Spring went and autumn came. Time flew by.
A year had passed since Wendy and Naz joined the guild, and it was now year x778.
This year, Elusa was 13 years old, Jubia was 11 years old, Wendy was 6 years old, Mavis was 105 years old, and Maples was 19 years old.
For him who could travel through time, age could naturally be defined at will. He felt that 19 years old was not bad. It was just right for him to be an adult and not yet 20 years old. He was not an adult in the true sense, so he slightly lowered it by one year.
In the guild.
The six-year-old Wendy still had not grown up, but in this year, she had completely adapted to her companions in the guild. She was no longer as shy as before, and because of her cuteness, the Magic Shooters in the guild basically took care of her.
Walking in the guild, she would often be invited to eat ice cream, cakes, and the like, and they were all normal and more delicious ice cream and cakes.
Wendy was a little embarrassed at everyone's kindness at first, but later Elusa enlightened her that the guild was home, and her companions were family. There was nothing to be embarrassed about between family members, and she gradually adapted to everyone's love for her.
"Wendy, come here, come here. Look at the gift that my client gave me when I went to deal with the monsters this time."
One of the Magic Shooters in the guild smiled and waved at Wendy. He took out an exquisite necklace and handed it to Wendy. He blinked and said, "It's said that wearing it often has the effect of refreshing the mind."
Dong!
As soon as his voice fell, before Wendy could respond, a fat female Magic Shooter next to him punched him on the head and said, "Idiot, Wendy is a Sky Slayer Magic Shooter. She uses auxiliary magic. What's the use of this thing … Are you waiting for Wendy to grow up to do something to her?"
"Ouch, ouch … How is that possible!"
The Magic Shooter was pinched by the ear and screamed. He looked at her with a smile and handed over the necklace in his hand, saying, "Here, here."
Wendy looked at this scene and blinked, showing a look of confusion, but in the end, she still showed a cute and innocent smile. In short, she knew that it was goodwill.
At this moment.
The guild door was pushed open, and President Makarov walked in with a piece of paper in his hand and walked to the counter.
Many Magic Shooters in the guild greeted Makarov.
"Guild Leader, you're back after the meeting?"
"The council didn't give us any trouble, right?"
Makarov waved his hand at the crowd before jumping onto the bar counter and raising the piece of paper in his hand. "A bunch of people who only know how to eat and only know how to order others around," he said unhappily. "Here, traces of demons have appeared in the north, and they hope our guild will send people to investigate …"
Makao scratched his head and said with a bit of a headache: "Demons, that's very dangerous. Why do we have to do this kind of work again?"
"Let me burn it to ashes!"
Naz let out a strange cry, waved his arms, spat out flames from his mouth, and excitedly opened his mouth.
Bang!
Makarov slapped Naz's head and slapped him to the ground. He glanced at him in annoyance. This kind of mission wasn't something a young Naz could handle.
At this time, Maple Night's leisurely voice could be heard from the 2nd floor. "Investigating the whereabouts of Demons is a troublesome matter. Only S-rank High Mages can do it."
Everyone in the guild raised their heads to look at the second floor.
Maples placed his hands on the armrest of the second floor and said with an easy-going expression, "Kildas went to carry out the mission. Looks like I'll have to go."
Makarov looked at Maples and said, "It's fine to ignore them if you don't want to go."
Compared to his family, the members of the council were naturally a group of people who could eat shit at any time. They only knew how to assign troublesome tasks to others. He didn't intend to accept this kind of mission. It was fine to ignore the council anyway.
"It just so happens that I'm a bit bored."
Feng Ye smiled and said, "Let's make a trip there. We can also bring a few people along and train them a little."
Then, he walked down from the second floor and glanced at the guild. "Elusa, Jubia, Wendy … Let's form a temporary team."
Slap!
Makarov slapped his hand to his forehead.
Elusa was indeed quite strong in the guild, but Jubia was a little weaker. As for Wendy, she obviously had almost no combat power.
Bringing Elusa could be said to be one more combat power, but bringing Wendy … This was not to investigate the demon but to take advantage of this opportunity to go to the north for a vacation!
"Okay!"
Elusa, Jubia, and the others heard Maples' greeting and were almost all happy to speak.
Since they joined the guild, only Wendy had been brought by Maples to do a few missions, and they had never acted with Maples.
