At dinner time, Ryan chatted with Althea and her parents while eating the food that Aithea's parents cooked.

When Ryan's parents never died, he had maintained a fairly good relationship with Athea's parents, and it was at that time that Ryan met Athea, and this relationship did not end after the death of Ryan's parents, and Athea's parents would invite Ryan to their home for dinner from time to time, and Ryan had long regarded Athea's parents as family.

"Ryan—"

"Auntie—"

Almost at the same time, Athea's mother and Ryan spoke at the same time, the former smiling at Ryan and saying gently, "You speak first." ”

"Well, I'm going to go out in a few days," Ryan said, briefly reciting Dasha's commission to himself, "and then if Glenn doesn't have a big problem with him, I don't plan to come back for a while." ”

Hearing this, Althea didn't care about eating the mashed potatoes she had just scooped, and looked at Ryan in some surprise, and her parents had the same expression, and even the look of surprise in their expressions was stronger than Athea's.

"Going?" Aithea's mother repeated, incredulous, and asked, "So suddenly?" ”

Althea's father looked at Ryan, and although he didn't speak, he was obviously waiting for Ryan to give a suitable reason.

Ryan took a sip of the mushroom soup, which was a first-class dish at a nobleman's dinner, but it was just a daily routine here, and every household knew how to make a delicious bowl of soup.

"My original intention was actually similar to Glenn's, which was to look outside," Ryan laughed, "or rather, I longed for an adventure to remember when I was younger." ”

As he spoke, Ryan stirred the soup in the bowl embarrassedly, "It's just that I'm a little sorry for Captain Dasha, I was originally about whether her brother Glenn's life was good, and I went back and told her that it would be better." ”

Althea's mother took a deep breath and said solemnly, "But, Ryan, you must know that the owner of our village shop used to be as eager for adventure as you are, until—he was hit by an arrow in the knee. ”

Hearing this, Ryan couldn't help but burst out into a fierce cough.

"Ryan?" Aithea's mother frowned with concern, "Are you okay?" ”

Ryan cleared his throat a few times embarrassed, "It's nothing, I choked on it just now." ”

"Okay, but back to the topic, Ryan, it's not me ......"

"It's all right, my dear," said Athea's father, who took his wife in his arms, and said a few words under the bewildering gazes of Ryan and Athea, and then, meaningfully, "go as you want, and there really is no better arrangement for you." ”

"Uncle?"

Ryan was a little puzzled.

The relationship between the two families was quickly good, and Ryan was willing to treat them as his family, as did the latter, so he was ready for a long war of words.

Why now?

"I understand you, because I'm from this age too," Aithea's father looked at his daughter, "Be sure to be safe then, and besides, do you want to take Aisia with you?" ”

"Dad!"

Under the table, Althea kicked her father.

She did tell her parents that she would one day leave the house to see the outside world, and they agreed.

But!

What is the situation with Ryan!

She and Ryan are no longer children, how can they still stay together all day long like before......

"How's that, what do you think about it?"

Althea's father asked again.

Ryan hadn't really given much thought to Athea's question. Now that I think about it, I think there are pros and cons to this matter, the advantage is that there is a companion to chat with on the road, and Athea is quite appetizing. As for the disadvantages, Althea is only a mage who has not yet started, and if she wants to travel with her, it will inevitably take more thought of her.

Of course, Ryan doesn't resent this too much.

"I'm fine personally, but I'll have to ask for Athea's opinion," Ryan said half-seriously, "after all, this matter is related to her future, and she can't be sloppy." ”

Hearing this, the slippers on Aithea's feet suddenly fell to the ground, she lifted her glasses to look at her father, saw that her father was also looking at herself, and turned her head to look at her mother, only to find that she was also like this, knowing that this matter could only be "on her own", she had to bite her lip, "I have no opinion!" ”

"Are you sure?" Ryan asked seriously, "If you go out with me, you probably won't be able to go home once a year, and adventure isn't as comfortable as studying spell models at home." ”

Althea tilted her head and lifted her glasses habitually, "Of course, I worked hard to study the spell model of each spell so that I could one day become a real mage and see the outside world. Ryan, don't treat me like a child. ”

In Athea's vision, her original plan was to wait until she was able to successfully master the two rings of spells and many tricks before embarking on a journey.

It's just that!

Again, that's the problem.

Although the open-mindedness of her parents made her happy.

But why do you want me to be with Ryan!

Althea thought strangely.

And she didn't know that she should have refused, but why did she actually agree just now.

Now it's good.

It's too late to change your tune.

"If Althea is willing to join me, of course I agree here," Ryan didn't expect Althea to be so decisive, and raised his glass with a smile, of course, it was not filled with wine, but freshly squeezed juice, "Uncle, don't worry, I will take care of Athea." ”

"Well, I believe in you, Ryan!"

Althea's father raised his glass.

For some reason, it was clear that he would not see his daughter for a long time, but Ryan always felt that the middle-aged man was smiling happier than just now.

I guess it's an illusion......

Ryan didn't think much deeply, and took a bite of food, "Athea, like I said earlier, I plan to set off in about five to seven days, during which time you study hard and strive to master an offensive trick." Of course, it would be better if it was a one-ring spell. Don't forget, true adventure is never the same thing as what a bard calls a 'book'. ”

Seeing Althea silently pulling the food in the bowl, as if she hadn't listened, Ryan thought that his tone was a little too serious, so he couldn't help but clear his throat and explain, "Don't worry, I'm just a little worried." After all, this should be your first time away from home. ”

“…… Well, got it. ”

Althea looked at the food in the bowl, looking a little careless.

This made Ryan realize that his way of thinking needed to change, and his experience in his previous life made him always speak with some didactic meaning when facing Athea, but the other party was just his childhood sweetheart, not his own sister who was related by blood, and he definitely wouldn't like to hear this.
