Chapter 538

Elosa began to narrate her story for Mavis.

Mavis squinted her big eyes and held her cheeks with her two small hands. She lay on the sofa, raised her two small and exquisite feet, and swung them back and forth as she listened with great interest.

Maple returned to the study, put the book in his hand back on the bookshelf, and walked out of the room. He casually greeted Mavis and Elosa, then pushed open the door and walked out into the courtyard.

Wendy obediently looked at Maple, then looked at Elutha and Mavis. After a brief moment of hesitation, she put on her slippers and walked to the entrance of the courtyard. She looked at Maple with a lovely smile.

"What are you so happy about?"

Maple picked up the kettle and watered the flowers, then smiled at her.

There was a smile on Wendy's small face, and she said, "It's nothing. It's just that seeing Big Brother Maple here makes me feel at ease and happy."

"It must be quite stressful to go out and do a commission alone."

Seeing her appearance, Maple couldn't help but laugh. He walked over and reached out his hand to pat her little head.

Wendy nodded, and her two small hands twisted as she said, "That's right. If I'm alone, if I can't do it well, the commission will fail, and I won't feel as at ease as when I'm with everyone."

Maple smiled and said, "But you still have to grow up."

When Wendy heard Maple's words, she seemed to have thought of something, and her cheeks suddenly flushed red. She didn't dare to raise her head for a moment, and just stood there with her head lowered, steam rising from her head.

For a moment, Maple couldn't help but be curious. He glanced at her inner thoughts and couldn't help but chuckle.

What … I don't really want to grow up, but my breasts need to grow a little …

What … If I don't grow up, I can only be Maple's younger sister …

At any rate, all sorts of random thoughts filled her little head.

Maple helplessly shook his head as he chuckled. Little Wendy had finally been led astray by the environment created by Elosa, Mila, and the others. She was no longer as innocent as she used to be.

"Alright."

"As a reward for completing a commission alone, I can accompany you to the next commission. You can choose whichever one you like."

Feng Ye spoke to Wendy in a doting tone.

Although little Wendy wasn't as innocent as she used to be, she was still as cute as before. Cuteness was a priceless treasure in this world.

"Eh!?"

Wendy paused in surprise as the blush on her cheeks receded slightly. She looked at Maple in surprise, and then gradually revealed a look of pleasant surprise as she asked, "R-really?"

Maple reached out and pinched her cheek as he asked, "When have I ever lied to you?"

"Won't I disturb Brother Maple?"

Wendy asked timidly.

Maple smiled warmly and replied, "I won't. I don't have anything to do right now, and I won't have anything to do for a very long time. I just intend to relax for a while. Besides, doing commissions is also within the scope of my leisure time."

'That's right!

Wendy nodded in understanding. With Maple's status as the legendary High Mage, he naturally wouldn't feel any pressure from any commission. He would treat it as a form of leisure.

Wendy poked her fingers and said nervously, "That's right.

"Then, then I'll go choose the commission?"

Maple smiled at her.

A trace of excitement flashed through Wendy's large eyes as she jogged out of the courtyard. However, she forgot that she was still wearing slippers, and she fell forward after taking just two steps.

Seeing this, Maple couldn't help but laugh helplessly. He pointed his finger at Wendy, and just as she was about to come into close contact with the ground, gravity suddenly disappeared and Wendy began to hover in the air.

A trace of excitement flashed through Wendy's large eyes as she ran out of the courtyard. However, she forgot that she was still wearing slippers, and she fell forward after taking just two steps.

"You didn't even change your slippers."

"Ah … t-that … I got a little too excited …"

Wendy landed firmly on the ground and revealed an embarrassed expression. She then quickly ran into the house, changed her slippers, and ran out in the direction of the guild.

"Do a commission!"

Mavis looked at Maple, and her large eyes curved into crescent moons. She said, "I haven't done a commission in a long time. It must be very interesting."

"You should first familiarize yourself with the guild in a hundred years."

Maple bent his index finger and lightly flicked Mavis's forehead. He smiled and said, "I'll take you there next time."

As soon as he said this, Elosa silently looked at Maple.

Seeing her gaze, Maple felt a little helpless, but also a little amused. He sighed and said, "Alright, you guys can take turns. You can decide the order, or you can do it together, but only once."

"Then let's do it first next time."

Elosa smiled, but she didn't fight with Mavis.

Mavis narrowed her large eyes and nodded.

Maple smiled, then withdrew his gaze. He picked up the canteen and continued to water the flowers and plants in the garden. Then, he glanced in the direction of the guild. After looking for a moment, the corner of his mouth twitched slightly.

"You're quite smart to choose a commission."

…

Inside the guild.

Wendy ran in. First, she looked around the notice 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?"

Mira looked at Wendy curiously.

Wendy obediently said, "Big Brother Maple wants to choose a commission and said that I can choose any one of them. The one on the second floor should be fine, right?"

"How can you choose a commission for someone else … Oh, it's Maple. It's fine then."

Makarov's expression relaxed.

In this guild, Maple was indeed someone who had the right to choose any commission he wanted.

Wendy, who knew Maple's identity, also knew that even the most difficult hundred-year mission wouldn't be a problem for him. However, she didn't want to choose the most difficult mission. She was actually quite smart. Since she could choose a mission, she would definitely choose a mission that required the longest time.

That way, she would be able to spend more time with Maple.

"Hmm … this should be fine."

After looking around for a while, Wendy finally chose an S-rank commission.

The content of this commission was that the merchant ships traveling between the Eastern and Western Continents had met with accidents due to unknown reasons four times in a row. The commission hoped that a guild could go to the Western Continent to investigate this matter.

Wendy didn't know much about the Western Continent, but since they had already left Ishugar, it must be a very distant place. This way, not only would Maple accompany her to complete the commission, but it would also be a trip to a faraway place.

"It should be fine."

Wendy carefully looked at the commission again, and finally revealed a smile. 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 retracted his gaze. After all, it was a commission that Maple wanted to accept. Although the journey was long, it was still only an S-rank mission, so there was no need to care.
