Chapter 4173 With Felian Anna
Shad turned around and saw the green-haired dragon girl smiling and greeting him.
"Long time no see, Shad. This is the first time we've met since we parted ways at the Strange Tree Academy."
She finally found a moment to greet him, and Shad responded:
"Long time no see, Will."
“Call me Elfina, and they’ve been laughing at me ever since I didn’t ask you to call me by my name.”
The green dragon girl immediately said so, while Fiona and Gina beside her were secretly laughing. Shad then changed his words and said:
"Long time no see, Elfina. Iluna and Emilia have missed you too. Emilia said you took great care of her while she was studying here."
The energetic green dragon maid smiled and hugged Shad before quickly stepping into the portal; she dared not delay Miss Feliana's affairs. Fiona muttered something under her breath, gently patted Shad's right leg with her tail, and followed him inside.
Gina smiled at Shad, guessing that everyone shared the same thoughts as her:
"Let's go quickly, Miss Feliananna is waiting."
At the other end of the portal was a rather spacious office. One side of the office had three wide windows, through which one could see the outline of St. Byron's Academy City and the distant, rolling snow-capped mountains and glaciers. The floor was covered with a thick, red cashmere carpet, with some star-blue runes as decoration along the edges.
The room was filled with a refreshing floral scent, and a clock with powerful magical elements ticked in the corner. A grand desk on one side of the room was carved from a single piece of deep purple ebony. On its surface sat a silver quill pen inlaid with diamonds, a gilded inkwell, and several heavy books with gold-embossed covers, the runes on their spines shimmering faintly in the sunlight streaming through the window.
Opposite the desk was a large and comfortable crimson velvet sofa, its cover embroidered with beautiful violets. Against the wall stood a glass cabinet filled with various personal belongings, the lock bearing the emblem of St. Byron's College.
Although there was no evidence, Shad could tell from the office's decor that this was Miss Felicia's office. Mia was standing on the back of the sofa, her eyes bright as she watched the people emerging from the portal. She even meowed when she saw Shad.
Shad had a strange feeling that the cat had been worried that he would be eaten by the witch and never come back.
A petite doll sat on the coffee table, while Miss Feliananna stood by the window gazing at the academy. She only turned around when she heard Shad's footsteps. However, she first glanced at Brienne; after the two demigodesses exchanged a look, Brienne turned her head away. Miss Feliananna then addressed her student:
"You should go wash up first. He has ten minutes left, just remember to be back by the end."
Britney had no objection to this, glanced at Shad again, and pushed open the door to walk out of the office.
The three dragon maids, who had been chatting and laughing just moments before, dared not speak loudly anymore.
"Let's go prepare some tea and snacks."
Then they left the office, but Shad was leaving in ten minutes, so they didn't really need to do that.
Mia jumped from the back of the sofa onto Shad's hand. Shad glanced at the exquisite doll on the coffee table, then met Miss Felian Anna's eyes. The room was quiet, but the laughter of young witches could be heard outside the window. Owls and pigeons flew past the window, and the silhouette of the spire on the east side was quite beautiful.
For a moment, he didn't know what to say. He still felt a little embarrassed thinking about what he and Britney had done earlier, especially when he was facing Miss Felicia.
However, Miss Feliciano only joked:
"Entertainment time is over for now. Before you leave, I'd like to talk to you about something."
“Yes, Ms. Felicia.”
"Shad said," the blonde witch said, seemingly unsurprised by the title. She walked to the sofa and sat down in the middle of the long sofa. Shad hesitated for a moment, then sat down beside her.
Whether it was Shad's imagination or not, Miss Felicity seemed to smile slightly:
"I want to leave the damaged 'Life Forge' that we obtained when we defeated the first evil entity, 'Life,' in the 'Blood Factory' at the academy. There are still some things I want to investigate there further."
Although the shrunken, destroyed furnace likely held many secrets, Shad didn't have much interest in it:
"no problem."
"But you have to take this with you."
She pointed to the doll on the coffee table facing the two people and the cat. To Xia De at this moment, the doll was just an "empty shell," only slightly more exquisite than an ordinary toy.
Miss Feliciano certainly didn't want Shad to treat it as a mere souvenir:
“I had you spend time with Britney earlier so I could have time to perfect this doll. Luckily, I made it in time. I incorporated some fragments of my own thoughts into it. The doll isn't me; I simply used a technique similar to imbuing a golem with its own thoughts. This allows the doll to possess my way of thinking, memories, and powers for a period of time. I'd like to see if you can take this doll back to your timeline.”
