Whispering Verse

Farther away, on the second floor of the manor house, Sirius, one of the owners of the manor, and the black-haired maid had arrived at the second floor terrace, looking at the two people playing on the swing in the snow from a distance.

Sirius pouted slightly, but did not have any negative emotions because of it. Tifa still had her usual smile on her face:

"Speaking of which, Miss Lassers, when you first moved into the manor, why did you install a swing here?"

"It was Vanessa's suggestion. She said that the scenery in the courtyard was too monotonous, and it would look better with a swing. Well, in fact, every summer, when the flowers in the flower garden are blooming best, she always I like to sit there in the afternoon.”

The blonde girl said, and the maid nodded. The smile on her lips made the lines on her lipstick-covered lips more obvious:

"I don't know what Miss Benenice will think when she sees this scene."

She said softly. Sirius thought for a moment, showed a strange expression, and then pretended not to care and said:

"Look, they look like a perfect match."

Tifa turned to look at her, and the teasing look in those black eyes made Sirius feel like he had been seen right through.

"If you really think so, you're just admitting defeat."

The maid reminded, so the blonde girl immediately turned red and did not dare to continue speaking to prevent herself from being seen through more. Tifa maintained the elegance of a maid and looked at the scene in the manor courtyard with a smile, looking forward to what new stories would happen after returning to Tobesk City.

Shade and Luvia did not stay in the snow for too long. The snow in early spring became heavier and heavier, and they returned to the house in time.

At the lunch table that day, except for Iluna who was busy in the church, all the witches and witch apprentices, including Margaret, appeared.

Fortunately, the manor had originally prepared a long dining table specifically for banquets, so so many people could sit at the table. Miss Benanis originally planned to let Shade sit in the main seat, but Shade refused, and finally he sat on the right hand side of Miss Benanis.

There were no very sensitive matters discussed on the table, but the ladies each talked about their recent plans after the incident in Randall Valley.

Miss Carina, Tifa and Rita Swift, who do not belong to this city, will pass through Miss Sylvia's portal early next week and return to Tobesk City and Midhill respectively. Fort City. In fact, if Shade hadn't been in a coma for a day and a night, they should have gone back immediately.

Miss Sylvia herself came to the local area as a traveler, so she planned to return to Willondale, the royal capital of the Southern Kingdom, with Margaret. Their return is scheduled for later next week, as a ribbon-cutting ceremony to unveil the shipyard, scheduled for this weekend, was postponed to next week due to the Randall Valley disaster.

Margaret originally planned to invite Shade to attend the ribbon-cutting ceremony banquet held locally next week. But looking at Shade's current situation, she could only let go of this thought temporarily. After all, there is still a lot of time in the future. When she officially goes through the ceremony to become a witch's apprentice next week, there will be many opportunities to interact with Shade.

As for Miss Aurora and niece Hailey, they came to Randall Valley under the pretext of family business. Because he is an important guest at the ribbon-cutting opening ceremony of the shipyard next week, he will stay locally for about a week, which was also the original plan.

As for Luvia, it has been nearly three months since she came to the local area because of the "Language of Sublimation". Now that things in Randall Valley were over, she was finally going home.

"I miss that bed in your bedroom."

This was what the purple-eyed girl whispered to Shade before the meal with a blushing face.

"Speaking of which, Luvia, how are you going to get back to Tobesk? By steam train?"

At the lunch table, Shade asked curiously, thinking of Dr. Schneider who was temporarily staying at the Fertile Land Hotel. The doctor finally made a trip to the Randall River Valley, thinking of staying here for a few days to see the scenery.

Although the doctor came through the "Magician's Escape Box", he could only go back by train because of the properties of the relic. So maybe Luvia and the doctor could go back together and look after each other on the way.

"I forgot to tell you, Miss Denister delivered a letter yesterday at noon."

Luvia seemed to have just remembered, a worried expression appeared on her face again, and the other ladies at the table also looked at Shade:

"She said that when they return to the academy, they can give me a lift and take me directly to Tobesk. The letter also said that she will be very busy these days, but she will definitely be able to make time tonight. By then, she plans to When I met you, I was originally worried that you wouldn't be able to wake up tonight."

"Shade asked me to take him to find the thirteen-ring sorceress in the early hours of Saturday morning. After all, I have to explain the reason."

