Chapter 93 – Final Detail

A few minutes later, I opened the door to let Kuini in. She checked my work and couldn’t help being impressed by the swift handling.

"I'll go now. I appreciate your help, Kuini."

"Yes, please be careful in your travels, my Lord."

With a final wave of the hand, I rode my carriage and led the horse toward the village entrance. I only had one thing left to do now.

**********

As soon as Tila was gone, Kuini closed the warehouse door from the inside and locked it. She could still feel his lips on her forehead. His kiss took her completely by surprise. Her body was still feeling the heat that rushed to her head, even now that he had left. Relief time ended not too long ago but she was already feeling the need for another session.

For some time, the moans of an excited young female bunny resonated in the warehouse. However, in a true bunny-like fashion, they didn't last very long. Less than five minutes later, a refreshed girl exited the building to head towards home. All that action had made her hungry. She hoped her family had kept some food for her.

Once I was out of people's sight, I put the boxes of crops in my storage and teleported the carriage and horses to Geola. I parked in my rental space before taking care of the horses the way I was told to. I brushed them while giving them plenty of water and food. When I believed they were comfortable enough, I teleported in front of Suuru's house.

She quickly opened the door after I knocked on it. I noticed she was sweating a little, probably due to practicing her magic.

"Tila. What's wrong?"

"Can I come in? There's something I want to discuss."

"Go ahead."

We sat at the living room table, in front of each other.

"Did something happen?"

"Yes. Or at least, I believe something might happen. I think there might be the start of a pandemic in Geola."

"A pandemic? That's terrible!"

"Nothing is certain yet. I just noticed a few too many people coughing in the same way and I don't want to take any risk. I'm going to stay away from Geola for a while."

"That's a good idea. Since you can teleport, it's easy for you to stay elsewhere…"

Her voice diminished at the end of her sentence and she stopped talking for a bit. After a couple of seconds, she asked.

"Do you want to stay here?"

"Actually… no. I have other plans."

"What plans?"

"I think this is an opportunity for me to visit another country. You probably don't know about it but I'm going to a place called Makji. It's located north of Geola."

"Huh? Really?"

"Yes. And I'm leaving tomorrow morning. I already prepared everything. I came here to tell you that."

"Oh… But, what about our stall here?"

"I bought a large quantity of crops so you should be able to last for a week or so. If I'm still not back by then, you can just take a vacation."

"Wait. What do you mean by that? You can still teleport here whenever you want, right?"

"I'll be traveling with other people so I probably won't be able to teleport away if I don't want to look too suspicious."

"But… But… What about me?"

"I'll leave my previous cart for you here or you can buy something better if you want. It'll be harder to transport the food every day but that's what everyone normally does, right? And then I'm sure you can handle our clients by yourself. You've done that for a week already."

"But… It's too sudden!"

"Well, if it's too much, you can also wait for me to come back. Do you need some money?"

"I don't need any money! It's just, just, a bit too selfish!"

"It's a good time to expand my network. I would’ve done it eventually."

I then smiled mischievously.

"Suuru, no need to get upset. I know you can't live without me but children need to leave the nest eventually."

"Who said that!"

"It's your chance to grow up and become independent."

"I'm the child here? Tila!"

"Hahaha!"

"I'm not laughing!"

It took a bit more time but I managed to calm her down in the end. Once that phase was gone, she switched to being worried about me instead, and I had to reassure her again.

"I'll be escorted by a rank 2 earth sorceress and a rank 6 lightning sorceress. I'll be fine."

"A rank 6? Ah, yes, it's nothing special in the outside world, right?"

"I wouldn't say it's nothing special but there's a certain number of them, yes."

"Still, you have to be prudent. Don't do anything strange like always."

"I can't give any promise about that."

This made her sigh.

"I'm worried. Should I go with you?"

"No. I can take care of myself since I'm rank 4 but you're a pure rank 0. It's probably too much to go somewhere we don't know anything about. You should focus on ranking up first."

"I'm training hard. Every day."

"That's great. Do you feel like you're making some progress?"

"A little bit. Ah, I have one question for you."

"Tell me."

"How do I know if I did a perfect cast or not?"

"You won't be able to miss it. The first perfect cast is special. You'll instantly get a small increase in sel quantity and affinity. Trust me, you'll feel it."

"I guess I haven't managed to do it yet, then."

"That's completely normal. It's a process that takes seasons for geniuses, and years for standard people."

"I know… Then…"

She looked at me with some longing.

"Do you want to sleep together tonight?"

"Sex?"

"No sex."

"That's a shame. Okay, let's do that. I missed sleeping with you."

She smiled a little.

"…Me too."
