Mag was cooking in the kitchen, when Amy carried a stool to the kitchen's entrance and sat on it, stroking the cat as she asked, "Father, are we going to stay in Chaos City or go to Rodu next?"
"What does Little Amy think?" Mag asked with a smile.
Amy thought about it seriously. "I can play with Big Sister Miya and the ladies, Jessica and Daphne in Chaos City. It's more fun than Rodu."
"It's indeed so." Mag nodded. Other than having a greater variety of food, Rodu wasn't that fun to the two children.
However, he still needed a dependable employee before he could wash his hands off Saipan Tavern.
However, being the supreme commander of the allied forces now, he really didn't have the time to care if Saipan Tavern would lose its customers because its boss had gone away.
"However, I can watch 'Miss Black Cat' in Rodu. The big sister's performance is so nice. I want to watch it again." Amy pouted as she rubbed Ugly Duckling's chubby face in a dilemma.
At that moment, someone knocked on the door.
"I'll go get the door!" Amy put Ugly Duckling down and ran to the door with her short legs. She tiptoed and struggled to pull open the door.
Two strapping figures stood at the door.
Amy looked up and went white when she saw who they were. She exclaimed, "Masters, are we starting school so early?!"
They were Krassu and Urien.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"Hehe. It's still a little early. Don't be nervous, Little Amy. We're just here to test you on your recent homework. We want to see if you have slacked off during the holidays," Krassu said with a doting smile.
"That's right." Urien nodded.
Amy pouted and sadly mumbled, "Shouldn't we just play and have fun during the holidays? Why do I still have to work hard? I don't want to work hard…"
Her eyes got red as she spoke and tears gathered in her big eyes as if they were going to fall at any time.
"Erm…"
Krassu and Urien froze. Obviously, they were still helpless when the little one pretended to be sad.
"Don't cry, don't cry. Master is just joking. We simply came to see Little Amy because we haven't seen you for a long time." Krassu quickly waved his hands and nudged Urien with his elbow. "Isn't it so, Urien?"
Urien rubbed his tummy secretly, but he still nodded. "Yes."
"Is it really so?" Amy looked at the two of them and instantly revealed a cute smile as she raised her hands up and said, "I've super missed you two Masters! Really."
Looking at the smile on their little disciple, Krassu and Urien couldn't help but smile too.
Mag came out from the kitchen and said to the two of them, "You guys are here, Masters. Come and have a seat. I guess you two haven't had your meals yet. Why don't you guys eat together with us since I'm cooking."
"We have…"
"Yes, what a coincidence. We haven't eaten yet. I feel rather shy to impose on you guys." Krassu was already sitting at the table as he spoke.
Urien flicked a glance at him and frowned, but he also sat at the table.
"Please wait a while. I still have two more dishes to cook." Mag poured them a glass of water each, before going back to the kitchen to continue cooking.
These two were usually intolerant of each other. They must have some issues that made them come visit Mag together today.
Mag listened to their conversation while he cooked.
"Come over here, Little Amy." Krassu got Amy to go over. He held her hand and sized her up for a while, before he nodded with satisfaction. "Although there's not much improvement, your face has gotten rounder and you look cuter."
Urien rolled his eyes and tapped Amy's glabella gently. A snowflake blossomed at her glabella before rapidly transforming into an ice crystal which hovered in front of her forehead.
"Not bad. You'll be able to use the real domain after some time." Urien retracted his hands and nodded at the five-pointed crystal with satisfaction.
"I practise very hard every day," Amy said with a smile as she listened to her masters' praises.
Mag also smiled in the kitchen. Even though the little one loved to eat and sleep, she did practice consciously for two to three hours each day. Compared to her peers, she was already a hardworking role model.
Krassu began to heap praises on Amy, making her extremely happy.
"Little Amy, Master has something to give you. You must keep them well." Krassu took out a green space magic bracelet. With the snap of his fingers, a photostone and a thick book appeared on the table.
Amy picked up the photostone to have a closer look before sizing up the thick book and asked, "Master, what are these?"
Krassu introduced the items with a smile. "Master has specially recorded some magic tutorials for you in this photostone. This book is the record of melee magic that I have just written. There is only one in this world."
"Oh." Amy nodded and sized up the two items curiously, but she quickly put them down and looked up at Krassu. "Master, are you abandoning me?"
Mag also stopped cooking in the kitchen.
Krassu shook his head and said, "Why would I? Little Amy is so adorable. How can Master bear to abandon you?"
"Then, why are you giving me all these things? Are you not going to teach Little Amy magic? Little Amy will be hardworking. Don't give up on Little Amy, please?" Amy looked at Krassu anxiously. Tears had already gathered in her eyes.
"It's not like that, Little Amy. Master needs to go on a long trip. I'm afraid that you won't work hard, so I'm leaving you with these two items.
"I hope you will have become more powerful by the time Master returns. By then, I will personally test if you have worked hard." Krassu rubbed Amy's head with a smile.
"Really?" Amy sniffled and looked at Krassu with suspicions.
"It's true." Urien raised his hand and an ice-blue ring appeared on the table, alongside an ice crystal mirror that looked like a snowflake.
"Little Amy, these are the things that I'm leaving to you. Your affinity with ice magic is far above me, so your accomplishments in the future will definitely surpass mine." Urien looked at Amy and smiled with consolation. "The happiest thing I did in my whole life is taking you in as my disciple."
"T-then, when are you guys coming back?" Amy asked the two of them.
"Very soon. Perhaps, we'll return when your school reopens," Krassu answered with a smile.
Urien nodded as well.
A smile reappeared on Amy's face. Nodding her head seriously, she said, "Yes. I will study magic very, very hard. You two will be shocked when you are back."
"Alright. We'll wait for it." Krassu chuckled.
Mag carried the dishes out, took a bottle of Maotai from the liquor cabinet and said with a smile, "Masters, it's rare for us to get together. Why don't we have a drink?"
