9. Determination
No matter how slow the journey is, there will be an end.
Before the Holy Grail War, he could not take Karen with him at any time, so he had to return to Edfeldt's house to be cared for by Teacher Anne.
However, although Ka Lian's physique is very bad, but after these painful tempering, Purple found that Ka Lian's spirit is far beyond ordinary people, and because of the induction of the abusive spirit medium, it will be very beneficial to practice séance or illusion, but Purple is not good at illusion, and the Edfield family is not good at séance and illusion, and they can't find a suitable teacher.
Because of the séance, Purple also remembered Kenneth, his rival Kenneth, who had already shone in the clock tower.
Although Kenneth was defeated by him by various means in every provocation when he was in the clock tower, it is undeniable that Kenneth's talent in magic is indeed above him, not only is he good at the fields of spiritualism and alchemy, but his various research results are said to have advanced the magic level of the clock tower by ten years, and there are countless patents alone, and if he is willing, he will definitely be able to give Karen a good lesson.
Unfortunately, this is absolutely impossible.
It's that Kenneth agreed to Zi for the first time and still doesn't feel at ease, who knows if he pretended to agree and then abused Karen behind his back...... Well, maybe it's still overthinking, being in a hostile position, after all, there is also prejudice against him.
In fact, Purple still has a very high evaluation of Kenneth, although he sticks to the concept of a rotten magician, but from another point of view, Kenneth doesn't like to play tricks, he is talented, and his style is also very upright, but his arrogant appearance is really unpleasant, but the battles with him ended in Purple's victory, so Purple really doesn't have much resentment towards Kenneth.
"Hmm...... I can only wronged you to learn healing magic. Purple silently thought.
After all, it was a magic trick that both he and Teacher Anne were proficient in, and it also helped Karen relieve her pain.
But after all, it still seems wasteful.
"Ah, it's almost there, Kalian, and that's your new home from now on."
"Hmm."
Looking at the castle of the Edfield family from afar, Purple felt a warm and familiar feeling.
Your home is as precious as gold.
This is a Finnish proverb, and like similar proverbs elsewhere in the world, it celebrates the beauty of home as a haven of the soul.
But Elquette didn't follow.
She didn't seem to like to have too much contact with unrelated people, and before she arrived in Finland, she suddenly said goodbye and disappeared, only to come to him when she said so.
It's not surprising that on the way back, Elquette rarely talks to Kalian, and if she is a young and lively girl, she will have a strong love for the cute little girl...... However, it would be nice to calm down a little.
Purple finds that she is really not good at dealing with a girl like the white princess.
Although it is true that there is guilt first, but the love fluctuates so much, it doesn't look like him at all, it always feels ...... It always feels like Elquit is like a tinder that can detonate him lightly.
But even so, it's just that I don't get used to it...... For a girl with an innocent smile like her, no, it's the True Ancestor Princess, she really can't even have the slightest disgust.
"Big brother, you're back, it's hard work. Is this also for my maid? ”
Luvia, who was playing at the castle gate, saw Purple with sharp eyes.
Throwing the snowball out at once, Luvia looked at the newcomer, Karen.
A year or two older than Kalian, she looks like a cute doll in a sky blue princess dress, but her growing strength has surpassed that of amber and jade.
Purple replied with a smile and pushed Karen to the front.
"Well, she's Karen, and she may not be suitable to be a maid with a special physique, but she has to get along well, Luvia."
"Of course, leave it to me!"
Karen looked at Luvia in silence, her hands crossed over her chest, and she didn't make any further movements.
But Luvia's patience doesn't run out.
She took Karin's hand half-forcedly, her cheeks close together, and looked at her in detail.
"Your name is Kalian, right, I'm Luvia, I'll be your master in the future, rest assured that I'm here, no one will dare to bully you." You're just in time, let's play snowball, the more people there are, the more fun it is. Luvia said in a hurry, and without asking for Kahin's opinion, she forcibly made Kahren her little maid.
"Lord...... Master? Ah......h
Before Karen could say anything, she was dragged by Luvia to play in the snow at the castle gate.
"Big brother, I'm going to play."
"Go ahead, be careful not to get too dirty."
Zi waved his hand, reminding him by the way.
But it's just a habitual reminder, Luvia definitely won't take it to heart, her active temperament, thank God if she doesn't get covered in snow.
I'm going to prepare a new set of clothes for Karen tonight, and I don't think Luvia will let Karen continue to keep her clothes neat, but Luvia is very good to Amber and Emerald, and although she thinks of herself as a master, she is also very loving to the maid who serves her, and she is a good master.
But then again, with Luvia, it won't all become the "Humanoid Crane" series, ......right? Forget it, it's better not to be a lady if you're not a lady, it's better than being weak enough to be bullied.
After paying attention to the little girls' play, Purple went in to find Anne and told her in detail.
“…… Princess Zhenzu? You mean the True Ancestor? ”
Anne almost crushed the cup in her hand at first, but at the mention of Elquit, her voice suddenly rose several times higher, almost bursting her eardrums.
"No, she said she wanted to be your servant? That's the true ancestor, the ancestor who is also ranked in the top five among the Dead Apostles, oh my God, has Xiao Zi been blessed by the goddess of luck, what other holy relics do you need here, there is no need for it at all! ”
Anne said excitedly, drinking the red wine from her glass.
But after all, she was not carried away by this news, and after calming down, she also considered the gains and losses.
"Indeed, in terms of ability, that princess is more than capable enough to take on the responsibility of protecting you. However, Xiao Zi, you still have some concerns, right, not only the contract, but also the church, and the attitude of the ancestors of the Dead Apostles are not easy to guess, and I have very little information about this in the clock tower. ”
"yes......"
Anne had a point, and Purple's eyes showed that he fully agreed with her opinion.
"Well, the teacher didn't expect it to be like this, but since you agreed to her request at the time, you should do your best to help each other as allies in the contract, a man can't break his word, especially for a very cute girl."
"Don't make fun of me, teacher, I see." A wry smile appeared on Purple's cheeks, and her heart tightened.
In fact, he didn't have the idea of repenting at all, and Anne's persuasion only strengthened his mind.
Erquit ...... You should be his life-worthy companion.
Fight side by side on a battlefield where Heroic Spirits and Magicians intersect.
