Chapter 2470: Date

In short, after seeing off the girls returning home at the Moon Bay train station on Saturday morning, Xia De threw the crystal shoe and returned home.

The landing point of the crystal shoe was exactly Room 2 on the second floor of the house. Fiona, who had changed into a maid's dress, was currently looking around the room with a handkerchief, looking quite troubled:

"Xia De, doesn't your house have any places that need cleaning?"

With her big tail drooping on the carpet, the red dragon girl felt somewhat at a loss:

"Anyway, there's nothing to do, and I wanted to tidy up here, but your maids don't seem to have left me any work."

She probably misunderstood the identity of Jia Lin Na's maids, but Xia De didn't correct her:

"Fiona, you are guests here; you don't need to work in my house."

He forcibly took the handkerchief from Fiona's hand. The red dragon girl didn't insist, just nodded with her hands behind her back, looking very happy no matter what Xia De said.

Besides the corridor, there was also a door on the wall between Room 2 and Room 1 connecting the two rooms. When Xia De and Fiona returned to Room 1 together, they saw Little Mia lazily lying on the windowsill sunbathing, while Miss Miss Feilian An Na stood in the living room, looking up at the colorful "Mermaid" oil painting hanging on the wall.

Since the oil painting was framed, there was no need to worry about it fading, so its colors were still exactly the same as when Xia De first brought it back from Green Lake.

To this day, no one had ever discovered anything wrong with this painting. Xia De was very curious about what Miss Miss Feilian An Na would say, and she was indeed different from everyone else:

"You met that mermaid?"

"Yes, we've met many times; she has helped me a lot."

Xia De said softly. Miss Miss Feilian An Na nodded and then stopped continuing the topic. Although Xia De still wanted to talk to her about "Desire," since he didn't receive a warning, there was no need to pursue it.

The two ladies said they would stay in this era for about a week, and given that they arrived on Sunday and today is Saturday, it meant they didn't have much time left.

Today's group study meeting would probably be on the train, and Xia De was the only one absent, so he didn't have any other urgent matters today. After returning home and tidying up a bit, he took Miss Miss Feilian An Na and Fiona out, planning to tour Tuo Bei Si Ke, known as the "Pearl of the North," with them.

The prosperity of Tuo Bei Si Ke was somewhat different from that of Moon Bay. Perhaps to a demigod and a 13th-tier witch, both were far inferior to where they truly lived, but at least when they strolled through this ancient yet modern steam capital with Xia De, they showed full interest.

Strolling down Silver Cross Avenue and introducing them to the Yo De Er Palace and the Cavendish family, they talked about the history of Delarion; then, entering the Prophecy Association to find Vice President Ma Ke and taking out 【Founding·Light】 for appraisal, he jokingly asked the two ladies if they wanted to have their fortunes told here.

"Sure~"

Said Miss Miss Feilian An Na, who was dressed exceptionally young today. Xia De was stunned for a moment, then looked at Vice President Ma Ke, who was examining the cards like a dragon seeing treasure:

"Lu Weiya has gone on vacation, Vice President Ma Ke. Can you arrange a trustworthy fortune-teller?"

"Then what do you want to have told?"

In the familiar fortune-telling room on the second floor, Lu Weiya's colleague, Rachel Geller, a third-ring fortune-teller, asked the blonde lady sitting across the table, whose beauty made one feel ashamed of themselves. The latter smiled and looked at Xia De, who was standing to the side:

"Love."

Miss Geller glanced at this rumored "Duke's lover" and remembered the rumors in the association about Lu Weiya's ambiguous relationship with him:

"This is truly a difficult problem."

After the tour of the Prophecy Association, Xia De held Miss Miss Feilian An Na's hand and visited the dessert shops, clothing stores, and bookstores on both sides of Silver Cross Avenue with Fiona. Xia De gave Miss Miss Feilian An Na a new beige sun hat, and Fiona received a red wool scarf.

But lunch was not eaten on Silver Cross Avenue. Near noon, Xia De took them by carriage to the "Three Cats Inn" in St. Song Square in the north of the city, which he was most familiar with.

Although the innkeeper, Madame Sangmei, was also amazed by Miss Miss Feilian An Na's beauty, she still made her usual jokes:

"Detective Hamilton, you've brought two different girls again this time? Truly beautiful; it reminds me of myself in my youth."

The two witches didn't have any objections to eating lunch in such a place. During lunch, Xia De specifically asked if they were interested in such "travels," and they both indicated that this was fine.

"However, Xia De, your house is much smaller than I thought."

Fiona said, pointing out the most unreasonable point:

"You have so many witches around you; if one day everyone had to live in your house, even with the attic, it wouldn't be enough for everyone to have their own room."

