"A friend? Kalina, do you really know someone at that academy?"
"Yes Mom, I happened to meet them when I was a mercenary."
"Wow, that's so reliable, Little NA!" Yumo exclaimed.
At this moment, Shuoyue, floating beside Yumo, anxiously came to the black-haired girl and affectionately wrapped her arms around her neck, nestling her little face against her mother's cheek.
"Mommy, Mommy, if you're going to Red Leaf Empire, can you take me with you?"
"You want to go too?"
"Yes! I'm curious about what the south is like! And... I want to continue staying by Mommy's side. Mommy hasn't been with me for long. You came back this time and are leaving again so soon..."
As she spoke, Shuoyue pouted her little mouth, making a displeased expression.
This caused Yumo to pause slightly, scratching her cheek in a touch of embarrassment.
"Well..."
