BXBX NOVEL Chapter 549
Vincent knocked on the open door and entered. “I have returned.” He said with a smile.
Sofy stopped talking and stood up. She seductively smiled at Vincent. She approached Vincent while saying, “I will go to inform the others of your arrival. Are you perhaps going to keep Jun Ye Rim company in my stead?”
“I was looking for Sakura. I have acquired a wand, and I was going to give it to her.”
“Sakura mentioned she wanted to ask you about some kind of chair on wheels or a cart or something like that.” Sofy winked at Vincent and continued, “Sakura should be in her lair.”
[Does Sofy feel not shame to flirt with you in front of Jun Ye Rim.]
Kazumi exited Vincent’s body and asked Jun Ye Rim [I hope this horny elf didn’t teach you any naughty stuff. Sofy has decades of experience on how to dominate men.]
Kazumi looked at Vincent and joked [Even Vincent doesn’t want to have a chance alone with Sofy, hahaha.]
*Cough, cough, cough* Jun Ye Rim spat the water she was drinking and started coughing after hearing Kazumi’s joke.
.....
Sofy rushed to rub Jun Ye Rim’s back worriedly because she couldn’t hear Kazumi talking about her. After Jun Ye Rim stopped coughing, Sofy questioned why she spat out water all of a sudden.
Jun Ye Rim glanced at Vincent, but he was shaking his head. She glanced at Kazumi, but her eyes were arched happily, indicating she was enjoying the current drama as usual.
Without any assistance to get out of the situation, Jun Ye Rim wiped her mouth and said, “I am not that thirsty, but because I saw you required company, I came to the conclusion of following you. I tried to drink this glass of water since you wished me to drink, but I made a mistake, and you know the rest.”
[Sigh. Can’t you be honest for a change.] Kazumi shook her head before returning to Vincent’s body.
“Jun Ye Rim, sorry for what happened. I hope you can enjoy what remains of the day.” Vincent turned around and left.
“Why did Vincent apologize?” Questioned Sofy.
Jun Ye Rim faintly blushed. “Maybe he felt it was his fault. It was a drink provided by his property that caused me a problem after all.”
Jun Ye Rim nodded. “Yes, it was a dangerous drink indeed.”
Sofy looked at Jun Ye Rim while scratching her head with a puzzled expression.
Sofy smiled a while later. She decided the drink wasn’t the problem. The troublesome elf in front of her started to act nervously, and strange was.
“Let’s go, my elf friend.” Said Sofy while grabbing Jun Ye Rim’s hand.
Jun Ye Rim was pulled out of her seat. While she was dragged, the thought of Vincent’s apology flashed on her mind.
‘Vincent apologized for what Kazumi did. I hope she will not cause him too many problems.’ Jun Ye Rim thought with a faint blush on her cheeks.
Later, Vincent arrived in front of Sakura’s workshop. He knocked on the door, and as usual, a hand grabbed him and pulled him inside.
A few hours later, the two of them exited the workshop. Sakura smiled preciously while mentioning how she loves Vincent and the gifts he brings her.
Vincent felt guilty because the gift was mostly to help Sakura improve and learn to create better items. But looking at Sakura’s pleasant smile for a couple of minutes made Vincent feel relieved she was delighted.
“The wheelchair design you drew for me is a fantastic creation. If it weren’t for the staff request, I would be interested in making one.” Sakura giggled and continued with an excited smile, “The kids would love to play with it.”
[I heard Sakura sometimes carve wooden toys from the leftover materials and give them to the kids. Who knew Sakura, the woman who didn’t want anything to do with humans had fallen in love with both human and demigoblin kids.]
-I don’t like seeing Sakura recall what happened to her. Enjoying an ordinary life like this might one day help overcome the trauma.-
[Yeah. Sakura becomes agitated when she meets a human she doesn’t know. But she is starting to become less as time passes.]
“My good-hearted wife loves the children. I bet they love you too.”
“They like to invite me to play with them after dinner. I love to spend time with them.”
Vincent looked at Sakura, and fainty blushed. Sakura smiled so cheerfully that it made his heart flutter and his worry about leaving Sakra for six days with the others was relieved.
