"The new ice cream is selling well." Hutao, the eldest daughter of the Fox family, is entertaining Sylutia people at home today.
Hutao, Sylutia, Lovier, Aurora, are currently sitting in the Courtyard round pavilion of Fox's house, drinking afternoon tea and enjoying snacks.
The examination has ended. After a while, the three Sylutia will go their separate ways to the Academy of their choice.
"I envy you guys, your grades are so good." Hutao thought about it and talked about his own situation.
"Actually, with our family's relationship, it would not be difficult to get into a high-level Academy, especially since "Feast School" has a good relationship with us and has always cooperated."
"However, my father feels that I am still not stable enough. He hopes that I will continue to study here for one year and lay a solid foundation before going there." She said, stroking the light red hair on her chest with her fingers and slowly playing with it.
"That's not bad. I remember you didn't like studying in the first place." Aurora said slowly while holding a tea cup. The two of them had known each other before, but their relationship was not that close.
"Aurora still speaks so viciously." Hutao didn't pay much attention at the moment, since there are no outsiders here anyway.
"What about you, if you don't go to Opera School, will your family really not care?"
"They wanted to take care of it, but my protest was successful, and in the end they had to compromise." Aurora remembered what happened before Asura District, when she had a big quarrel with her family.
"How courageous." Hutao propped his chin with his hand and looked at the flower lawn outside the round pavilion, his thoughts flying in the summer wind.
On the other side, Lovier drank tea, held Sylutia's hand, and the two walked among the lawn flowers. She tried to turn the plucked flowers Weaving into a headband.
Sitting on the grass among the flowers, her skirt was spread out, and Weaving was holding the flower stems awkwardly with her hands, trying to remember the way Sylutia held hands and taught her during the previous spring outing.
Quietly watching Lovier's movements, Sylutia did not interrupt or interfere in a hurry, but just stayed with her, watching Lovier's slightly clumsy movements, finding traces in her memory little by little, and put a simple flower headband Weaving into place.
"Wow, it's finally done." Holding up the headband composed of light yellow, red, and pale white flowers, Lovier's voice sounded particularly happy in the wind.
"Hedra, let me put it on for you."
"Yes." The girl lowered her head slightly, then Lovier carefully placed the wreath on her head and adjusted it slightly.
Then the girl raised her head, half of her body stood in the sea of flowers, her smooth and flowing hair was slightly raised in the wind, and the petals were also gently trembling in the wind. Against the backdrop of the blue and washable sky behind her, she looked like a famous painting handed down from generation to generation.
"That's great." Lovier clasped his hands in front of him, watching the scene.
After that, the two held hands again and walked among the flowers. Lovier occasionally squatted down and touched those beautiful and tender petals.
Today, she still exudes bright vitality, but under that happy expression, there is also a touch of sadness, which is different from the past.
The blond Lovier ran quickly ahead with her wide skirt in hand, then turned back and smiled at Sylutia.
"Hedra, do you want to chase me? I run very fast." After saying that, she jumped up lightly on the grass again, and her light-colored shoes were occasionally exposed from the flying skirt.
Sylutia walked over unhurriedly, and after only running for a short while, Lovier squatted on the ground because of an ankle injury.
"Does it hurt?"
Sylutia walked over, squatted down beside her, pushed aside the hem of her skirt, and helped her check her feet.
The nice-looking shoes with a slight heel were taken off, revealing the somewhat shy and embarrassed ankles. Today Lovier is wearing white stockings, and the toes and ankles form a nice curve.
"It should be fine, eh." Although he said it was fine, when Sylutia pinched the ankle, Lovier still exclaimed in pain.
"You..." The girl shook her head slightly, blinked her eyes, and helped Lovier check the situation.
It's probably because Lovier's physical fitness is pretty good, and she's not heavy either, so the injury isn't serious, just some bruises, and she'll probably be fine with a day or two of rest.
He rubbed Lovier with his fingers to dissolve the congestion. Sylutia talked with her and then helped her put on her shoes again.
It would be inconvenient to move. Lovier and Sylutia sat on the grass again, and then Lovier leaned gently on Sylutia's knees. The golden hair also flowed through the girl's fingers, like flowing golden strands.
