Elusa began to tell her story to Mavis.
Mavis' eyes were curved, and her two small hands were supporting her cheeks. She was lying on the sofa, her two small and delicate jade feet were propped up, swaying back and forth as she listened with great interest.
Maples returned to the study, put the book in his hand back on the bookshelf, then walked out of the room. He casually greeted Mavis and Elusa, then pushed the door open and walked into the courtyard.
Wendy obediently looked at Maples, then looked at Elusa and Mavis. After a brief hesitation, she put on her slippers and walked to the entrance of the courtyard. She looked at Maples with a cute smile.
"What are you so happy about?"
Maples picked up the kettle to water the flowers and smiled at her.
Wendy's little face had a smile, and she said, "It's nothing, I just feel very at ease and happy when I see Big Brother Maples."
"It's quite stressful to go out and do a commission alone."
Maples looked at her and laughed. He walked over and reached out to touch her little head.
Wendy nodded and wrung her two small hands, and said, "Yes, if I don't do well alone, the commission will fail. It's not as safe as when I'm with everyone."
Maples smiled and said, "But you still have to grow."
When Wendy heard Maples' words, she didn't know what to think, but her cheeks suddenly flushed red. For a moment, she didn't dare to raise her head. She just stood there with her head lowered, hot air coming out of her head.
Maples couldn't hold back his curiosity for a moment and glanced at her inner thoughts. He couldn't help but smile and couldn't help but laugh.
What … I don't want to grow, but my chest needs to grow a little …
What … If I don't grow, I can only be Maples' little sister …
In short, all kinds of messy thoughts filled her little head.
Maples smiled and shook his head helplessly. Little Wendy was finally led astray by the environment created by Elusa and Mira, and was not as simple as before.
"Okay."
"As a reward for completing the mission alone, I can accompany you to the next mission. You can choose any one of them."
Maple Night said to Wendy with a hint of affection in his voice.
Although little Wendy was not as innocent as before, she was still as cute as ever. Cuteness was a priceless treasure in this world.
"Eh?!"
Wendy was stunned, and the blush on her cheeks faded a little. She looked at Maples in surprise, and a trace of surprise gradually appeared on her face as she said, "Re-really?"
Maples pinched her cheeks and said, "When have I ever lied to you?"
"Won't I disturb Brother Maples?"
Wendy said timidly.
Maples smiled warmly and said, "No, I don't have anything to do right now, and I won't have anything to do for a long time. I just want to relax for a while, and doing commissions is also within the scope of leisure for me."
Yes!
Wendy nodded in understanding. With Maples' status as a legendary Archmage, naturally any commission would not be a problem for Maples, and he could treat it as leisure.
Wendy poked her finger and said apprehensively.
"Then, then I'll go choose the commission?"
"Go ahead."
Maples smiled at her.
A trace of excitement flashed through Wendy's big eyes, and then she jogged out of the courtyard. However, she forgot that she was still wearing slippers, and after running for two steps, she suddenly fell forward.
Maples looked at this scene and couldn't help but laugh. He bent his finger forward, and just as Wendy was about to touch the ground, she suddenly lost gravity and floated up.
"You didn't even change your shoes."
"Ah … That, that … I was a little too excited …"
Wendy stabilized herself on the ground again, and an embarrassed expression appeared on her face. Then, she quickly ran into the house, changed into her slippers, and ran out in the direction of the guild.
"I'm doing a commission!"
Mavis looked at Maples, and her big eyes curved into crescents: "I haven't done a commission in a long time, it should be very interesting."
"You should first familiarize yourself with the Hundred Years Later Guild."
Maples bent his index finger and flicked Mavis' forehead: "I'll take you next time."
As soon as he said this, Elusa silently looked at Maples.
Maples looked at her with a helpless expression, but he still smiled and sighed: "Okay, you guys take turns. You can discuss the order yourselves, or you can do it together, but only once."
"Then next time, I'll go first."
Elusa smiled, but she didn't compete with Mavis.
Mavis narrowed her big eyes and nodded.
Maples faintly smiled, and then withdrew his gaze. He picked up the water bottle and continued to water the plants in the garden. Then, his gaze swept over the direction of the guild, and after looking for a moment, the corner of his mouth slightly trembled.
"Choosing a commission is quite smart."
…
Inside the guild.
Wendy ran in and looked at the bulletin board on the first floor. After thinking for a while, she slipped up to the second floor.
Makarov saw Wendy's actions and felt a little strange, but he didn't immediately scold her. After all, everyone knew Wendy's personality. She wouldn't act recklessly like Naz.
"Wendy?"
Mila looked at Wendy curiously.
Wendy said obediently: "Maples wants to choose a commission and said I can choose any one. Then, the one on the second floor should be fine too."
"How can you help others choose a commission … Oh, it's Maples, then it's fine."
Makarov's expression relaxed.
In this guild, Maples was indeed qualified to choose a commission.
Wendy, who knew Maples' identity, also knew that even the most difficult Hundred Years Later Mission wouldn't be a problem for Maples, but she didn't want to choose the most difficult one. She was actually quite smart. Since she could choose a mission, it would be best for her to choose the one with the longest time.
This way, she could spend more time with Maples.
"Hmm … This one should work."
After a while, Wendy finally chose an S-rank commission.
The content of the commission was that merchant ships traveling between the Eastern and Western Continents had met with accidents four times in a row due to unknown reasons. The commission hoped that a guild could go to the Western Continent to investigate.
Wendy didn't know much about the Western Continent, but since it left Ishgard, it must be somewhere very far away. This way, not only would Maples accompany her on the commission, it would also be a long journey.
"It should work."
Wendy carefully looked at the commission again, and finally smiled. After saying goodbye to Makarov, she hugged the commission and ran out of the guild.
"A commission from the Western Continent … This child …"
Makarov glanced at it, and then withdrew his gaze. It was a commission that Maples wanted, and although the journey was long, it was only an S-rank. There was no need to care.