They understood this. After all, Wendy needed more care, and they weren't strong enough before. Maples couldn't bring all three of them at once, and it would be troublesome to take care of them in case of an accident. But now, she was a relatively strong Magic Shooter in the guild, and Jubia was not weak. At least, they would not be a burden.
"Then go pack up, and then we'll set off."
Maples smiled at Elusa and Jubia, then walked out of the guild.
…
Ten days later.
In an open forest in the north of the Kingdom of Fiore, Maples, Elusa, Jubia, and Wendy were walking through the forest.
Although it was said to be investigating the traces of the demon, because of Maples' presence along the way, Elusa and Jubia were not worried about the mission. In addition, it was rare to be able to carry out a mission with Maples, so these ten days were as happy as a trip.
Maples walked at the front, Wendy followed closely beside Maples, and Elusa and Jubia walked at the back.
They had walked a long distance today, and Elusa and Jubia were obviously a little tired. Although Wendy was a Dragon Slayer Magic Shooter, she was only six years old after all. She also walked slowly, feeling a burning sensation on the soles of her feet.
At this moment, Maples turned to look at her and said gently,
"Can you continue?"
"Yes … Yes …"
Wendy opened her cute big eyes and nodded at Maples.
Maples smiled, squatted down beside her, reached out, picked her up, and let her sit in his arms before continuing to walk forward.
Jubia, who was following behind, looked at this scene with some envy, but it was only a little. After all, Wendy was only six years old, and this was treatment that only children could enjoy.
After walking for a while.
The front suddenly opened up.
The group had already passed through the forest and came to a somewhat open canyon.
"Okay, let's rest here today."
Maple Night stopped in his tracks and sensed the breeze blowing from the front before speaking to Elusa and Jubia in an easygoing manner.
Elusa and Jubia nodded and immediately began to take out their equipment and set up their tents. After a while, two medium-sized tents were set up.
Wendy was in charge of looking for ingredients, but it was actually Maples who was in charge.
"You already have a certain foundation for your support spells, but you haven't learned many offensive spells yet. Did Grandini teach you the most basic spell, Breath?"
Maples brought Wendy to a high point in the canyon and asked Wendy.
Wendy was a little embarrassed and said, "She taught me, but I didn't grasp the technique at all."
Maples smiled and patted Wendy's little head, then looked up at the sky and saw a flying bird that had appeared at an extremely high altitude, and said, "Wendy, look …"
He raised his head and took a gentle breath. The air entered his mouth and brewed with mana, then he spat it into the sky.
"Heavenly Dragon's Roar!"
"Boom!!!"
A dragon's breath pierced through the sky and annihilated half of the wings of the flying eagle, causing it to fall powerlessly from the sky. Maples stretched out his hand and caught it.
Wendy blinked and showed a look of admiration, and said,
"So powerful …"
"Try it."
Maples raised his chin and smiled at Wendy.
Wendy nodded and looked up at the sky. She closed her eyes and took a deep breath, then exhaled with all her might and tried to make a super fierce roar.
"Heavenly Dragon's Roar …"
Phew.
She spat out a small ball of air that was almost invisible to the naked eye, looking like a dragon burping.
Looking at her masterpiece, her cheeks flushed red and she revealed a shy expression.
"Hahahaha."
Maples couldn't help but laugh at Wendy's cute appearance, and said, "Sure enough, it's too early for you to learn this. Take it slow."
Wendy didn't know what to do with Feng Ye's smile until Feng Ye reached out and patted her little head. He gave her a bright smile, which made her smile sweetly as well.
Bang! Bang!!
Maples raised his finger and made a pistol gesture. He fired a few shots at the sky and the canyon, then waved his hand and some of the prey he killed flew over.
Maples and Wendy returned to the camp with the food they caught. Soon, a bonfire was set up, and various kinds of meat were cut and roasted on the bonfire.
"It would be great if I could soak in a hot spring after walking for a day."
Elusa ate the roasted meat, stretched her body, and looked in the direction of Jubia, and said, "Can you make a hot spring with your magic?"
Jubia shook her head and said, "No, I can only make hot water, and there's no place to put hot water here …"
She paused and turned to Maples with a smile that was completely different from the one she showed to Elusa, and said, "But if Sir Maples wants, you can take a bath in Jubia's body ~ Elusa can forget about it."
As she said, she turned herself into a stream of steaming water and poked her head out of the water, and said with a smile, "Jubia can adjust the water temperature."
Is this a human-shaped fully automatic bathtub?
Maples' mouth twitched. This Rain Maiden always knows how to play.