"Hedra, do you think I'm too stupid?" She whispered, leaning on the girl's arms and looking at the sky in the distance.
"No, Lovier is not stupid." In Sylutia's opinion, although Lovier is a bit naive and naive, he is actually very smart, which can be seen from his usual schoolwork.
"Really? But I feel like it's always hard to learn something." She leaned into Sylutia's arms, rubbed her head, and found a more comfortable position. She looked just like her usual big cat.
"Although everyone at home likes me and dotes on me, sometimes I still feel that I am too stupid to keep up with everyone's expectations of me." Looking at the blue sky and clouds in the distance, Lovier talked about some past events.
"Do you still remember, Hedra, during that spring outing, you taught me how to use the reed Weaving bracelet."
"After I compiled it, I was stunned for a long time and almost shed tears." Lovier said about the little incident before.
"It's strange. It's obviously a very small thing, but I almost shed tears."
"It's not surprising. After all, no matter how small things happen to others, they may be important moments that you have experienced." Sylutia comforted her.
"Hedra is so good~" Lovier said in a slightly coquettish tone. He raised his white wrist and opened it in front of his eyes, letting the wind pass through his fingers.
"I was very timid when I was a child. If no one slept with me at night, I would be extremely scared, and I was most afraid of the dark." Lovier closed his eyes and talked about his weakness.
"I chose "Blazing Sun" because I was afraid of the dark. If I could create a bright little sun, I would feel more at ease."
"I like plush and warm things. I have been pampered by my family since I was a child. If I am unhappy, the whole family will be unhappy."
"Really, why do everyone care about me so much? Sometimes I can't even cry even if I want to." Lovier said about his little troubles.
"Speaking of it, I have never suffered hardships since I was a child. When I got older, I realized that not all my peers were like me."
"Because my family is so kind to me, and occasionally I have the idea of doing something, so I study very seriously." Lovier made a triangle with his fingers towards the sky.
"Although my grades and talents are not bad, compared with my family background, as well as the care and love I receive, they are still not enough. However, my personality can no longer continue to work hard because I will think about having fun."
"My family actually doesn't care about my grades. They just want me to be happy, but I feel like I'm going to be spoiled by them."
"I only say these words to you, because if I tell others, they will probably laugh at me because I live too happily, so I have such troubles." Lying in Sylutia's arms, Lovier's two calves raised and lowered behind him.
"The first time I felt sad was when my great-grandmother passed away. She was very old and could no longer see her, but she still liked me very much and liked to hold me and tell stories."
"Weaving taught me some things when I was young, but I was too young and didn't learn them at that time. When I remembered them later, she had already left me."
"People are mortal, Hedra."
"Death is the separation of never seeing each other again." Lovier raised his head, groped Sylutia's wrist, and then held his fingers.
"Don't forget me when you go to the Thetis Academy in the future. You are the first friend I made on my own outside. Although Aurora is not bad either, I prefer to stay with you."
"I won't forget it." Sylutia looked at the blond figure in front of him, nodded slightly, and then hugged her into his arms.
In the distance, Aurora was sitting in the pavilion watching this scene, holding a teacup and complaining.
"Lovier must be acting coquettishly again." In her eyes, this wealthy lady is like a child who has not yet grown up, but she is indeed very cute and innocent.
A week later, the three of them began to pack their things and prepare to go to their respective Academy.
"The members of high-level Academy have their own independent rooms, and they are all spacious." Aurora introduced them.
"You can all bring your things, and you can prepare some extra furniture depending on the situation."
"Really? Then I have to move all the beds and cabinets from home~" Lovier thought of the furniture that she missed so much. She had always missed those things she had used since she was a child.
"Ranran, from now on you can live in a big cat house like you did in the past, and have your favorite climbing frame for the whole house~" Lovier said, picking up his big golden gradient cat. The cat was held in Lovier's arms. He seemed a little depressed, and his two hind legs stretched.
"Okay, I won't wrong you anymore." After saying that, Lovier let go of it, and then the cat returned to the bed, shook its body and shook its fur, then raised its tail and rubbed behind Lovier. It liked Lovier, but it was not used to being forcibly hugged by Lovier.
