Ivia: "..."

What kind of good news is this?

Are you still my teacher or not?

“You have a mission to complete, so it might not be convenient for you to take him,” Daphne said seriously. “Then I’ll reluctantly go and pick him up on the way.”

What's the point of a country full of religious fanatics? I might as well go back to the Mage Association headquarters and discuss alchemy with myself.

"I won't trouble you, teacher," Ivia said expressionlessly. "Ye Tu has no plans to go back."

With that guy with him, he's having a great time here.

"I see..." Daphne looked somewhat disappointed.

Enough!

It's your student who's contacting you. What's the meaning behind you constantly mentioning Ye Tu?

You two have only met once from beginning to end.

Don't tell me you fell in love with Ye Tu at first sight in just three hours!

"What's wrong, darling?"

Daphne's spirits were clearly low, and she spoke in a weak and listless manner.

Ivia paused:

"...I just want to ask about the package that was forwarded along with it."

"pack?"

Daphne frowned slightly, seemingly not remembering, before realizing it after a few seconds.

"You mean that one? Aren't you going to stay in the Dawn Empire for a while longer? I just sent it over to you."

"What, you didn't receive it?"

"Or is there something wrong with the items?"

Judging from this, did the teacher really not open it to look?

"You're not worried that I'll peek at the books you bought, are you?" Daphne teased. "Don't worry, teacher, I'm not interested in those."

Ivy paused.

"I didn't buy it."

And she wasn't interested in those books either...

At the very least, I'm not that interested.

She was just...

I was just looking for material in those books!

Correct!

It's all for finding material!

"Yes, yes, you didn't buy any. I'm the one who stuffed those under your bed for you."

That sounds like you're trying to coax a child...

However, it seems the teacher probably didn't see those letters.

Ivia was finally relieved.

……

……

After half an hour.

Thinking she had fooled Daphne, Ivia took a set of data collection tools and left the Mage Guild for Irene Vit's mansion.

But as she passed by Qiming Square, she found that the square was surrounded by people.

Near the statue in the center of the square, squads of Holy Radiance Warriors were maintaining order, with two people standing in the very center, both dressed in golden and white divine robes.

He was a middle-aged man with features that looked as if they had been carved by a knife, and a cold and hard demeanor.

The other person had white beard and hair, a ruddy complexion, and a kind and peaceful demeanor.

This is……

The other two archbishops of the Church of Dawn?

Before coming to the Dawn Empire, Ivia had done her research and knew very well that only the archbishop could wear this color of divine robe.

What happened?

Not only were there so many people gathered around, but two archbishops from the Church of Dawn were also present.

Feeling a bit curious, I planned to stop and see what was going on.

Out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of a familiar figure squeezed into the crowd not far ahead.

It was that old man who was extremely hostile to the mage, who had given her the Dawn Crown Flower first but then took it back, and who looked at her with eyes that seemed to regard her as 'dirty'.

Ivia immediately felt a little annoyed.

He lost all interest in staying any longer, picked up his suitcase, and turned to leave.

The main point is that this old man is a wicked regional knight.

But he can't really be considered a bad person.

Irene Wett had investigated for her; the old woman herself was clearly not doing well, yet she had helped many people.

Many homeless people have had a hot meal at her place during their most desperate times.

There was once a child who was seriously ill, and even the Dawn Church's relief organization abandoned him.

But she took out all her savings and hired a priest with divine magic to bring the child back to life.

That child is now a Holy Knight of the Holy Tribunal.

This is the kind of person you can call foolish, ignorant, or even stupid!

But to call her 'bad' would be going too far.

Essentially, Ivia is still a kind, even somewhat naive, young girl.

Naturally, she didn't want to argue with an ignorant but still kind old man.

However, she couldn't stand the way people looked at her as if she were 'dirty'.

and so……

If you can't afford to mess with them, can't you at least avoid them?

She left in a hurry, while the old woman stared intently at the center of the square, her eyes filled with worry.

Both archbishops are present, but Sir Cyril is nowhere to be seen…

Could something have happened?

……

……

the other side.

Ivy arrived at the Irenevitt mansion carrying a suitcase.

Am I too late?

She strode into the study with a carefree attitude, but the scene before her eyes left her frozen in place.

But it was Irene Wett who was reaching out to remove the collar from her neck.

Ye Tu leaned back on the sofa, examining another collar in his hand.

"..."

No!

What did you two do while I was away?

"It's alright, not too late." Irene Vitte placed the collar on the table, her tone indifferent.

"That's good." Ivia replied unconsciously, her expression blank.

"Let's begin then."

If it ends sooner, she can go back to her spiritual practice sooner.

"Oh……"

wrong!

"Start what?! What were you two just doing?!"

(≡o·o≡)

She finally realized what was happening.

It's broad daylight!

"What's wrong?" Irene Vitte asked, puzzled.

What? What happened?

What you just did is considered quite explicit if it were drawn into a book, you know?

"Alright, stop overthinking it. She's just trying it on."

Try them on?

Who in their right mind would try on something like this for no reason?

"Where did this come from? You didn't buy it, Ye Tu, did you?"

“I did it,” Irene Vitte said calmly.

"You did it?"

Ivia was taken aback.

That's right.

The Ice Warrior family seems to possess a secret forging technique; the previous Ice Warrior even forged a sacred artifact.

That doesn't make sense either!

The Ice Warrior's secret forging techniques, and you use them to make this thing?!

Chapter 24 The True Lord, or the God in Our Hearts?

A few minutes later.

After some explanation, Ivy finally understood Irenevitt's purpose in doing this, and she came to her senses...

What a load of rubbish!

Your thought process is really weird!

If the Ice Warriors of all ages knew that you made this thing using secret forging techniques, they would cry.

There are just too many flaws; she simply can't understand it.

but……

I don't understand it.

After all, it's a matter between Ye Tu and Irene Weite, and it would seem strange for me to take it to heart.

Forget it.

After forcing herself not to dwell on the matter, she sat down, put on a serious face, and took out her tools to start collecting data.

whatever.

Let them do what they want, let's get the task done first.
