's Square on Monday night, Fiona walked barefoot and carefully into Shad's room, holding a pillow, just like she did last night.

"Meow~"

The cat curled up its body, it really liked Fiona, because only when Fiona stayed overnight would Shade not put her in the closet.

The next day was Tuesday. It was drizzling in the city early in the morning, but Miss Danister still knocked on the door of number six St. Teresa's Square at eight o'clock in the morning with an umbrella, and went to St. Byron's with the two principals of the Fifth Age.

As for Luvia and Iluna, they showed up at home at nine o'clock in the morning.

When they put their umbrellas in the umbrella tube downstairs and went up to the second floor together, Xia De reached into the [God's Gift Box] to take this week's gift. But obviously this week's luck was not very good, and in the end, he took out only a very ordinary purple headband.

Seeing that neither Iluna nor Luvia were interested in taking it, Shade simply placed it on the coffee table.

"When will Miss Felianna and Miss Drago return?"

Iluna asked curiously, sitting down on the couch with Luvia.

"They said they would be back before dinner. They had no plans to have dinner at the academy."

Xia De yawned, and Luvia looked at him suspiciously:

"Then let's get down to business. The big event of the Seventh Chosen One and Moon Bay is officially over. Shade, Iluna, you two did a great job this time."

After saying this, Iluna and Shade seemed to be relieved, and the 18-year-old girl smiled embarrassedly:

"In fact, most of the things were done by Xia De. I only made a very small contribution. Oh, I was about to be promoted to the ninth ring. At the end of the Moon Bay Battle, I obtained the last spiritual rune after I cut off the God's Descent Ceremony with the huge moonlight sword that Xia De transformed into."

As she spoke, she summoned her life ring. Iluna's life ring was still eight rings, and compared to the original, she now had an additional miracle spirit rune [Sword of Justice].

"I learned the church's divine art [Sunshine Greatsword] because of this."

She seemed very happy:

"And because of this new power, when I use the chosen one's talent to judge sin, I can get extra spirit and elemental feedback, and even have a chance to obtain spirit runes from sinners."

"Iluna, you have once again shared the power of the chosen. This time Shad got the light, and you got justice."

Luvia commented, and then asked:

"Then the words of the Central Ring's Ascension should be complete, right? I remember it was the Fool who dances with the Thunder and will tear apart the Poem of Fate."

"I already have all four spirit runes, but the church is still helping me prepare the materials for the promotion ceremony. But I think I will definitely be able to be promoted to the ninth ring before this month. Oh, it's already a high ring."

"What about you, Luvia, are you still a seven-ringer now?"

Xia De asked the purple-eyed girl again, and she also showed her life ring:

"I was promoted to the eighth ring while on the train. This was not a dream. It was a normal promotion process. Dorothy helped me arrange the ceremony."

"Then next, it will be at least a month's vacation."

Xia De said excitedly:

"Although the summer I spent in Moon Bay was fulfilling, I really don't want to go through it again. From now on, unless someone asks me to do something as a detective, I won't do anything unnecessary."

The purple-eyed girl smiled and asked:

"Aren't you going to Moon Bay to visit Vanessa? Shade, I never knew you were such a cruel man."

Iluna also teased Shade, which was rare:

"Didn't you say last time that you wanted to look for a relic that could absorb energy or souls? And you didn't want the church to help you find it."

She also asked softly:

[Aren't you planning to ask the "Red Moon Witch" about her teacher after Feliana leaves? ]

So life is always like this, there is never a time to completely relax.

Iluna and Luvia had been at No. 6 Saint Teresa's Square that morning. Shade took them to the attic to visit the "Saint White Chapel" and talked about the various abnormalities of Mia. Iluna even curiously asked Shade what he had done with Miss Feliana in the past two days. Shade found that even Luvia was very interested in this matter:

"Compared to all the girls around you now, Miss Felina is obviously more... It's hard to find the right adjective, but she is very special."

However, they left without having lunch at home, and since Miss Feliana and Fiona would not be back until the afternoon, Shad wanted to take advantage of the time to deal with the trivialities of life.

But then he realized that there was nothing to do. The maids had done everything while he was away, cleaning the house and tidying up the closet, paying the gas bill, newspaper subscriptions and goat milk bills, paying the monthly taxes, and renewing Shade's office advertisement for next month in the Steambird Daily.

Even the salary from MI6 was specially delivered to Shade's home by Director Anros, who had not yet returned from Yuewan, saving Shade the trouble of traveling.

"Everyone has done their job, so what should I do?"

So he went to Yuewan.

The girls in Moon Bay understood that Shade was unable to visit them in time because of the visit of Miss Felina and Fiona. Therefore, when he appeared in Moon Bay, everyone seemed very happy.

He had lunch at Belindel Manor at noon that day, during which he heard the Countess talk about the news that the City Hall was urging the Moon Bay Bridge to be completed as soon as possible.

After lunch, Shad used the excuse of visiting other friends in Moon Bay, but he was actually pulled into a carriage by Vanessa not far from Belindel Manor.

Since the night before last week, the two had not had the opportunity to spend time together, so the opera singer showed such enthusiasm that Shade spent the entire afternoon of this Tuesday in the Goethe Hotel, and he barely had time to take a shower and return to Tobesk.

"Actually, I was planning to talk to Miss Elither this afternoon. She's different from you, and I was worried that she would be lonely."

"Isn't Miss Elizabeth with Xiwei? Oh, Shad, don't underestimate any lady."

Vanessa, who had just finished a shower and whose hair was still a little wet, said as she hugged Shade as a farewell under the light sunset colors of the window:

“And instead of worrying about whether Miss Elither is lonely, I should worry about whether I will be lonely.”

With a blush on her face, she looked at Xia De:

"I will miss you every night from now on."

"Didn't Hillis say that you would be invited to perform in Tobesk in the fall?"

"That was in the fall. It's still the Flower Moon now, and we'll have to stay in Moon Bay until next month. It'll take time on the road, too, and I'll miss you a lot."

The golden eyes are filled with expectation:

"So, even though Tobesk has Luvia, Carina, Princess Leicia, and Miss Louisa, can you come to my place at least once a week?"

"Of course, I'll have plenty of time next."

She kissed Xia De lightly on the face, then looked at him with a fascinated expression until Xia De took the initiative to kiss her.

As expected, each witch is different, but they all have their own ways of attracting outsiders.