Standing up, Lovier seemed to remember something.
"Do you want to prepare additional furniture? I can ask my family to build it for you and then send it over."
"Here, have you ever thought about how much trouble it would be to send it from Harp Flower Union?" Aurora couldn't help but raise his forehead and shake his head.
"It won't be too troublesome. Our family has a special airship. Anyway, we occasionally come here for trade. I'll just ask them to bring it over." Lovier nodded nonchalantly.
"Airship..." Aurora thought of something.
"It seems that I was offended. Is your family one of the founding families of Harp Flower Union?" She remembered that Mage Alliance had only a handful of airships for sale, so she could easily find out who it was.
"Aurora doesn't care about me at all. At this time, he is even guessing about my family background." Lovier snorted slightly.
"Because I usually see so many young ladies from wealthy families, I'm used to it." Aurora himself comes from a wealthy family, but he is not very sensitive to this.
"For me, there's no need. Just bring the one I used in my family over here. Hedra, you can prepare some for her. I believe you won't treat her badly." Of course she knew that Lovier liked Hedra the most. Occasionally, they would wear the same dress, but in different colors.
Aurora is not too sad about the upcoming parting. For her, several core areas of the Mage Alliance are very familiar to her. This year of coming to Asura District is almost like a year of vacation.
"We will meet again after this year's Silver Bell Festival. At that time, you can come to Greater Airo District. I can entertain you well at home and take you to enjoy various local opera programs, events, food, etc." Aurora made an invitation in advance.
"Okay, let's meet again Silver Bell Festival in half a year~" The three of them folded their hands together and made a high-five.
The next day, Sylutia came to Agate Street and met many acquaintances here.
She told everyone some things in turn, and finally said goodbye to Anali alone.
"I'm going to the Thetis Academy, and you have to walk the rest of the way by yourself." She looked at the thin girl with horns in front of her and said slowly.
"Well, I will take care of myself, Master Hedra." Anali held the notebook given to her by Sylutia and nodded solemnly.
"Study hard. I have recorded a lot of insights in the notes I gave you, which should be able to help you." Sylutia touched the other person's head.
"Although you are Orc, I believe there is no gap between you and humans in terms of IQ. You can also learn all kinds of Secret History Knowledge and become a powerful Transcendent."
"Have you ever thought about what career you will pursue in the future? After all, in a year or two, you will have to consider which Academy to choose." Sylutia asked.
"Probably a profession that can gain great strength." Anali replied in a low voice.
"My body is not as strong as other Orc, and I am often taken care of by Master Hedra and others. A profession such as a warrior is not suitable for me." She said her thoughts.
"What a powerful strength..." Sylutia recalled Mage Alliance's various schools of thought.
Although many schools are powerful, this power is mostly reflected in the products and the various arcane abilities brought about by the school's research, rather than the extremely strong combat effectiveness of Mage of this school.
"Simply speaking of strength, the one closest to this image should be the ninth-ranked "Fire Spirit School". They are famous for their expertise in fire spells and making explosives."
"However, you may not be suitable for this school of thought." Sylutia thought about Anali's appearance of manipulating flames and throwing explosives, and couldn't help but shake his head.
"How about choosing a slightly more peaceful school of thought? Don't rush now, you still have two years to think and prepare." She suggested Anali.
"When you have time later, you can go to "Fire Pig" or "Four Fingers" and learn about their methods and methods of managing organizations."
"Although the two of them have rich experience, they are too affected by past experiences and habits. In fact, I have many brand-new ideas that are still waiting for someone to put them into practice."
"Did Sir Hedra expect this? I know, I will try my best." Hearing this, Anali suddenly became excited.
Perhaps this was the first time she had been entrusted with something to look forward to, and she wanted to repay and respond to this emotion.
Not only for myself, but also for everyone at Agate Street, as well as those dead Orc companions.
Master Hedra is destined to go to a higher place. The other person is the rising bright morning star, and she herself will undertake this adult's mission in the darkness and help her realize her ideal.
Without Sylutia's knowledge, Anali set himself future goals and missions.