Xia De stroked Little Mia, who was also brought out and was waiting for Xia De to feed her:

"Tuo Bei Si Ke is an inch of land worth an inch of gold; it's difficult to buy a house in the city center. However, if all the gold and silver in my hands were liquidated, it would actually be enough to buy a small manor outside the city."

This was mainly because Miss Xi Er Wei Ya had given Xia De a large sum of money alone yesterday, claiming it was a dividend from their business.

"But I prefer the current house. If I need rooms in the future, I can find a way to open up new rooms based on the existing space. You have also seen the 'Room 3' hidden on the third floor."

Which was the potion and alchemy workshop Xia De added to his home after the Green Lake incident.

"The spatial environment of your house is very strange."

Said Miss Miss Feilian An Na, who was elegantly tasting the mushroom and fresh fish soup. While Xia De's heart skipped a beat, she added:

"The space there is exceptionally stable, even more stable than most places we have seen in our era.

This may be related to the special 'doors' in your home that you mentioned. Those 'doors' are like nails, firmly fixing the space. So ordinary magic, such as 'Miss Feilian An Na's Glass Greenhouse' or 'Moxius's Mansion Spell,' cannot open up extra space for you at home, but relics should be fine."

She looked at Fiona:

"Remember to write a list for Xia De, listing the relics that can add extra space to his home."

"Yes, Teacher!"

The red dragon girl, who had just been saying that the chef at the "Three Cats Inn" was not as good as herself, nodded and said, but she would need to observe No. 6 St. Deran Square carefully again to give a better plan.

After lunch, Xia De took them to the Lower City theater not far from the Three Cats Inn to watch the performance of the "Jasmine Opera Troupe." Afterward, he took a carriage arranged by Jia Lin Na and went out of the city with the witches to the Jia Lin Na manor. Then, each riding a horse, the three spent this ordinary late summer afternoon in the countryside.

Xia De didn't let the maids follow, but instead turned the tools and food for the picnic into toys and carried them on his body. So in the afternoon, they not only had afternoon tea in an apple orchard, discussing the local soil and the growth of fruits and vegetables, but near sunset, they even had dinner beside a nameless small stream in the sunset glow.

The sumptuous dinner was obtained by Xia De using the magic 【Fiona's Housekeeping Servant】. This was not the first time he had used gems to exchange for food, but this dinner was exceptionally sumptuous, so much so that the three of them and one cat couldn't finish it.

Fiona was very interested in this magic:

"What is the principle of this magic? Is the food prepared in advance summoned, or is it connected to a wish-granting genie, asking them to help prepare the food?"

"Miss Miss Feilian An Na, what do you think?"

Xia De asked the blonde witch with a smile. She was sitting sideways on a soft cushion on the picnic cloth, her slightly curled legs covered by her skirt, but one could still see the brown women's cloth boots and the black silk stockings above the boots.

The sun had now sunk to the end of the western horizon. In the last ray of sunlight, not only Little Mia's fur but even her blonde hair seemed to be shining.

Because there was no one nearby, Fiona on the side had also released her big tail. The tail with crimson scales lay casually on the picnic cloth, and Fiona would only shift her position somewhat embarrassedly when Xia De looked at it.

Miss Miss Feilian An Na smiled and answered this question:

"I think this is a magic related to time."

"Time! Teacher Miss Feilian An Na, what exactly is it like?"

Fiona asked again, but the older witch didn't answer, instead looking at Xia De, who was standing with his back to the sunset. She seemed a bit distracted for a moment, a bit melancholy, and finally just said:

"Today is very nice, Xia De."

"What?"

Xia De snapped his fingers, and the candles on the candlesticks that were delivered with the dinner lit up. Then he waved his hand, and translucent bright red butterflies flew out from his hands, but they didn't go far, instead scattering around them.

Then, Xia De pinched his fingers, and the light intensity around them, which still had a dim yellow color, weakened bit by bit until it completely reached night. This didn't change the light level of the whole world; Xia De didn't have that ability; he just briefly affected the light around them.

Finally, he flicked a bit of silver starlight from his fingertips, and that bit of silver light fell into the small stream behind him. As the stream flowed, the starlight spread in the water until the entire stream was filled with dotted silver-blue light, as if the galaxy had fallen beside them.

"Oh~"

Fiona exclaimed at this scene. Although she was stronger than Xia De, she couldn't have imagined such a scene of having a candlelight dinner beside the galaxy with red butterflies under the night sky.

Miss Miss Feilian An Na still looked at Xia De gently:

"I mean, thank you for your hospitality. I feel more and more sorry for Bu Lai Ni that she couldn't come to visit you with us." ===== CHAPTER 2471 =====