Miss Sylvia, who was deeply involved in this matter, said, Miss Aurora also looked at Shade with some concern:

"There is an essential difference between the thirteenth ring and the twelveth ring. The difference is not just the complete third word of sublimation. Even I can't defeat your teacher. Why don't we go together? In the case of a sneak attack , I think it’s okay to at least subdue her.”

"Ahem."

Margaret, who was sitting at the far end of the table, accidentally coughed a few times.

"No, no, Miss Danister and I don't have any grudges. It's just some unexplained things that I can explain clearly."

Shade was not worried about this. Seeing what he said, Luvia teased from the side:

"You always have a way with sorceresses."

Laughter echoed around the table, and Tifa behind Shade bent down to help him change the plates, which made it easier for Shade to lower her head to cover up her embarrassed expression:

"In short, the matter of the chosen ones of the earth is finally officially over."

He picked up the wine glass:

"Originally, we planned to hold a banquet to celebrate after this incident is over, but now it seems that in order to investigate the appearance of the three gods, the church and college investigation teams will soon search this place, so there is no time to hold a banquet. . Why not raise a toast to celebrate now? I think there will be time to get together again in the future."

The ladies at the table all had smiles on their faces, and everyone raised their glasses. Even Tifa took a glass from the dining car.

Seeing them all looking at him, Shade took the initiative and said:

"The story of pursuing the chosen ones will continue, and after the fifth one will be the sixth one. Although we have no intention to change the world, we are the defenders of the world. We respect the earth, the gods, and ourselves."

Outside the window is a courtyard with snow falling in early spring, a warm interior, and a long table covered with delicious food. The beautiful ladies toasted with Shade, and even Mia stood on Shade's shoulders with bright eyes.

Glasses filled with red wine the color of blood were held high and sparkled under the crystal chandelier. Sometimes, especially in happy moments like this, outsiders will doubt whether everything they experience is real. But every time he sees them, every time he hears "her" laughter, he will understand that compared to him, who is the smile that fate shows to them, they are the best gift that fate gives to lonely strangers.

The witch apprentices did not personally experience the banquet before Saturday morning that was now planned to be included in religious books and passed down as myth. Therefore, they did not know what Shade had done, and the relevant content could not be discussed at the dinner table.

So after lunch, the four great witches went to discuss some matters with Shade.

The young girls were driven elsewhere, and even Luvia did not participate in the subsequent conversation. Of course, it's not that the witches don't allow it, but that Luvia has to rush to the Prophet's Association, which has been very busy these days.

Before leaving, she gave Shade a cheering look, and then watched Shade holding Mia, who was full and sleepy, surrounded by Miss Aurora, Miss Carina, Miss Benanis and Sylvia. Miss Via pulled into the room.

Considering Shade's physical condition, the conversation took place in the room where Shade rested, but he did not lie on the bed. Tifa took the other maids of the manor to bring tea and snacks, and then left. After the door was closed and the five people sat in a circle on the sofa, the other witches all turned their attention to Miss Aurora. This lady with beautiful long wavy brown hair actually didn't know how to speak:

"so."

She carefully considered her sentences, as if she were dealing with a mental patient who might go crazy at any time. Of course, Shade knew what they wanted to ask, so he didn't let Miss Aurora say any more:

"Okay, I admit that I lied before."

He blinked and looked at the great witches around him:

"Now I can tell you: Shade Suellen Hamilton, the man holding the cat in front of you, is indeed the person generally defined by the church and the ring magicians in this world as the 'God Caller'. Of course. , one thing I want to clarify is that I am not the Thirteen Rings, nor are I those weird characters with strange characteristics in the divination of the church and the Prophet Association."

"Meow~"

Mia, who was lying on Shade's lap as he stroked her back, narrowed her eyes and barked, which showed that the cat was enjoying this moment.

After the words fell, no one else spoke. The witches studied each other's expressions and urged others to speak. Finally, Miss Carina, who had the closest relationship with Shade, spoke. Her right thumb and index finger unconsciously played with the red hair hanging by her ear:

"You are the God Caller. In fact, we already guessed it last year when we were at Fort Midhill. After the Battle of Pantanal, there is basically no doubt about it."

The Grand Duchess of the North said hesitantly:

"Actually, that's not what we want to know. It doesn't matter that you can exert almost demigod power. What matters is, did you really call the gods?"
