The mother and daughter continued to talk for a while.

Finally, Laddie asked, "Mom, are you ready for the things I mentioned in the letter?"

The thing she mentioned in the letter refers to the matter of taking over Shelah to live with Northwest Bay.

"Oh~ I'm ready, but when I think about leaving the place where I have lived for so many years, I feel very reluctant to leave. Your father and I..."

Seeing the sadness on her mother's face made Laddie feel sad.

"I'm sorry, it was all me who caused you..."

The woman immediately interrupted her and hugged her daughter tightly in her arms, "What stupid words are you talking about? It's all the damn Church's fault."

Even though she felt reluctant to give up, she chose to always be by her daughter's side, especially during this special period.

"I saw a new waiter was hired in the store, she..."

"The child's name is Lisa, and she is a poor orphan. I have talked with her, and she is willing to come with us to Northwest Bay."

"That's great, you can continue to open a 'Flying Dragon Pavilion' there. I'm sure your cooking skills will be very popular."

Shelah then showed a smile.

"I hope so. Do you think it's safe there? I mean your other identity."

Laddie said with some hesitation, "I told you not to blame me. Earl Greiman already... already... knows that I am a mage."

"What?"

The woman's face was full of shock.

"You silly boy, why are you so careless? What if he sells you to Church?"

Laddie hurriedly explained, "The situation was urgent and I had to use magic. Don't worry, the count is not that kind of person. He has no discrimination against magic and mages, and he has a certain influence on the Church people in his territory."

She thought about Father Morris, who was sent by Paul to be the vice-president of the monastery, and didn't know how she was doing.

After listening to his daughter tell how her identity was exposed and Earl Greiman's attitude towards her, Shelah said solemnly:

"I hope he really doesn't have any bad intentions, but after all, people's hearts are separated from each other, so you must be careful."

The mother and daughter continued talking for about half an hour, then Laddie suddenly asked:

"Mom, do you know the news about Meilu and them?"

"Are you your former companions in the adventure group? They often visited me during your absence. They even came to the store to have dinner a few days ago. Now I don't know if they are out on missions."

"I'm going to the Adventurer's Guild to inquire about it."

"Don't worry, Laddie..."

The woman looked at her daughter distressedly and reached out to touch her face tenderly.

"Looking at you, you probably haven't rested for a long time. You'd better take a nap first."

Female Advisor felt relieved because he had returned to his familiar home. When his mother said this, he suddenly felt tired.

"Okay, I do want to take a nap. Ah... I have to take a shower first."

Due to the water shortage on the ship, she had not bathed for several days. Even if she had the opportunity to bathe, she would first wash her body with sea water, and then use a small amount of fresh water to wash away the sea water from her body.

She blushed a little when she thought that her mother would see her not taking a shower for several days.

She was now eager to soak herself in a full hot tub and have a good "luxury".

"Haha!"

Shelah teased her daughter a few words.

"You just sit here and have a good rest. I'm going to prepare hot water for my good daughter now."

After taking a comfortable hot bath, Laddie slept until 2 p. m. when he woke up. He found that his mother and the waitress named Lisa had not eaten lunch and were obviously waiting for her to wake up and eat together.

"Really, you can just eat first."

Although she scolded her, she felt warm in her heart.

The table is filled with her favorite meals, all prepared for her by her mother Shelah.

After enjoying a feast full of family happiness, Female Advisor said goodbye to his mother and walked towards the Adventurer's Guild in the city.

Arriving at the entrance of the guild, the familiar door made her sigh with emotion, Messiah Adventurer's Guild - A few months ago, she was an adventurer belonging to this guild, but now she has become an advisor to a lord thousands of miles away.

"Am I now what some of my colleagues in the past called a 'noble's minion'?"

She asked self-deprecatingly in her mind and reached out to push open the guild door.

"Hey! Isn't that Miss Laddie?"

"Huh? It's indeed Laddie in Leechmann!"

Female Advisor put on the clothes she usually wore, and she was quickly recognized by the adventurers sitting in the hall.

"I heard that she is no longer an adventurer now and has a new job at Aldo in the north."

"Really? Miss Laddie is a flower in our guild. What a pity."

"Ugh, I feel heartbroken when I think about Aldo guys being so cheap."

"Shut up, isn't she back?"

Most people were whispering. Because Laddie had a relatively calm personality before and did not easily talk to people other than Lichman Adventurer Group, so he seemed a bit "cold" to outsiders, and there was no situation where he was greeted by a large group of people.

However, there were also some people who greeted her one after another. These were people who had cooperated with Lichman Adventurer Group before and were familiar with each other.

Laddie responded to them one by one.

"Ah! Miss Laddie, it's been such a long time!"

The counter girl held her hands on her chest and looked at her excitedly.

"It's true that I haven't been back for a while."

Laddie exchanged pleasantries with the lady at the counter and asked, "Meilu are they here?"

"Everyone from Lichman Adventurer Group is on a mission! But today they can..."

"Ah——"

Just then there was a scream at the door! Female Advisor's heart immediately surged with excitement. She was extremely familiar with this voice.

"Laddie!"

"Meilu!"

The two girls hugged each other tightly.

Meilu was accompanied by Dean and other members of the group. They came up one by one to say hello to Laddie.

Everyone found a secluded place and chatted happily.

"When did you come back?"

"Just this morning, I went back home first."

Meilu showed a look of reluctance.

"When you come back this time, you are probably here to pick up Aunt Shelah, right?"

Female Advisor nodded and said in a low voice, "Yes, I really don't worry about my mother living here alone."

"Let's go, the sooner the better. You don't know, recently Church..."

Dean on the side immediately pulled Regiment Commander's sleeves and made a silencing gesture to her.

Everyone's hearts were instantly filled with a dark cloud.

Seeing that the atmosphere became dull, another member of the group, Kai, smiled and said, "This is a rare reunion. Don't look so bitter, everyone. It's so ugly! Let's find a place to have a good meal to celebrate!"

When it comes to eating, everyone's atmosphere becomes lively again.

"Do you still need to look for it? Isn't Flying Dragon Pavilion already available?"

"Yes, yes, I must taste Aunt Shelah's cooking skills before she moves out."

"Haha, welcome!"

Female Advisor decided to cherish this brief reunion.

Thanks to "Zartoo" for the tip!
