Despite the previous unfortunate incidents and the temporary closure of the mine, the miners' families, although saddened, received a generous pension and had to move on with their lives.

The Dwarf Workshop, due to the lack of ore supply, had to search for resources everywhere, and then take time to help Xiang Mingri rebuild the mine in order to resume the work of forging high-quality ore as soon as possible.

So Xiang Mingri had a rare few days of free time, without any affairs to deal with, so he decided to spend time with Theresa.

They moved among the bustling crowd, feeling the pulse of the city.

Theresa felt a little uneasy, unsure of what to do with the overly enthusiastic people around her. They kept throwing food at her, trying to bring her closer with delicious food. Even when they learned she wasn't really her sister, they just smiled gently, treating it like a playful quarrel between siblings.

Xiang Mingri was smiling on the side, enjoying this simple and pure happiness. Only when he saw that it was out of control did he step forward to stop it.

Of course, what Xiang Mingri likes more is...

"boom-!"

"Your strength has improved again, Miss Theresa."

Xiang Mingri, holding a spear, was in a stalemate with Theresa's long stick.

In order to break this situation, Xiang Mingri slowly loosened his grip on the spear, letting it fall lightly to the ground with a crisp sound.

Theresa noticed this change and immediately seized the opportunity. She swung her long stick, but Xiang Mingri bent sideways to avoid the blow.

Xiang Mingri glanced at the golden stick and found that the stick was a little short.

That was because Theresa had specially pulled out a section of the magic wand. She skillfully passed that section of the magic wand to her right hand and aimed at his back.

"Great! But it's not enough!"

White light surged around Xiang Mingri, and his hands transformed into two bright sword beams, spinning rapidly in the air, emitting a shocking energy that pushed Theresa back several steps. Her body tumbled in the air and landed steadily on the ground.

She deftly put the three sections of the magic wand together, thrust them into the ground, used the power of the wind to bounce them back, and quickly approached Xiang Mingri again.

In her hand, she also held the transformed weapon - a golden blade.

The golden blade in Theresa's hand flashed brightly in the sunlight. She finally got it, and was finally able to mobilize the magic of light in her body.

Fighting Xiang Mingri with dual swords? That would be asking for trouble.

She cleverly chose not to use the traditional sword method, but instead threw the sharp blade like a kunai, avoiding the folly of a head-on confrontation.

Xiang Mingri decisively merged the two swords in his hands, turning them into a more powerful weapon. As his arms swung out like a whirlwind, the blades cut through the air and headed straight for Theresa.

Her blade seemed insignificant and was directly cut into golden points that dissipated in the air.

Theresa stood there in a daze. She wanted to try something new.

After touching the ball of light, a powerful energy quietly flowed through her body, as if a potential power was awakened.

This feeling is indescribable, like some kind of omen.

She slowly extended her finger and pointed toward the sky. Subtle air currents began to gather around her body, and time seemed to be paused.

Theresa felt a strong sense of crisis.

will die!

Theresa felt that if she used this power in her body, she might pay an unbearable price, or even endanger her life.

Her arms seemed to be dissolving.

Black Hand's body can't hold on any longer!

Then, Theresa saw the high blue sky, white clouds, and bright sun.

It’s good to be young. As soon as your eyes turn dark, you can fall asleep.

......

Ah!

Theresa woke up suddenly and subconsciously touched her arm. When she felt the familiar smooth touch, she breathed a sigh of relief.

At this moment, she was lying on a soft bed. There was a portrait of the goddess Astra hanging on the headboard. The goddess' smile seemed to bring her a little comfort.

No wonder people like to hang their favorite posters above their beds. It turns out it really does have this effect.

Black hand? Little black hand? Are you still there?

Theresa tried calling out, but received no response.

It looks like the little guy has gone to sleep too.

Just then, the door of the room was gently pushed open, and Xiang Mingri walked in with a cup of ice-cold pear tea.

He placed the teacup on the table and said to Theresa, "Are you awake? Have some pear tea. Did you get a heat stroke? Take a break. It's so hot."

"Thank you." Theresa took the cup and drank the whole cup of pear tea in one breath. The dryness in her throat gradually disappeared and her body became relaxed.

As for why she only said one word, it was because she found that her language barrier seemed to be more serious, and she could only utter one word now.

I'm so happy! Every word is worth a thousand gold now.

"We're leaving tomorrow, right? Do you need anything to bring? Bring some clothes. It would be a shame to leave my sister's clothes lying around. Feel free to use them. As for the money, I've already deposited it into the card. If it's not enough, I'll give you some more."

Xiang Mingri said a lot in one breath. Theresa was stunned by what he said, but she still nodded seriously to show that she heard it.

She had already heard the news from Akzhan that people from the church came every day, and they had to run away when they came.

This place is so great, with advanced technology, you can get whatever you want. If you don’t have it, you can ask Grandpa Tidarson to help you make one.

Ah Xi, if I have enough money in the future and want to buy a big house, where will I buy it?

"It is indeed very troublesome that Miss Theresa does not have a formal identity. As expected, you still need some identity when you go out. If you don't mind, you are welcome to come here anytime." Xiang Mingri said with a smile.

Xiang Mingri's words were very straightforward, meaning that he hoped Theresa would no longer have to hide because of her monster identity.

So, what exactly is the identity that Xiang Mingri mentioned?

Theresa knew in her heart that this identity should be her sister, Sunflower.

After all, the people in Rihe City have now tacitly acknowledged the existence of Sunflower. If they meet people from the church, they may be able to use this identity to get away with it.

However, Theresa did not want to accept this identity.

Because it would make her feel very disrespectful, inexplicably taking over someone else's life, even though that person might no longer be here.

I always feel that doing this is weird. I am clearly myself, so why do I have to live under someone else's identity?

Let’s not think about it for now.

Theresa remained silent about this question, and Xiang Mingri probably already had the answer in his mind.

"Would you like a sketchbook? Or a small notebook? I'll prepare some for you. Remember to bring some pear tea back tomorrow. Now that the weather is not too hot, shall we go to the garden?"

"it is good."

The happy life in Hiyori City has come to an end.