After eating dinner with everyone, Vincent rested in the living room.
Lupa didn’t leave this chance unnoticed. She swiftly sat beside his right side and asked if Vincent was pleased with her behavior during the visit.
Vincent looked at Lupa. The pair of puppy eyes begging to say yes made him frown. On the other hand, Kazumi had a good laugh.
[Lupa really wants to receive a reward, hehe.]
*Sigh* “You have a lot to learn, but if you agree to do better next time, I will give my good learning girl a reward.” Vincent compromised.
“Yes! I will act better as my mate said.” Lupa wagged her tail under the skirt, and her ears moved as if composing a delightful tune.
Vincent leaned his head. “How about I pet you all the way to the academy?” He said in a low voice.
Lupa became so delighted that she got up and went to look for Plow. She wanted to brag about how Vincent was going to reward her and not Plow.
The troublesome wolf girl was going to give Vincent unnecessary work because Vincent most likely had to please the unhappy little fox later in the evening.
Later, they gathered to leave for the academy. After saying their farewells, each person had a few minutes to chat before leaving.
Bessy appeared to pay Vincent. She gave him the usual contract scroll and stayed to say a few words.
Bessy thanked Vincent for the Lionheart emblem token Maid Xu gave her. She mentioned how a small group of patrol soldiers helped Bessy this week.
When a client tried to force a price decrease, Bessy saw the soldiers passing by the street she was in. After Bessy showed them the token, the soldiers assisted Bessy with whatever she needed without questions.
Bessy said, “Thank you for everything you are doing for my son.” with a warm, appreciative smile and me. Afterward, she went inside.
[Bessy’s complexity looks better than usual. I guess working by herself caused her unnecessary worrying and problems up until now.]
-I am glad someone else can benefit from the protection we are receiving.-
Vincent looked around and noticed Plow being held by Ester. The grumpy Plow was looking at Vincent, and she almost caused him to chuckle in front of her.
*Sigh* ‘Looks like Lupa really went to boast in front of the little Plow...’ Vincent thought.
Vincent moved his gaze and saw an exhausted Aceon hugging Tiffi. It appeared today event with Bobstrider offering Sakura a job, and meeting Lucas and Anna took all of his strength.
It made Vincent wonder why Aceon keeps treating Karta and Bobstrider with high respect instead of being friendly without any conditions. Even his daughter acts overly friendly around them.
Vincent believed Aceon was indebted to the Milloween family since Tiffi mentioned Aceon sweating before her awakening happened. Or Aceon had trouble with a high-ranked noble family in the past.
Vincent decided not to delve deeper. He went to his seat next to Sofy and Lupa. The adorable large white wolf licking her lips from excitement, was waiting to receive a ride full of cuddles and love.
*Team Ten Island*
Later that night, Vincent took Plow to the herb garden.
Plow became happy to hear how she was going to receive a reward for being a good girl. After spending a few hours together, the little fox relaxed enough to fall asleep. The long day and going to a different place made Plow tired.
*Day 175 – 30 November – Monday*
After a long and eventful Sunday, the Monday marking week fourteen of attending the academy arrived.
Vincent woke up with a smile today. If Biro received the message from his father, Vincent could start training to use Energy Flow for defense.
Vincent looked around and asked where Iris was. Ester informed him how Iris went to the garden earlier in the morning. Ester also noticed Iris frown as if she woke up with a headache.
Vincent became worried that if Iris went to pick up herbs to make medicine, she might be in pain. However, he wondered why Iris didn’t ask Lilith to cure her. The situation was starting to cause more worrying.
Vincent quickly arrived in the herb garden. Iris was tending the plants with water while Zero held a pot and was imitating Iris by spilling water on the ground.
[Iris doesn’t look troubled by a headache. She looks rather happy instead.]
-Even Zero is playing as a gardener and dropping water.-
Vincent approached Iris and asked how she was feeling.
Iris curved a delightful smile, revealing her cute dimples. She placed the can of water on the ground and ran to hug him.
Vincent became surprised to see Iris take the initiation first. He caressed her head while asking, “I heard you had a headache, but it seems you are more than fine.”
