I raise elves in Florian

"It's delicious!"

After tasting it, Frilian exclaimed in admiration.

"Right!"

Shi Yichen also took a bite, and it tasted even better than the last time he ate it.

"But I still like what you made."

"Then I'll let you eat your fill from now on."

The two exchanged a smile; that was enough.

"Thank you very much for your hospitality."

Shi Yichen looked at the middle-aged woman standing to the side.

"It's nothing. If it weren't for you, I would have died in the mouth of the wolves. I hope you will come often in the future."

The middle-aged woman looked at Shi Yichen with eyes full of gratitude.

The food on the table was quickly devoured by Shi Yichen and Frilian. While the middle-aged woman and her family were busy, Shi Yichen and Frilian quietly left some money and disappeared.

Shi Yichen knew they wouldn't accept his money, so he resorted to this desperate measure.

By the time Lillian and her daughter caught up, Shi Yichen and Frilian had already disappeared.

"Mom, will they come again?"

Lillian looked at her mother.

"I don't know either, it's all up to fate."

The middle-aged woman looked at the money bag in her hand; the money inside was enough to buy their entire restaurant.

…………

At the city gate.

"Let's go! Let's go back!"

Shi Yichen held Frilian's hand without letting go. Frilian's hand was small, soft, and felt very nice.

"Ah."

Frillie let Shi Yichen lead her home towards the setting sun.

The gentle breeze ruffled their long, flowing hair, much like the caress of their teacher, Flamme, on the two little ones.

"I'm finally back!"

After walking for a while, Frilian was also tired. For the second half of the journey, Shi Yichen carried Frilian on his back. Of course, it wasn't because she was really tired, but because Frilian wanted to be lazy.

"I'm going to tidy up my things."

Shi Yichen checked the barrier around the house and, finding no problems, carried the basket full of things into the house.

The room was filled with scrolls and spellbooks left behind by the teacher Flame. Taking any one of them out would cause a sensation. These were things left behind by Flame, the founder of human magic.

"I'll help you too."

…………

night.

"Why do you have to sit outside? Wouldn't it be better to stay inside?"

Shi Yichen went from the house to the yard and saw Frilian sitting on a chair in the yard, looking at the sky.

"Come and sit down."

Frillie was holding a plate of fruit, which Shi Yichen had prepared as an after-dinner snack for her. Frillie patted the spot next to her, indicating that Shi Yichen should sit next to her.

"What's wrong with you today? You seem strange."

Shi Yichen looked at Frilian with suspicion. Frilian was acting too strangely today; she was never like this before.

"You'll find out soon enough. Want some?"

Frillie picked up a grape and held it to Shi Yichen's lips.

Shi Yichen, of course, didn't hold back and bit down on it, her little tongue accidentally touching Frilian's finger.

In that instant, it felt as if Frilian had been electrocuted. A strange sensation surged into her heart, and her long, thick ears immediately drooped down and turned red. Frilian quickly withdrew her hands.

Fortunately, it was nighttime, so Shi Yichen didn't notice.

Just then, a shooting star streaked across the sky.

"I see!"

As more and more shooting stars streaked across the sky, Shi Yichen finally understood why Frilian wanted him to stay another night. So that's why!

Shi Yichen looked at the shooting stars streaking across the sky and raised his hand to rub Frilian's little head.

"Hum hum."

Feeling Shi Yichen's warm hand above her head, Frilian hummed a cheerful tune.

The two sat in the courtyard, watching the shooting stars dancing in the sky. A warm breeze drifted past them from behind, lifting their long hair, as if Flame were standing behind them.

Only after all the meteors had disappeared did Frilian and Shi Yichen return to the house.

That night, Frilian didn't go back to her own bed to sleep, but instead went to Shi Yichen's bed. Since she was leaving the next day, Shi Yichen granted Frilian's small request, and the two fell asleep in each other's arms.

Sensing Shi Yichen's aura, Frilian quickly fell asleep.

Looking at the sleeping Freya in his arms, Shi Yichen stroked Freya's little head, gently pressed his head against Freya's little head, and closed his eyes.

…………

early morning.

The sun shone through the window onto Frillie's face.

"Ok?"

Frillie slowly opened her eyes, touched the spot beside her, and found it empty, with only lingering warmth remaining.

Frillie propped herself up and got out of bed, but she didn't see Shi Yichen anywhere. The backpack by the door was gone, and there were still things Shi Yichen had left for her on the table.

Seeing these things, Frilian knew that Shi Yichen must have already left.

"Cuckoo~"

Just then, Frillie's stomach betrayed her and growled; she was hungry.

"Sniff~ Sniff~"

Frillie followed the aroma of food into the kitchen. Seeing that the breakfast Shi Yichen had prepared for her was still warm in the pot, Frillie smiled gently at the breakfast.

"Be careful on the road."

…………

While Frillie was still asleep, Yichen quietly slipped away and was already on his way.

"Ah Qiu!"

Who's talking about me?

Shi Yichen rubbed his nose and looked at the map in his hand.

"There are still so many places I haven't been to!"

Shi Yichen looked at the map in his hand; there was still more than half of the place he hadn't been to yet!

Don't be fooled by how small the map looks in anime; in reality, it's a vast and complex world, and there's more than just one continent.

Let's take it one step at a time!

Shi Yichen put away the map and walked in a certain direction.

Anyway, the final destination will not change, but we will travel and play along the way, and there are many places that even Shi Yichen has not been to.

Along the way, Shi Yichen would also take on some requests from the villagers, such as moving goods, helping to find things, delivering things to so-and-so, etc. These are things that adventurers and mages would not do.

The widespread use of magic has made some people feel superior, believing that they have gained power and therefore disdain to associate with ordinary people.

"This is your payment for completing the task."

The villager handed a magic scroll to Shi Yichen.

"Well, the work is done, so I'll be going now."

Shi Yichen looked at the contents of the magic scroll. It was a life-related magic spell, a life-related magic spell that could turn water into tea. It was quite practical, as it would allow him to have hot tea on his journey.

The quality of tea depends on the amount of magic used; less magic results in poor-quality tea, while more magic produces good tea.

"Frilian is very interested in this kind of magic."

After putting away the magic scroll, Shi Yichen bought some supplies in the village and left, heading to his next destination.