Hearing that Miss Felianana was diligently planning for her return while he and Britney were enjoying themselves, Shad felt a pang of bitterness. But he didn't apologize or thank her; he knew Miss Felianana didn't need such things.
"This isn't you, but it can be considered you. This is a test for the Tree Father."
"No, I would never do such a thing."
Miss Feliciano looked at Shad sternly and interrupted him:
"I simply copied my own power and put it inside. Whatever happens afterward is none of my business. This was just a small experiment, and I absolutely did not mean to offend any deity."
"Yes, yes, it's just an academic experiment. If the experiment fails, just make the doll disappear. There's no problem with that."
Xia De nodded immediately, fully understanding her meaning.
Miss Feliciano then reached out and took the doll from the coffee table, examined it for a moment, kissed it on the forehead, and handed it to Shad.
The doll moved her arms and legs, then spoke again:
"This time, as I leave with you, the feeling is truly different from before."
The doll's voice was exactly the same as Miss Ferriananna's, while the real Miss Ferriananna just smiled at her.
"After leaving, we'll still need to deal with the [Leather Goods Guild], and we'll need your help then."
Shad said with a smile that he originally wanted to put the doll on his lap, but Mia had already taken the spot, so he put the doll on his shoulder, and the doll sat very steadily.
"About this trip to the [Bloodstained Factory], and what happened when we left."
She paused slightly:
"If I find any valuable information later, I will put that information in a proper place."
She didn't say where she was going to put the documents, nor did she mention the events of not long ago.
The witch's bright golden eyes gazed at Shad, and Shad's reflection in her eyes was also looking at her. A moment of silence fell over the study. Shad inexplicably understood from those eyes that Miss Feliananna, like him at that moment, had many things to say, but didn't know how to begin.
The outsider felt he should no longer remain silent:
“Last summer, after you and Fiona visited my home and left, I saw the letter you left behind. (2520)”
The letter contained no letters, only a clear red lip print.
The witch blinked, and for a moment she even seemed a little playful:
"Did you keep that letter safe afterward?"
"Of course!"
"I originally wanted to write you a long letter, but looking at the night view outside your window, I hesitated for a long time and couldn't think of what to say. After all, there is just too much I want to say."
She scrutinized Xia De's face:
"I know that one day we will be able to have a long time to drink afternoon tea and talk about all sorts of things, so in the end I didn't write anything, I just left a mark on you."
Shad's eyes unconsciously drifted to her lips; Miss Mana Ferriana was wearing red lipstick—he still couldn't tell the shade, but he knew it was a beautiful color.
"Separation is for the next meeting, isn't that what happened between you and Britney?"
"us."
This time it was definitely not a misperception; Miss Felicity was indeed complaining, and she made no attempt to hide her emotions.
“I never expected Britney to be so brave. I was quite surprised when she helped you in that forest and came back. All young girls are like that. I know what Fiona did when she visited your house last time.”
Xia De felt somewhat embarrassed, but also relieved that even after such a long period of time, his connection with them had never been severed.
"I was too greedy."
Miss Felicity shook her head:
"Last time, I said goodbye to you and left you that letter. So this time, Shad, what will you leave me with as you depart?"
As expected of the witch of the Fifth Age.
She smiled gently in Shad's ear, and Shad didn't ask silly questions like "Is there any paper here?"
"First of all, I want to clarify that I did not kiss the letter you left behind; that would be too perverted."
The witch smiled, her eyes crinkling:
"Yes, yes, I believe you won't."
"And I want to reiterate that I did have such thoughts."
She covered her mouth and laughed, then Shad moved closer to her and put his right arm around her waist. In that instant when their eyes met, Shad saw in Miss Feliciano's eyes a certain emotion that sent chills down his spine and made his heart race.
It's like seeing the most beautiful flowers in the most beautiful season of spring, like seeing the bright moon on the coolest night of summer, like a beautiful girl standing in a golden forest during the autumn harvest season and turning her head to smile, like someone holding his hand when the snow is falling heavily in winter.
Shad took the initiative to kiss him, and Miss Feliananna put her hand on his shoulder.
The kiss was gentle and sweet, and the real touch that made his scalp tingle made the stranger feel like he was that naive guy who didn't even dare to look a young girl in the eye.
The doll on his shoulder watched this scene with a smile, her swaying legs indicating she was in a good mood, and neither of the kissing couple showed any intention of separating immediately. When, after a long while, the two, their hearts pounding, finally parted, Shad believed his expression at that moment was the same as Miss Felicia's in his eyes.
